Patent number: 10367782Abstract: A bus node is capable of performing a method, for the assigning of bus node addresses to bus nodes of a serial data bus. The method is performed with the aid of bus shunt resistors in the individual bus nodes of the data bus system in an assignment time period. After the assigning of bus node addresses to the bus nodes in the assignment time period, there follows an operating time period. For this purpose, the bus node comprises such a bus shunt resistor. The bus node is characterized by a bus shunt bypass switch which, prior to assigning a bus node address to the bus node in the assignment time period is opened and which after the assignment of bus node address to the bus node in the assignment time period is closed, and which is closed in the operating time period.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Elmos Semiconductor AGInventors: Christian Schmitz, Bernd Burchard

Publication number: 20180347567Abstract: A Method for controlling the liquid injection of a compressor device or expander device. This compressor device includes at least one compressor element or expander element, whereby the element comprises a housing that comprises a rotor chamber in which at least one rotor is rotatably affixed by means of bearings, whereby liquid is injected into the element. The method comprises the step of providing two independent separated liquid supplies to the element, whereby one liquid supply is injected into the rotor chamber and the other liquid supply is injected at the location of the bearings. The separated liquid supplies are realised by means of a modular channelling piece of an injection module.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2016Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: ATLAS COPCO AIRPOWER, NAAMLOZE VENNOOTSCHAPInventors: Sofie DEPREZ, Christian SCHMITZ, Johan Julia J.

Patent number: 9961062Abstract: In various example embodiments, an authentication server provides a secure communication pathway between a client device and a service provider. The authentication server has been previously authenticated with the service provider and establishes a tunnel for receiving requested information from the service provider. The tunnel is implemented according to Representational State Transfer (“REST”) principles, so the client device can send one or more REST requests to the authentication server, which then redirects such requests to the service provider via the established tunnel. In addition, the client device may be previously authenticated with the authentication server such that the client device does not need to explicitly authenticate to the service provider each time information is requested.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Marko Degenkolb, Sascha Kiefer, Christian Schmitz, Stefan Schreck

Patent number: 8919536Abstract: A conveying device for conveying containers in a conveying direction, the containers having bottoms, each of which has a cross-section characterized by a standing-bottom diameter or a smaller and larger standing-bottom diameter. The device has conveyor belts extending along a conveying direction forming a closed loop. The conveyor belts form, with upper-loop lengths thereof, a sub-region of a conveying surface, the upper-loop lengths being disposed adjacent to each other in a rows offset in an axial direction. The containers stand on the upper-loop lengths on their bottoms. The conveyor belts have a width that, for containers having a circular cross-section, is smaller than half the standing-bottom diameter of the smallest container diameter to be conveyed, and, for containers having a non-circular cross-section, is smaller than half a smaller standing-bottom diameter of a smallest container diameter to be conveyed.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: KHS GmbHInventors: Berthold Paroth, Martin Backhaus, Christian Schmitz

Patent number: 8850245Abstract: A method for the switching of participants of a bus system from a first state with reduced energy consumption to a second state with increased energy consumption relative to the first state, wherein, for communication between the participants of the bus system, data frames are transmitted which comprise, inter alia, a message identification field (e.g. CAN message) and a useful-data field (e.g. CAN payload), wherein, according to said method, each participant, for switching from the first state to the second state, reacts on data frames with respectively predetermined data contents in the message identification field as well as in the useful-data field. Further, in the bus system, for selective switching of a participant from the first state to the second state, those data frames will be transmitted on whose message-identification-field contents and useful data-field-contents the selectively addressable participant reacts.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: ELMOS Semiconductor AGInventors: Radoslaw Watroba, Rainer Kraly, Christian Schmitz
