Patent number: 11946825Abstract: A device for monitoring a shaft coupling coupling a first shaft to a second shaft includes an optical unit having a receiving element to receive electromagnetic radiation. A modifying unit modifies a radiant energy impinging on the receiving element as the first shaft runs asynchronously with respect to the second shaft. The modifying unit includes a holographic optical component designed for arrangement on and/or within the first shaft, and a diaphragm designed for arrangement on and/or within the second shaft and including radially arranged slots and radially arranged filled regions in an at least substantially regular sequence. The diaphragm includes an at least substantially centrally arranged opening. The holographic optical component is designed for illumination or irradiation with the electromagnetic radiation and generates a pattern having radially arranged areas with a first radiant energy and radially arranged areas with a second radiant energy in an at least substantially regular sequence.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jürgen Schimmer, Christoph Nolting, Dirk Scheibner, Jürgen Zettner

Patent number: 8898298Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for monitoring processes. A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a process-observer-enabled server, a communication from a non-process-observer-enabled server; translating at least event information in the communication from a non-process-observer-compatible format to a process-observer-compatible format; adding an event in the process-observer-compatible format to a process observer queue for subsequent processing by a process observer with other events. In a process observer, the events are processed from the process observer queue, application events are correlated with the defined a workflow/process model, and process instances are created in a process log.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Ranjit Alapati, Jens-Christoph Nolte

Patent number: 8600792Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for providing business process visibility at real time are described herein. One or more business activity events are received at a local business activity event manager. Further, business process binding information associated with the one or more business activity events is retrieved at the business activity manager from a business process model manager. A relationship of the one or more business activity events with a business process using the business process binding is identified at the business activity event manager. Upon determination, a business process log manager is triggered for logging a business activity log of a business process instance at real time. Furthermore, the business activity log is extracted to monitor and analyze the business process instance at real time.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Bernhard Drittler, Ralf Ehret, Jens-Christoph Nolte, Bernd Schmitt

Publication number: 20080190166Abstract: In one aspect a device to simplify, and to reduce the costs of, the error-protected detection of the measured values in the control unit, without reducing the error protection of the system is provided. The device includes a pick-up device for detecting measuring signals. Independently operating evaluation devices are provided for the redundant determination of measured values from the measuring signals of the pick-up device. The data is transmitted to the control unit by means of error-protected transmission devices. A first evaluation device is used to determine a measured value, and a second evaluation device is used to determine a less precise, coarse comparison value. The device is also used to establish the accuracy of the measured value by comparing the value with the comparison value.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2005Publication date: August 14, 2008Inventors: Ulrich Hahn, Andreas Kuhn, Christoph Nolting, Bernd Quaschner, Johannes Welker

Patent number: 7242182Abstract: A low-wear sensor with little structural outlay to detect a combined linear and rotational movement, such as in a print roller (10). In one embodiment, a PLCD (Permanent Magnetic Linear contactless Displacement) sensor includes a magnet (5) which can be rotated about a longitudinally extended coil (2). A ring magnet is particularly suitable for this. The linear position of the ring magnet can be determined independently of its rotational movement (7) by means of the voltage induced in coils (3,4). Detection of the linear position is contactless and thus wear-free.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2005Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Roland Finkler, Hans-Georg Köpken, Christoph Nolting, Günter Schwesig

Patent number: 6906513Abstract: A rotary motion detector includes an electrically conducting induction element formed essentially as a hollow cylinder and rotatable about a rotation axis. An excitation assembly applies an inhomogeneous magnetic field and induces an eddy current in the induction element, when the induction element rotates about the rotation axis. A sensor assembly detects a measurement signal that depends on the eddy current. The excitation assembly and the sensor assembly are both arranged radially inside the induction element.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Paul Dünisch, Roland Finkler, Andreas Kuhn, Christoph Nolting, Günter Schwesig
