  • Patent number: 12559087
    Abstract: A power split hybrid transmission for a vehicle includes an internal combustion engine (ICE), a first electric motor, a second electric motor, a disconnect element and a controller. The ICE drives an output shaft that is rotatably coupled to a planetary carrier of a planetary gear set. The first electric motor is rotatably coupled to a sun gear of the planetary gear set and provides a first rotatable input to a transmission output shaft. The second electric motor is rotatably coupled to a counter gear that provides a second rotatable input to the transmission output shaft. The disconnect element selectively disconnects rotatable motion from the transmission output shaft to drive wheels. The controller determines whether the ICE, the first electric motor and the second electric motor are disconnected from the drive wheels and commands torque to the first and second electric motors to cooperatively rotate the transmission output shaft.

  • Patent number: 12485945
    Abstract: A rugged indoor/outdoor television cart has four large castors supported on four legs that extend upward from the castors and radially inward toward a base. Two vertical uprights are connected to the base. A bracket mounting system connects a television to the vertical uprights and enables an angle of television screen to be adjusted relative to the vertical uprights. Television mounting and stabilizing bars are provided that are connected to the bracket mounting system and have top and bottom claws to engage top and bottom edges of the television. The television mounting and stabilizing bars reduce the amount of stress from being transferred to the VESA mounting connection points on the interior of the television as the television cart is moved over uneven surfaces. A battery power system is optionally provided to provide power to the television when the television cart is not connected to an external source of power.

  • Publication number: 20230342633
    Abstract: A method includes inputting input data including data acquired during operation, and amending the input data with feature information. The input data is applied in a decision tree analytics model, with each leaf of the decision tree representing a machine state associated with a label giving information about feature values and operational conditions of the manufacturing system. Branches of the decision tree represent conjunctions of feature information that lead to the states and labels. At least one simulation model shows dependencies between the label and the input data, and one or more simulation models of the at least one simulations model replace at least one part of at least one of the branches of the tree.

  • Patent number: 11583946
    Abstract: A machine reaming tool includes a base body with a plurality of insert receivers with cutting inserts that are inserted therein. The cutting inserts are inserted into insert receivers that each form a linear guide of the cutting inserts in a direction orthogonal to a rotation axis of the machine reaming tool. The linear guide is a prismatic sliding guide such as a dovetail guide. In particular, the dovetail guide is designed asymmetrically.

  • Patent number: 8643941
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for gain measurement and control of a Distributed Raman Amplifier (DRA). Various embodiments of the apparatus include a detection unit operative to measure, during operation of the DRA, the optical power of a filtered component of the light entering the DRA from the transmission fiber and a gain calculation and control unit coupled to the detection unit and operative to calculate a signal Raman gain property from the measured optical power. The filtered component may exemplarily be a result of passing the light through a band pass filter, a spectral filter with a given spectral shape or a notch filter. The signal Raman gain property may be an average on-off signal Raman gain, an average net signal Raman gain or a signal Raman gain tilt within a communication band. The apparatus and method may be used to operate the DRA in Automatic Gain Control, i.e. to maintain a required constant signal Raman gain and/or signal Raman gain tilt.
