  • Patent number: 10100898
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper has a damper mass carrier at which is received at least one damper mass movable relative to the damper mass carrier and with at least one stop. The at least one damper mass has a stop side with a geometric shaping. At least one stop is associated with the damper mass, and has an axial overlap with the at least one damper mass in extension direction of a central axis and a stop profile at its side facing the stop side of the damper mass. At least one stop receiver is associated with the least one stop for the at least one damper mass. The geometric shaping which is provided at the at least one damper mass has a first contact region operative at least substantially in radial direction and a second contact region operative at least substantially in tangential direction. The first contact region can be brought into operative connection with the stop, and the second contact region can be brought into operative connection with the stop receiver.

  • Publication number: 20180232698
    Abstract: A computer processor may extract identity information from a document. The identity information may include at least one custodian identity attribute. After extracting the identity information, the computer processor may determine that the identity information is associated with a specific custodian. The computer processor may then search for the custodian identity attribute in a custodian directory to determine whether the custodian directory contains an entry for the custodian. If the custodian is not in the custodian directory, the computer processor may create a new entry in the custodian directory for the custodian and store the extracted identity information in the new entry.

  • Publication number: 20180216698
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper for damping a vibration component of a rotational movement around an axial direction has a damper mass to carry out an oscillation to damp the vibration component, a damper mass carrier to movably guide the damper mass, and a supporting body in contact with or can enter into contact with the damper mass in at least one operating situation of the torsional vibration damper. The supporting body is connected to the damper mass carrier to drive the supporting body relative to the damper mass carrier during rotation of the torsional vibration damper, and a support structure formed together with the supporting body to radially support the supporting body under a first operating condition and to radially release the supporting body under a second operating condition which differs from the first operating condition.

  • Publication number: 20180216697
    Abstract: A tuned mass damper for damping a vibration component of a rotational movement around an axial direction includes a damper mass configured to perform an oscillation to damp the vibration component, a damper mass carrier to movably guide the damper mass, and a supporting body in contact with or to enter into contact with the damper mass in at least one operating state of the tuned mass damper. The supporting body has a catch structure d the damper mass carrier has a catch aperture via which the supporting body is connected to the damper mass carrier to secure the supporting body relative to the damper mass carrier in axial direction.

  • Patent number: 9953023
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, carried out by one or more processors, for consolidating an index entry of a dictionary. In an embodiment, the method comprises the steps of receiving, by one or more processors, a set of parameters, wherein the set of parameters indicates at least a length of prefix and a length of hash value; receiving, by one or more processors, a first term for entry into an index; converting, by one or more processors, the first term for entry into the index according to the set of parameters; and responsive to determining the converted first term is not present in the index, storing, by one or more processors, the first converted term into the index.
