  • Publication number: 20240405903
    Abstract: The process of an electronic device changing the amplitude or power of transmitted Electromagnetic Waves (EMW), as used with wireless devices, is in response to information that the electronic device that received the EMW sends to the electronic device that transmitted the EMW. The electronic device that receives EMWs determines the quality of the EMW received and conveys this information back to the electronic device that transmitted the EMW, so that the electronic device that transmits EMWs can adjust the amplitude or power of the EMW(s) in order to optimize the wireless communication between the electronic devices.

  • Publication number: 20220085672
    Abstract: A rotor (3a . . . 3c) for an electrical machine (1) is described which comprises several rotor segments (10a . . . 10c, 10a?, 10a?, 10 . . . 10??) which are arranged successively along the rotational axis (x) of the rotor (3a . . . 3c) and each comprise a rotor plate (11) or several rotor plates (11). Magnetic poles (A . . . D) of two adjacent rotor segments (10a . . . 10c, 10a?, 10a?, 10 . . . 10??) are twisted relative to one another around the rotational axis (x) of the rotor (3a . . . 3c) by a staggering angle (?), wherein the staggering angle (?) is smaller than a polar angle (?) lying between two magnetic poles (A . . . D) of a rotor segment (10a . . . 10c, 10a?, 10a?, 10 . . . 10??). The rotor (3a . . . 3c) comprises at least two first cutouts (12) which are arranged on a first hole circle (L1) around the rotational axis (x) of the rotor (3a . . . 3c) and are each twisted relative to one another by an angle (?) which corresponds to the polar angle (?) minus or plus the staggering angle (?).

  • Publication number: 20100180982
    Abstract: The silo safety system implements safety logic for silo opening gates by utilizing light sensors connected to a programmable logic controller or equivalent configuration of relay contact switches. Photodetection sensors and their associated light transmitters are placed on opposing lateral sides along a truck passageway under the silos where the tail, middle, and front of a truck are presupposed to be. When a truck pulls under the silos, system logic uses the resultant pattern of beam breaks to prevent the silo gates from opening unless the truck cab is clear from the silo that the truck is supposed to be under. For two or more silos, the system enables only the correct silo, while the other silos are disabled. The silo that the truck is under can then only be energized by the silo control operator. The control logic can have a default configuration for a predetermined truck size.

  • Publication number: 20070183346
    Abstract: A mobile router is configured for attaching to a selected router in a clustered network (e.g., a mobile ad hoc network) based on identifying a network topology model of the clustered network from received router advertisement messages that include tree information option fields specifying attributes of the network topology model. The mobile router selects which router advertisement originator to attach to based on correlating the attributes of the router advertisement originators relative to identified priorities, and orders the router advertisement originators within a default router list based on the identified priorities. If the mobile router detects a router from a second clustered network, the mobile router advertises to the attachment router that the second clustered network is reachable, enabling the two clustered networks to communicate using a point-to-point link between the respective attachment routers.

  • Publication number: 20030055495
    Abstract: Expandable heart valves for minimally invasive valve replacement surgeries are disclosed. The valves are rolled into a first, contracted configuration for minimally invasive delivery using a catheter, and then unrolled or unfurled at the implantation site. One- and two-piece stents may be used in conjunction with a plurality of flexible leaflet-forming membranes. The stents may include an annulus section, a sinus section with the membranes attached over sinus apertures, and an outflow section. Lockout tabs and making slots secure the stents in their expanded shapes. Alignment structure ensures concentric unfurling of the stent. Anchoring elements at the stent edges or in the stent body secure the valve within the annulus. A method of manufacture includes shape setting the sheet-like stent to ensure an outward bias during deployment. The stent may also include dear tracks for engagement with a gear mechanism for deployment.
