  • Patent number: 11872972
    Abstract: A method for setting a working point of a slip controller for a wheel of a vehicle. Upon activating the slip controller, a torque at the wheel is controlled on the basis of the working point using a slip at the wheel, wherein the torque is monitored and a value of the working point is set to a previous value of the torque if the slip satisfies a condition.

  • Patent number: 11851042
    Abstract: A method for controlling slip of at least one wheel of a vehicle. In the method, at least one parameter of an action to be performed is read out from a matrix using a slip state of the wheel if the slip state is outside a target slip region of the matrix, wherein, for reading this out, a data field of the matrix associated with the slip state is determined and the at least one parameter is read out from the data field, wherein, for performing the action, at least one actuator of the vehicle is actuated using the parameter.

  • Publication number: 20230118756
    Abstract: A method for controlling a torque of at least one wheel of a mobile platform. The method includes: providing at least one current slip value of the wheel and at least one current wheel acceleration of the wheel as input values; providing a trained radial basis function network designed to determine, by means of the input values, at least one torque change as an output value for control of the at least one wheel; and determining a current torque change, by means of the trained radial basis function network and the provided input values, for control of the torque.

  • Patent number: 9018565
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing holes in dielectric workpieces in the form of thin sheets and substrates, in particular of glass or glass-like materials and semiconductors is provided. The apparatus includes individual high-voltage electrodes that are symmetrically arranged on an electrode holder around the hole to be produced in the workpiece. The apparatus also includes individual counter electrodes that are arranged on a counter electrode holder. The electrodes and counter electrodes can be connected in a permutating manner to a high-voltage source for the discharge of high-voltage flashovers.

  • Patent number: 7412849
    Abstract: The device for blank pressing glass bodies includes a first rotary indexing table with preforms for forming parisons from glass gobs; a second rotary indexing table having pressing molds and pressing tools for pressing the parisons into final form after formation in the preforms; and a device for shifting the first rotary indexing table relative to the second rotary indexing table so that each preform is positionable in a transfer position between a pressing tool and a pressing mold. Each preform is mounted on the first rotary indexing table by a indexable mount for holding it in a first horizontal position or in a second position pivoted away from the first position, so that, when a preform is in the transfer position, the indexable mount can be pivoted, so that a parison in it drops into the pressing mold for pressing by the pressing tool.

  • Publication number: 20040206123
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for the forming of bodies (2) made from glass or glass ceramic in order to produce a three-dimensional end product. A short-wave IR radiation (3) is thus used, furthermore a mould (1) for forming a three-dimensional body (2) made from glass or glass ceramic. According to the invention, the mould (1) is made from a material with a high reflectivity and a high degree of remission thus cooling the mould (1).
