Abstract: A method for enhancing data consumption is disclosed. An indication of an interest in an item of a data feed is received. One or more entities associated with the item are identified. Here, the entities are structures into which portions of the item are capable of being categorized. One or more data types of the one or more entities are identified. A template is selected from a set of templates based on the one or more data types. Here, each one of the set of templates specifies a visualization of information associated with the data item. A visualization is presented based on the template.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for evaluating an information retrieval system. A performance metric is associated with a message received at the information retrieval system. A geometric point is determined that corresponds to the message based on one or more clustering techniques. The message is assigned to a cluster based on a judgment of a distance between the geometric point and an additional geometric point, the additional geometric point corresponding to an additional message, the additional message being assigned to the cluster. The performance metric is aggregated with an additional performance metric, the additional performance metric corresponding to the additional message. A value is assigned to the cluster, the value representing a ranking of the cluster in comparison to an additional cluster with respect to the performance metric and the additional performance metric.

Abstract: A system architecture for communication between devices connected through a network including a hierarchy. Each device has at least one service for controlling and/or monitoring the device. At least one communication module enables a first device service to detect a second device, to detect a second device service, to retrieve information about functions of the second device service, arrange with the first device services and second device services into the hierarchy, wherein one of the devices is the parent of the other, generate messages with at least one device and transmit the messages to another device, wherein the information about functions and messages are received only by devices that have a same parent as one of the devices and by the parent of the devices, and to invoke a function of the second device service, wherein the devices are interchangeable at least to detect, to retrieve information and to invoke.

Abstract: A method for communication between a plurality of devices connected to each other through a network. Each device includes at least one service that provides a set of functions for controlling and/or monitoring the device. A service of a first device detects the presence of a second device, detects the presence of a service of the second device, retrieves information about the functions of the service of the second device, and invokes a function of the service of the second device. A system architecture for communication between the devices includes a communication module configured to enable a service of a first device to detect the presence of a second device, to detect the presence of a service of the second device, to retrieve information about the functions of the service of the second device and to invoke a function of the service of the second device.

Abstract: A method to control an industrial robot with a tool including at least one actuator. The industrial robot has at least one robot arm with a tool holder arranged on the arm. A contactless power supply is provided to the at least one actuator of the tool. Control signals are transmitted to and/or received from at least one wireless node including a radio communicator arranged on the tool. Radio technology is utilized that works in a high frequency band from 400 MHz and higher with significant interference suppression by spread spectrum technology.

Abstract: A process media transfer unit for an industrial robot including a first part for attachment to a first robot part, and a second part for attachment to a second robot part. The first and second parts being coaxially arranged about a common axis and separated by an airgap to provide an endless rotation relative to each other.

Abstract: A method for communication between a plurality of devices connected to each other through a network. Each device includes at least one service that provides a set of functions for controlling and/or monitoring the device. A service of a first device detects the presence of a second device, detects the presence of a service of the second device, retrieves information about the functions of the service of the second device, and invokes a function of the service of the second device. A system architecture for communication between the devices includes a communication module configured to enable a service of a first device to detect the presence of a second device, to detect the presence of a service of the second device, to retrieve information about the functions of the service of the second device and to invoke a function of the service of the second device.

Abstract: A robot or manipulator including a wireless power supply and a wireless communication device. One or more actuators on the robot tool may be wirelessly powered and wirelessly controlled. The robot tool may have one or more wireless communication members for transmission of data from sensors on the tool. The power supply includes a primary power supply member and secondary power supply member. Tool changes may be carried out automatically by the robot. In other aspects of the invention a method, a control system and a computer program for carrying out the method are described.

Abstract: A communication system that enables an operator to remotely query and control the process sections in an industrial plant by exchanging data with a central computer that controls the process sections. The operator communicates with the process sections through a mobile wireless device remotely connected with one of the multiple wireless access points on a data network. This data network is, in turn, connected to the central computer that controls these process sections. The central computer stores the location of the process sections and the operator profiles. When requested, it collates and processes this data and presents it to the operator. Further, if the need arises, the central computer tracks and interacts with the operator.

Abstract: The invention concerns a software development tool for embedded computer systems, and is based on a repository of configurable, pre-programmed software components, together with associated tools for user selection and configuration of the components and a code generator for extracting relevant source code based on the configuration settings. Each software component, called embedded system infrastructure component (ESIC), is a self-contained object comprising a modular code base and associated configuration structure related to an infrastructure function in a hardware-independent, non-operating-system software infrastructure for an embedded computer system. For each ESIC, the configuration tool enables user configuration of the infrastructure function based on the configuration structure of the ESIC to match the requirements of the target application. For each ESIC, the code generator utilizes the configuration settings to extract source code for the infrastructure as a subset of the modular code base.

Abstract: A device and method for adapting a turbine package, including a turbine and a frame (R), where the turbine includes an inlet bell mouth (1, 4, 8) and/or an exhaust bell mouth, and where there is a difference in length between two or more dissimilar models of turbines, so that the anchorage points (12, 13) of the bell mouth door (2, 5) or the plenum wall for the turbines do not correspond. The adaptation may, for example, be carried out either by extending the inlet bell mouth (8) of the shorter turbine, so that the anchorage points (12, 13) of the bell mouth doors (5, 10) of the two turbines correspond and by producing the frame sot hat the bell mouth door (10) is positioned in accordance with the corresponding anchorage points (12, 13), or by providing the bell mouth door with a conical section (24) having a length corresponding to the length difference between the turbines.
