  • Patent number: 11396068
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing a rotating disk for a turbomachine, forming blade root uptakes on a plurality of circumferential positions, for which, in each case, an axially extending profile groove that is bounded circumferentially by inner wall surfaces of the rotating disk is introduced on a respective circumferential position, in which production method, initially first profile grooves are introduced in a disk on first circumferential positions, and subsequently, a second profile groove is introduced in the disk on a second circumferential position located circumferentially between the first profile grooves.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8874362
    Abstract: A method for determining the location of a vehicle using a GPS receiver (9) and a predefinable coordinate system, in particular a city map, a map, a nautical chart or the like, comprises the following method steps: determination of the GPS coordinates by means of a GPS receiver or some other suitable method, for example Gallileo, beacon, etc., projection of the determined coordinates onto the coordinate system and correction of the GPS coordinates or the projected coordinates in the sense of compound navigation. A corresponding device is specified.

  • Patent number: 5317798
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing box ladders having a pair of side rails and rungs wherein each of the side rails are assembled from a pair of section members having holes pre-formed prior to assembly of the side rail. The method provides reduced deformation in the manufacture of box ladders having cylindrical rungs and provides for the manufacture of box ladders having non-cylindrical shaped rungs.
