Patent number: 10131369Abstract: A method and a system for diagnosing the operating state of one or more railroad components of a railroad network for rail transport. The railroad components each have at least a first measuring device for measuring first measurement values of at least one measurement variable for describing the operating state of the railroad component. The novel method includes the following steps: measuring the first measurement values by way of the first measuring device; measuring additional, second measurement values, which are independent of the operating state of the railroad components, by way of at least one additional, second measuring device; transmitting the measurement values to a control center situated along the tracks; evaluating the measurement values in the control center by way of a predefined algorithm, and providing at least one result of the evaluation as an output.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2013Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Erhard Fischer, Thomas Mueller, Frank Popp, Dirk Punstein, Christian Schulze, Ekkehard Toensing

Patent number: 8849732Abstract: Adaptive remote maintenance of rolling stocks is provided by machine-learning (28) of rules. Existing rules or models are automatically updated. Machine learning (28) is applied to establish a more efficient rule set. Rules may be replaced, generalized, or otherwise adapted based on interaction (26) by the dispatchers with the results of the current rules. The acceptance or discarding of an event by the dispatcher is used as a ground truth for supervised machine learning (28) of a new rule. The machine learning (28) uses user feedback to update the rule set.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2011Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ciprian Dan Raileanu, Mathaeus Dejori, Frank Popp, Ekkehard Toensing

Publication number: 20110060502Abstract: A motor vehicle is proposed having a ride level control device with a pneumatic lift system , with a ride level control unit, to which the operating parameters of the motor vehicle which are detected by sensors are fed. The ride level control unit is active if the ignition of the motor vehicle is switched on. Furthermore, when various conditions are met, the ride level control unit outputs a signal to the lift system so that the motor vehicle is raised. A bidirectional connection is present between the ride level control unit and the lift system in order to transmit feedback from the lift system to the ride level control unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicant: DR. ING. H.C. F. PORSCHE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Markus Atz, Thomas Hieber, Achim Schulz, Frank Poppe

Patent number: 4363334Abstract: A dressing comb extends longitudinally in a curler tube and has teeth adapted to protrude through a longitudinal slot of the curler tube. Advancing spring means are accommodated in said curler tube and urge said dressing comb to a position in which said teeth protrude from said slot. Said teeth are adapted to be entirely retracted into said curler tube against the force of said advancing spring means. A clamping comb is provided, which extends longitudinally in said curler tube and parallel to said dressing comb and has teeth adapted to protrude through said slot and is urged by said advancing spring means to a position in which the teeth of said clamping comb are adapted to be entirely retracted into said curler tube against the force of said advancing spring means.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1981Date of Patent: December 14, 1982Assignee: Forfex Alfred Popp Haarpflegegerate GmbHInventor: Frank Popp
