  • Publication number: 20190162292
    Abstract: A planetary gearing includes a sun gear rotating about a rotation axis and driven by a sun shaft; planet gears driven by the sun gear, each planet gear having an axially forward face side and an axially rearward face side; a ring gear engaging the planet gears; and planet slide bearing pins, wherein respectively one planet slide bearing pin is arranged inside a planet gear forming a lubricated journal bearing. At an axially forward face side and/or axially rearward face side, each planet gear forms a recess that extends inside the planet gear starting from the face side, and the planet slide bearing pins respectively form one crowning at their abutment surface such that their outer diameter decreases from a maximum outer diameter to at least an axial end of the abutment surface and has a minimum at the axial end.

  • Publication number: 20190162294
    Abstract: A planetary gearing includes a sun gear rotating about a rotation axis and driven by a sun shaft; planet gears driven by the sun gear; a ring gear engaging the planet gears; and a plurality of planet pins that respectively include an outer-side abutment surface having an axially forward end and an axially rearward end. Respectively, one planet pin is arranged inside a planet gear, and the planet pin and the planet gear form a lubricated journal bearing. At an axially forward face side and/or axially rearward face side, each planet gear forms a recess that extends inside the planet gear starting from the face side. The planet pins respectively form a crowning at their abutment surface such that their outer diameter decreases from a maximum outer diameter towards at least one axial end of the abutment surface, and has a minimum at the axial end.

  • Patent number: 8850390
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing status management for phased implementation of configuration changes. One process includes operations for receiving a selection for a modular software solution and identifying a partial implementation of the modular software solution comprising a subset of the plurality of model entities included in the modular software solution. After the model entities in the subset are activated, a particular model entity is identified to add to the partial implementation. A temporary phase-in state is assigned to the particular model entity, the temporary phase-in state providing an indication to at least one configuration service to perform at least one pre-activation task for the particular model entity. The particular model entity is activated after the pre-activation task is completed.

  • Publication number: 20140232670
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product operate a touch-screen device. A first touch on a touch-screen is detected, and a character is selected therefrom. A second touch on the touch-screen is detected, and a diacritic is selected therefrom. A location of the second touch on the touch-screen is determined. A location for the diacritic is selected according to a determined location of the second touch on the touch-screen. A specific touch-screen output of a selected character and a selected diacritic is then generated, where the selected diacritic is located on the selected character according to a selected diacritic location.
