Patent number: 9891907Abstract: Device component status detection and illustration apparatuses, methods, and systems determine and generate visualizations of updates timelines indicating device components associated with a remote connected device at different times. A device component status detection and illustration apparatus may include a memory and processor with instructions to: obtain device selection parameters, determine one or more remote connected devices that satisfy the device selection parameters, and identify a remote connected device selected from one or more remote connected devices by a user. The instructions may further be executed to generate visualizations of updates timelines associated with the remote connected device, including information regarding device components associated with the identified remote connected device as of selected update times. This allows the apparatus to present information regarding the status of a particular device at different points in time.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Harman Connected Services, Inc.Inventors: Mark Douglas Searle, Owen James Griffin, Robert Franz Klaus Kempf

Patent number: 9747096Abstract: The Remote Embedded Device Update Platform Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“REDUP”) transforms telemetry inputs via REDUP components into remote embedded updates outputs. The REDUP may include a memory and processor with instructions to: obtain a remote embedded device connection request message from a remote embedded device and analyze the message to determine a version of embedded instructions on the remote embedded device. With that, the REDUP may determine if other remote embedded devices similar to the remote embedded device have provided request messages by searching a remote embedded device connection request message database. This allows the REDUP to determine if a potential issue requiring updates on the remote embedded device exists. With that, the REDUP may determine and provide an update for the remote embedded device.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Harman Connected Services, Inc.Inventors: Mark Douglas Searle, Owen James Griffin, Robert Franz Klaus Kempf

Patent number: 5163812Abstract: A rotary impeller pump having a permanent magnetic drive is disclosed. An impeller disposed on a rotating shaft which is supported by a bearing assembly within a housing assembly. The bearing assembly is supported by a fixed ring assembly having a channel disposed therethrough, with one open end of the channel terminating above and adjacent the bearing assembly. A scoop wheel is disposed to rotate with the impeller and shaft. The scoop wheel raises fluid from a location below the bearing assembly to a location above the bearing assembly and adjacent a second open end of the channel. During normal operation, the housing assembly is substantially filled with the fluid medium to be pumped, and the fluid medium provides lubrication and cooling for the bearing assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1990Date of Patent: November 17, 1992Assignee: Franz Klaus Union Armaturen, Pumpen GmbH & Co.Inventor: Franz Klaus

Patent number: 4998863Abstract: A magnetic pump drive comprises a double-walled isolating shell having an inner shell and an outer shell. The inner shell and the outer shell are in contact at least along a cylindrical section of both shells. In the contact area, a channel system is incorporated between the shells by means of which channels the intactness of both shells may be checked. Channels of the channel system have the shape of a screw-channel. The magnetic pump drive so constructed closely approximates the characteristics of one constructed with a unitary thick-walled isolation shell.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1988Date of Patent: March 12, 1991Assignee: Franz Klaus Union Armaturen Pumpen GmbH & Co.Inventor: Franz Klaus

Patent number: 4869654Abstract: A magnetic pump drive comprises an isolating shell which is structured in the form of a stepped cylinder having at least one step for creating at least two cylindrical sections of different diameters. The efficiency of the power transmission of a driver carrying permanent magnets through the isolating shell onto a rotor also carrying permanent magnets is maintained in comparison with the efficiency of known devices, but the strength and form stability of the isolating shell is drastically improved. The strength against high system pressures is based on the steps which may comprise slipped-over rings or comprise integral reinforcement rings which act like barrel hoops.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1988Date of Patent: September 26, 1989Assignee: Franz Klaus Union Armaturen Pumpen GmbH & Co.Inventor: Franz Klaus

Patent number: 4600821Abstract: The invention relates to a unit and a plant with such a unit as part thereof, based on the use of eddy currents for turning mechanical energy into heat energy for heating a fluid. The unit has a driver with at least one permanent magnet and is mechanically driven and takes effect on a rotor placed on the other side of a separating wall. The rotor is fitted with at least one permanent magnet and is turned by the magnetic attraction. The magnetic field, turning in relation to the separating wall, is at the same time responsible for causing eddy currents in the wall and for this reason for the production of heat which is given up to the fluid. In a preferred form of the invention, the rotor side of the unit is completely encapsuled and only one side of the separating wall is acted upon by the fluid so that even fluids that are strong or unstable chemicals may be heated.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1983Date of Patent: July 15, 1986Assignee: Franz Klaus Union Armaturen Pumpen GmbH & Co.Inventors: Hans E. Fichtner, Franz Klaus

Patent number: 4120618Abstract: A glandless permanent magnetic centrifugal pump designed for a power input of about 10kW or more and a delivery head of between 2 and 10 bars having a pump casing containing an impeller assembly connected to an inner rotor journalled in the pump casing and carrying permanent bar magnets disposed parallel to the rotor axis via which it is driven magnetically by an outer motor-driven rotor generating a rotating magnetic field passing through an air gap which circumferentially surrounds the inner rotor and in which a gap tube extends around the inner rotor and is fixed to the pump housing to glandlessly close the interior thereof in a fluid-tight manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1976Date of Patent: October 17, 1978Inventor: Franz Klaus

Patent number: 4082380Abstract: An axial thrust sliding bearing is provided for a shaft-driven centrifugal fluid handling machine which provides non-contact accommodation of axial thrust loads, self-pressurized lubrication, and improved wear resistance. A shaft is journaled within a stationary bearing support sleeve and has an opposed bearing ring disc secured to the shaft for rotation therewith. The sleeve and the disc each have spaced apart, facing front end surfaces angled with respct to the axial center line of the shaft so that during rotation of the shaft and of the bearing ring disc secured thereto, the front end surface of the bearing ring disc is moved toward and away from a fixed point on the front end surface of the stationary bearing support sleeve, thereby providing a pumping action on a lubricating fluid contained between the two surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1976Date of Patent: April 4, 1978Assignee: SAID Franz Klaus, by said Franz Johann PotrykusInventors: Franz Klaus, Franz Johann Potrykus
