  • Patent number: 10768597
    Abstract: To simplify and/or more flexibly implement a process control by means of a control device, a method is provided for process control in which at least one first and one second data processing module are executed by a control device during operation, wherein an operating program of the control device automatically implements an exchange of data between assigned data objects of the first and the second data processing module, and wherein the assignment between the data objects of the first and the second data processing modules is modified during operation of the control device in order to modify the process control. In addition, the control device is designed to carry out the method, as well as an operating program for such a control device, which can particularly be saved on a data storage device.

  • Patent number: 7603813
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of monitoring a door gap to determine whether a proper final closed position of doors exists after a closing of doors of rail vehicles, or other vehicles or elevators. The vehicles or elevators have at least one door leaf which is equipped on its main closing edge with an elastically deformable or elastically mounted profile. The position and/or shape of the profile is detected by electric, pneumatic, optical, inductive, capacitive or magnetic sensors or a combination of such sensors in connection with an electronic monitoring system which analyzes the signals of the sensors and, if applicable, determines the existence of the door gap. The method steps include closing the doors, activating the electronic monitoring system after the closing of the doors; monitoring the door gap and determining a final closed position of the doors by the electronic monitoring system.

  • Publication number: 20060070820
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for monitoring the door gap of doors used in rail vehicles, elevators or the like, comprising at least one door leaf whose main closing edge thereof is optionally provided with an elastically deformable or elastically mounted profile, and relates to a method for monitoring such a door gap. The invention is characterized in that the device is activated when each door leaf of the doors is located in a closed final position, and in that the monitoring is effected by pneumatic, optical, inductive, capacitive or magnetic sensors or by combinations of sensors of these types. In principle, these sensors measure a physical quantity that corresponds to the shape or position of the gap/profile and is compared to the quantity of the proper shape/position of the gap/profile.

  • Patent number: 4173119
    Abstract: A control system for a gas turbine engine, especially a vehicular gas turbine engine, having a speed governor responsive to a controlled variable which is the speed of a gas generator shaft for providing an output to control fuel flow to the engine, a temperature regulator device responsive to a controlled variable which is the gas temperature of the gas generator of the engine for providing an output to control the positioning of variable guide vanes of the engine, and a control arrangement for controlling the controlled variable and outputs of the speed governor and temperature regulator device as a function of the engine characteristics to ensure optimum engine operation.
