Patent number: 9498913Abstract: The method and the device are used to produce filled containers. A preform (2) made of a thermoplastic material is first subjected to thermal conditioning in the area of a heating section along a transport path. Then the preform (2) is shaped into the container (11) inside a mold by applying pressure. A filling medium (21) with which the container is to be filled is used as the fluid for forming the container. The preform (2) is guided at least intermittently while the preform is shaped into the container (11).Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignees: KHS GMBH, KHS CORPOPLAST GMBHInventors: Frank Haesendonckx, Dieter Klatt, Thomas Von Hamme, Rolf Baumgarte, Harald Rieger, Lothar Wilhelm, Thomas Stolte

Patent number: 9404447Abstract: A cooler for an internal combustion engine may include a cooler block including a gas path for communicating a gas flow along a gas flow direction and a coolant path for communicating a coolant flow. The gas path and the coolant path may be thermally coupled to each other and may be fluidly separated from each other. The cooler may include a liquid separator for separating a liquid from the gas flow. The liquid separator may be arranged on the cooler block at an outlet side of the gas path. The liquid separator may include a reservoir for the separated liquid and an evaporator for evaporating the separated liquid.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Mahle International GmbHInventors: Harald Rieger, Hartmut Sauter, Hartmut Sohla

Patent number: 9275366Abstract: Example systems and methods of extracting and processing data are described. In one implementation, a method accesses genealogy data (which includes a root node) associated with multiple data sources. The genealogy data is expanded from the root node. The method identifies data objects associated with the genealogy data and identifies a simplification rule to apply to the genealogy data. Data objects in the genealogy data that satisfy the simplification rule are identified by the method. A simplified representation of the genealogy data is generated by replacing each identified data object with a link to a predecessor data object.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Karl Christian Roediger, Stefan Siebert, Jan Aalmink, Martin Wolff, Martina Lutz, Harald Rieger, Juergen Wettengl, Carmen Peter, Martin Zieger, Gregor Rleken

Patent number: 9254343Abstract: The method and the device according to the invention are used to sterilize preforms (1) made of a thermoplastic material that are intended for producing blow-molded containers. During the sterilization, a sterilizing agent is introduced into the area of the preform (1). The sterilizing agent is discharged at least partially from at least one nozzle (44) in the direction of the preform (1). An average direction (45) of the escape of the sterilizing agent from the nozzle (44) is provided with an angle of inclination (46) from a longitudinal axis (47) of the preform (1).Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignees: KHS CORPOPLAST GMBH, KHS GMBHInventors: Thomas Herold, Harald Rieger, Dieter Klatt, Frank Haesendonckx

Publication number: 20130328248Abstract: A method and device for producing blow-molded containers, at least some regions of which are sterile. A parsion made of thermoplastic material is first heated and then exposed to a pressurized fluid. A sterilization means is introduced into an area of the parison. Sterilization is carried out at a sterilization site a spatial distance away from a blowing unit, which shapes the parison. Instead of maintaining the entire area of the blowing device as a sterile space, the parison is transported from the sterilization site to the blowing unit at least along a portion of a transport path along a sterile channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2011Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: KHS CORPOPLAST GMBHInventors: Thomas Herold, Harald Rieger, Dieter Klatt, Martin Gehards
