  • Method for generating and handling applications for components of a distributed control system and engineering system for implementing the process
    Patent number: 9632494
    Abstract: A method and an engineering system for generating and handling component applications (CA1 . . . CAn) for physical components (C1 . . . Cn) such as a programmable control (Programmable Logic Control (PLC)), Human Machine Interface (HMI) and/or a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Unit (SCADA) of a control system (CA), in which instances (ICF1 . . . ICFn) of component functions (CF1 . . . CFn) for the components (C1 . . . Cn) are produced and from which the component applications (CA1 . . . CAn) are generated, the generated component applications (CA1 . . . CAn) being loaded to the physical components (C1 . . . Cn).

  • Automotive vehicle cast frame components
    Patent number: 6193273
    Abstract: An automotive vehicle frame has a front frame portion, a rear frame portion and an intermediate frame portion connecting the front frame portion and the rear frame portion. The front frame portion has a pair of relatively spaced front strut towers and the rear frame portion has a pair of relatively spaced rear strut towers. Each of the front strut towers and each of the rear strut towers may have a plurality of frame components connected thereto. Portions of the vehicle suspension system may be secured to the front strut towers and the rear strut towers. The strut towers may have vehicle shock absorbers secured thereto. Numerous other vehicle components may be secured to the strut towers. The strut towers are unitary metal castings.
