Patent number: 10218290Abstract: An inverter has an inverter bridge connected between two DC busbars on the input side and connected to an AC output on the output side. The two DC busbars run, in a manner overlapping one another, in planes which are parallel to one another. The inverter bridge has a subcircuit having a plurality of semiconductor switches between the AC output and each DC busbar. Semiconductor modules which form the two subcircuits are connected, in a manner arranged beside one another, to the two DC busbars and to the AC output via connections. A connection element which leads to the AC output begins on that side of the DC busbar which faces the semiconductor modules in a region overlapped by the DC busbars and connects the semiconductor modules of the two subcircuits to one another there.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: SMA Solar Technology AGInventors: Karl Nesemann, Andreas Falk, Henning Schneider

Publication number: 20070168225Abstract: In a method, a system and a central control device for generation of a workflow for a medical treatment of a patient, the treatment is divided into treatment segments that are implemented on a number of instances. After the acquisition of a symptom list, a set of diagnostic questions is generated that are answered by responses. An optimized, case-specific workflow based on the symptom list is thereupon automatically generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2006Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: Sultan Haider, Michael Mankopf, Henning Schneider

Patent number: 6227091Abstract: A hook conveyor moves a succession of coils having outer turns through a trimming station in a transport direction with each coil lying at the station in a plane generally parallel to the direction. A trimming apparatus has a pair of supports flanking the conveyor at the station and each movable between outer and inner positions, respective guides on the supports defining respective vertical guide planes generally parallel to the direction, and respective shears movable on the guides long the respective guide planes. Respective actuators displace the shears along the respective planes and, in the inner positions of the respective supports, cut the outer turns from a coil in the station. Respective separating wedges are displaceable on the guides generally radially of the coil in the station to separate the respective outer turns from the coil.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1999Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Assignee: SMS Schloemann-Siemag AGInventors: Erich Grossmann, Henning Schneider
