  • Patent number: 10040435
    Abstract: A method for braking a rail vehicle with a brake system includes providing an open-loop and/or closed-loop control device having a wheel slide protection control unit for ensuring a predefined coefficient of adhesion between the wheels of the rail vehicle and the rail, in which brake demand signals of different origin are taken into account by the open-loop and/or closed-loop control device. A slide protection function of the wheel slide protection control unit is deactivated for braking that is free of slide protection when at least two brake demand signals having different origin and having a brake demand which exceeds a specified deceleration limit, are present at the same time. A corresponding open-loop and/or closed-loop control device for a brake system and such a brake system are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100210001
    Abstract: The invention relates to a biomass cultivating installation (1) comprising a container (7) for receiving a solution containing biomass, at least one optical wave guide (8) guided in the container (7), for supplying light energy to the aqueous solution containing biomass, and a controllable light distributor (6) width is coupled to the optical wave guide (8) for the selective supply of light into selected regions of the container. The container (7) is split into segments comprising light radiation surfaces (9) that can be selectively coupled to the optical wave guide (5) by means of the light distributor (6). The optical wave guide (5) is coupled to a unit (3) for capturing sunlight and guiding the captured solar energy into the optical wave guide (5).
