  • Publication number: 20250109257
    Abstract: The invention relates to a graft copolymer of the general structure B-(A)nm, consisting of blocks of the two polymers A and B, which have different chemical compositions. One of the polymers is a polycondensation polymer, selected from the group consisting of polycarbonates, polyester carbonates, polyesters, and polyamides, and the other polymer is a polymerisate of at least one vinyl monomer. The invention is characterized in that (i) the average molecular weight of the block of polymer B Mn(B) equals at least 13 kg/mol, determined by a combination of gel permeation chromatography and NMR spectroscopy, (ii) the number of side chains in the graft copolymer ns equals at least 3 and maximally 15, determined by NMR spectroscopy, (iii) the average molecular weight of the block of polymer A Mn(A) equals at least 1.5 kg/mol and maximally 15 kg/mol, determined by a combination of gel permeation chromatography and NMR spectroscopy, and (iv) ns multipled by Mn(A) equals at least 13 kg/mol.

  • Patent number: 11944036
    Abstract: A forage harvester with at least one work assembly is disclosed. The forage harvester has a corn cracker to process grain components and a driver assistance system. The driver assistance system controls the corn cracker by adjusting the machine parameters of the corn cracker. In particular, the driver assistance system has an optimization model which includes a multidimensional characteristic map that represents a relationship between a processing quality of the grain components and at least three parameters that comprise an input parameter representing a current harvesting process state and at least one machine parameter of the corn cracker as an output parameter. Thus, the driver assistance system determines the output parameter in the control routine during the harvesting process based on the varying input parameter from the optimization model and adjusts it in the corn cracker to achieve a uniform given processing quality of the grain components during the harvesting process.

  • Patent number: 11740561
    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system to produce a beam of radiation, a support to support a patterning device to impart a pattern on the beam, a projection system to project the patterned beam onto a substrate, and a metrology system that includes a radiation source to generate radiation, an optical element to direct the radiation toward a target, a detector to receive a first and second radiation scattered by the target and produce a first and second measurement respectively based on the received first and second radiation, and a controller. The controller determines a correction for the first measurement, an error between the correction for the first measurement and the first measurement, and a correction for the second measurement based on the correction for the first measurement, the second measurement, and the error. The lithographic apparatus uses the correction to adjust a position of a substrate.

  • Patent number: 8931751
    Abstract: The invention relates to a molding tool for the production of components composed of fiber composite materials, in which the molding tool has a fiber composite structure and an electrical resistance heating element, whereby carbon fibers or carbon filaments are embedded into the fiber composite structure of the molding tool in a plastic matrix, close to the shaping surface of the molding tool. Such a molding tool is further developed in that the carbon fibers or carbon filaments in the plastic matrix, close to the shaping surface, essentially determine the mechanical strength of the molding tool, and that the electrical resistance heating element is interconnected in such a manner that at least individual sections of the electrical resistance heating element form an electrical parallel circuit with one another.

  • Patent number: 7630690
    Abstract: A Node-B/base station has an access burst detector. The access burst detector comprises at least one antenna for receiving signals from users and a pool of reconfigurable correlators. Each correlator correlates an inputted access burst code at an inputted code phase with an inputted antenna output. An antenna controller selectively couples any output of the at least one antenna to an input of any of the correlators. A code controller provides to an input of each correlator an access burst code. The code controller controls the inputted code phase of each controller. A sorter/post processor sorts output energy levels of the correlators.

  • Patent number: 7092432
    Abstract: A Node-B/base station receiver comprises at least one antenna for receiving signals. Each finger of a pool of reconfigurable Rake fingers recovers a multipath component of a user and is assigned a code of the user, a code phase of the multipath component and an antenna of the at least one antenna. An antenna/Rake finger pool interface provides each finger of the Rake pool an output of the antenna assigned to that Rake finger. A combiner combines the recovered multipath components for a user to produce data of the user.

  • Patent number: 7082286
    Abstract: A Node-B/base station has a path searcher and at least one antenna for receiving signals from users. The path searcher comprises a set of correlators. Each correlator correlates an inputted user code with an inputted antenna output of the at least one antenna. An antenna controller selectively couples any output of the at least one antenna to an input of each correlator of the set of correlators. A code phase controller selects a user code for input into the set of correlators. Each delay of a series of delays delays the selected user code by a predetermined amount and each correlator of the set of correlators receives a different code phase delay of the selected user code. A sorter and path selector sorts the output energy levels of each correlator of the sets of correlators and produces a path profile for a user based on the sorted output energy levels.
