  • Patent number: 8289955
    Abstract: A robot control system has a connection module for a data network and includes a filter module configured to read data out of a data flow of a data network. The filter module identifies real-time data in the data network and extracts the real-time data as required. In addition, a method for directing data traffic in real time between a data system based on real-time and a network includes the steps of monitoring a data flow in the network for defined data using a filter module in the data system, extracting the defined data from the network, identifying real-time data in the defined data using an identification characteristic, and relaying the real-time data to a first receiving module.

  • Publication number: 20100017032
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for controlling a robot, with a robot control unit, and with a robot sensor such as a digital camera, which can be fitted on the robot and whose output signals can be supplied to an image recording unit. The output signals from the image recording unit connected to the camera can be supplied to an image processing device which is connected to the image recording unit. A coordinate transformation device is provided, in which the signals originating from the image processing unit and the robot control unit are processed and transformed into robot control signals, and the signals can be supplied back to the robot control unit.

  • Patent number: 7000450
    Abstract: In a method for measuring the injection quantity of injection systems, in particular for motor vehicles and in particular in production testing, an injection system injects a testing fluid into a measuring chamber. A detection device detects a movement of a piston, which at least partially defines the measuring chamber. This detection device generates a corresponding measurement signal. In order to increase the precision of the calculation of the injected testing fluid mass, the invention proposes that the pressure of the testing fluid in the measuring chamber be detected and that the measurement signal be processed taking into account the detected pressure.

  • Publication number: 20030177817
    Abstract: In a method for measuring the injection quantity of injection systems (32, 33), in particular for motor vehicles and in particular in production testing, an injection system (32, 33) injects a testing fluid into a measuring chamber (45). A detection device (68) detects a movement of a piston (40), which at least partially defines the measuring chamber (45). This detection device (68) generates a corresponding measurement signal (sm). In order to increase the precision of the calculation of the injected testing fluid mass, the invention proposes that the pressure (p) of the testing fluid in the measuring chamber (45) be detected and that the measurement signal (sm) be processed (80) taking into account the detected pressure (p).

  • Publication number: 20030150259
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for measuring the injection quantity of injection systems (32), in particular for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles and especially in production testing, includes a measurement chamber (45). A connecting device (28) is also provided, by which at least one injection system (32) can be made to communicate with the measurement chamber (45) in pressuretight fashion. A piston (40) is passed through a wall of the measurement chamber (45). A detection device (58) is also provided, with which a motion of the piston (40) can be detected. To increase the measurement accuracy of the apparatus (10), it is proposed that the detection device (58) function in noncontacting fashion.

  • Publication number: 20030145648
    Abstract: A device (10) serves to measure the injection quantity of injection systems (16), in particular for motor vehicles, and in particular in production testing. The device (10) includes a measuring chamber (14), and a coupling device by which at least one injection system (16) can be coupled to the measuring chamber (14) in pressureproof fashion. The device (10) further includes a piston (26), which is held displaceably in a guide device (18) and regionally defines the measuring chamber (14). Finally, a sensor (50) is also provided, which upon an injection by the injection system (16) detects a displacement of the piston (26). To increase the measurement precision, it is proposed that the piston (26) be at least essentially closed and be hollow in its interior.
