  • Publication number: 20240070354
    Abstract: Mechanisms are disclosed for modelling and quantitatively characterizing emissions inflows and outflows. Scoping inputs are received including a physical process defined scope of emission-producing physical inputs. Modeling inputs are received, including footprints associated with physical manufacturing inputs. The model energy flows may be provided via a graphical modeling user interface and support allocation rule definitions for distributing emissions footprint definitions. An estimated emission flow is calculated based on combined energy flows. The material flows may be derived from aggregated transaction data associated with emission-producing physical inputs. The calculated emission flow may be based on a calculated emission footprint at stages along a production process. Analytics user interfaces associated with the calculated emissions flows may provide insight into the highest emission producing emission drivers along the production chain in connection with a technical report.

  • Patent number: 8169298
    Abstract: The invention relates to a battery-operated electric hand tool device (2) comprising control electronics (14), a wirelessly and contactlessly responding transceiver (12), and a storage unit (16) in which an authorization code is stored, a locked mode of operation and a released mode of operation being distinguishable. In order to improve theft protection, a wire-bound or wireless interface (22) is provided from the control electronics (14) of the electric hand tool device to a battery pack (4) such that locking data can be transmitted from the control electronics (14) of the electric hand tool device (2) to the battery pack (4), be stored in a storage device (24) of the battery pack (4), and be read out of the storage device (24) again.

  • Patent number: 7570013
    Abstract: A rechargeable battery pack (20), in particular, for use with electrical hand tool devices, comprises a first and a second charging connection (24, 26), and a third control connection (28), all three being connectable to a charging device (46) for producing a charging connection, and with a calculating means (30) which can be addressed via an interface circuit (32), wherein the interface circuit uses the third control connection (28). In order to prevent destruction of the rechargeable battery pack due to erroneous charging, a non-linear component (34) is disposed in the interface circuit (32) which, upon control of the interface circuit (32) by the charging device (46), can be distinguished from an NTC component, thereby permitting detection of the rechargeable battery type when the calculating means (30) provides no identification information in response to control by the charging device (46).

  • Patent number: 7106458
    Abstract: A device for detecting edges of sheet-shaped print materials (1), especially of transparencies, that are moved along a transport path through a sheet-processing machine has a beam transmitter (31) and a beam receiver (32), whereby beam transmitter (31) and beam receiver (32) are mounted on different sides of the transport path in such a way that the beam path forms an acute angle to the surface of the sheet-shaped print material (1). Electronics (36) evaluate the beam received at the beam receiver (32), whereby the beam receiver (32) is at a lesser distance to the transport path in comparison to the beam transmitter (31).
