Publication number: 20240070354Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Jochen Mayerle, Astrid Graeber, Veit Spaegele, Raffael Lutz

Patent number: 7570013Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2006Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignees: Metabowerke GmbH, Friwo-Geraetebau GmbHInventors: Jochen Graeber, Georg Breuch
