  • Publication number: 20260143627
    Abstract: An in-rack cooling unit for cooling electrical equipment within a rack can include a casing having an air inlet, an air outlet, a top panel, and a bottom panel defining a longitudinal plane. A distance between the top panel and the bottom panel can define a height of the casing that is less than 6 rack units. The casing can further include a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A heat exchanger can be fluidly connected between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A fan can define a rotational axis that extends at a first oblique angle relative to the longitudinal plane, with the fan pulling air from the air inlet across the heat exchanger and discharging conditioned air through the air outlet in a direction different than the rotational axis.

  • Publication number: 20240400024
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a hydraulic pressure in at least one wheel brake of a hydraulic motor vehicle braking system, wherein a system pressure is generated by an electrical pressure supply device and, by control of an in particular normally open inlet valve, having an opening current characteristic curve, a required hydraulic pressure, which is lower than the system pressure, is set in the at least one wheel brake. In order to improve the pressure control, provision is made that the inlet valve is opened by application of an opening current, in particular below the opening current characteristic curve, and is switched over from the opening current to an intermediate current on the opening current characteristic curve.

The cabinet defines a front and rear portion, and includes lateral side panels and a front face. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet and fluid outlet. The heat exchanger is positioned at an oblique angle relative to the lateral side panels of the cabinet. The plurality of fan assemblies are mounted along the front face and further include a fan and blind mate connectors. The hot-swappable control module is positioned vertically above the plurality of fan assemblies. The hot-swappable control module includes a controller that is in electronic communication with the plurality of fan assemblies, and includes instructions stored within the controller to control a speed of the fans.

  • Patent number: 10315634
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for adapting a control strategy of a slip-control system of a brake system of a vehicle in a ?-split situation, in which different wheel-specific brake pressures, are set at opposite wheels of a vehicle axle. The resulting brake pressure difference is limited. In some examples, to generate a brake pressure request, a maximum pressure difference value deviating from a reference pressure difference with a predefined tolerance value is determined on a wheel-specific basis for the wheels lying opposite one another. The reference pressure difference corresponds to the value of the current low-pass-filtered brake pressure difference, and the brake pressure request for each wheel is determined as a minimum of the wheel-specific brake pressure determined from the control strategy of the slip-control system, and from the sum of the average brake pressure of the wheel lying opposite and the wheel-specific maximum pressure difference value.

  • Patent number: 10293797
    Abstract: A method for avoiding false excitations of a slip control system comprises monitoring of a wheel speed signal for a predefined first monitoring time period for the start of a negative half-wave of an oscillation applied to a vehicle wheel, when a brake pressure gradient initiated by a brake start rises above a predetermined threshold. A ruck signal is derived from the wheel speed signal. An acceration signal is derived from the wheel speed signal during a predetermined second monitoring period. The wheel speed signal is monitored for a turning point of the ruck signal and a start of the acceleration signal. The oscillation imposed on the vehicle wheel is identified as a braking-induced vibration, and slip control is not carried out when the turning point of the ruck signal and the re-acceleration of the wheel are detected.

  • Patent number: 9545023
    Abstract: A cabinet for housing electronic plug-in cards has front and rear card baskets for inserting plug-in cards and first and second vertical backplanes. The front side of the first backplane faces the front of the cabinet and the front side of the second backplane faces the back of the cabinet. A distance piece connects the two backplanes and a counterbore is disposed in at least one of the rear sides of the two backplanes. The depth of the counterbore or the residual thicknesses of the backplane after drilling the counterbore is sized such that the distance between the front side of the second backplane and the front of the cabinet is a predetermined value. This ensures that the plug-in cards pushed onto the second backplane are completely received inside the rear card basket and the front plate of the plug-in cards ends flush with the rear card basket.

  • Publication number: 20150150432
    Abstract: A domestic appliance includes a door configured to pivot about a horizontal axis of rotation so as to assume a substantially vertical position when closed to thereby close a treatment chamber. The axis of rotation is arranged behind a center of gravity of the door in a depthwise direction of the domestic appliance. When closed, the door is locked by a locking arrangement. A door weight compensation system damps an opening movement and/or assists a closing movement of the door and is configured to enable the door in an unlocked state to assume a partially open position, in which the door is open to some degree, substantially as a result of a weight-induced force exerted by the door.

  • Patent number: 8620556
    Abstract: A correction method in which characteristic curves and/or correction values are produced, by way of which the drive current for one or more electrically activated hydraulic values operated in an analog fashion is measured during a pressure regulation in such a way that, during the operation of an anti-lock regulation, one or a respective characteristic curve is first prescribed and then the prescribed characteristic curve is corrected, particularly in a learning process, wherein, after a pressure build-up phase, the current pressure model value (Pmod) is compared to and/or analyzed using a model locking pressure level (Pmax).

  • Patent number: 8453799
    Abstract: An actuator for a speed governor of an elevator system includes a governor wheel equipped with at least two flyweights. The governor wheel can be driven by a governor cable looped around it. An actuator wheel is stationary in a basic position. A coupler engages the actuator wheel when the governor wheel attains an actuation speed and thus couples with the governor wheel so that the actuator wheel is caused to rotate. An elastic material, preferably transmitting a high degree of friction, is provided between the coupler and the actuator wheel. The actuator wheel has a lining or tire of the elastic material and/or the coupler is equipped with the elastic material.

  • Patent number: 7832894
    Abstract: The invention relates to an illuminating device for microscopes, wherein the light source has, in particular, a white light illumination having total daylight spectrum and/or an excitation light source for fluorescent colors. The inventive illuminating device for a microscope consists of surface or spatially arranged light sources, which are connected to a control unit for generating any desired illuminating patterns and illuminating spectrums, and an illuminating optic to image these illuminating patterns on the object to be examined. The light sources consist of LEDs (11) which excite at least one luminescence color (14) which is adapted to the wavelength which is emitted by the LEDs (11). The LEDs (11) are arranged concentrically to the optical axis of the illuminating device, preferably, in or in the vicinity of the aperture diaphragm plane.
