Patent number: 9837224Abstract: A load or a generator is connected to an energy line, e.g. a ring feeder of an energy distribution network by using a switching system. For this purpose, the switching system has a thyristor circuit, which is connected in parallel to a disconnect switch and connects the transformer of the switching system to an energy line. Thereby an efficient disconnect switch can be realized, which can be dimensioned depending on the power of the load or generator.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Joerg Bausch, Michael Heinz, Ronald Schmid

Patent number: 9335164Abstract: A device and a method for measuring thickness in horizontal strip casting installations for casting strip or sections. A measuring device measures the thickness of the liquid or pasty melt in the mold. The measuring device operates without contact by a laser and an optical sensor that are arranged so that the surface of the liquid or pasty melt is monitored, whereby the thickness distribution over an entire width of the melt is measured. A measuring signal is generated, and a control signal is generated based on the measuring signal in order to control a device for distributing the melt.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2008Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: SMS GROUP GMBHInventors: Jörg Bausch, Josef Karduck, Andreas Runge, Johannes Schwedmann, Jochen Wans, Karl-Heinz Spitzer, Hellfried Eichholz

Publication number: 20100132911Abstract: In the casting close-to-the final dimension of rectangular strands made of metal and the subsequent further processing thereof into metal strips according to the DSC method (direct strip casting) in a horizontal continuous casting installation the cast product (4) is deformed during the solidification thereof into the preliminary strip (5) due to uneven heat dissipation because the top of the strip is cooled only by convection of ambient air and by heat radiation, while the bottom of said strip is in direct contact with a cooled metal conveyor belt (7). In this manner, the initially complete contact between the cast product (4) and the metal conveyor belt (7) is lost and the strip edges of the cast product arch upwards.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2008Publication date: June 3, 2010Inventors: Joerg Bausch, Hans Juergen Hecken
