  • Patent number: 11352060
    Abstract: A method and a device generate haptic feedback for a vehicle driver, the haptic feedback being generated by applying an additional torque, which alternates about an average total steering torque, to a steering grip of a vehicle by way of an actuator. When the present haptic feedback is recognized and/or simultaneously when haptic feedback occurs, the actuator is actuated such that the magnitude of the average total steering torque is increased by a compensation torque.

  • Patent number: 10549770
    Abstract: A method for steering a vehicle, wherein forces for steering wheels are generated by a steering torque. The steering torque is applied by a mechanical steering system and/or a steering actuator. The method includes in the automatic phase: automatic steering of the vehicle, where a control unit calculates an automatic torque and actuates the steering actuator so that the steering torque corresponds to the automatic torque. During the engagement phase when a manual torque applied to the steering wheel by the driver is detected, the method includes maintaining the calculated automatic torque as a steering torque by ignoring or compensating the manual torque until the manual torque has exceeded a defined threshold torque greater than zero. During a transfer phase, the method includes reducing the automatic torque after exceeding the threshold torque, wherein the steering torque corresponds to the sum of the manual torque and automatic torque.

  • Publication number: 20160127466
    Abstract: An automated content extraction, transformation, and load (ETL) system extracts content from a source content system, transforms the content, loads the transformed content into a specific target system, and then allows a content consumer to search, request, and receive content data without communicating with the source content system. The system may retrieve content data of any type from one or more content delivery management (CMS) repositories using CMS connectors. The system then may extract content from the retrieved content items and may provide the extracted content items to a search platform for indexing. The system may extract the one or more content assets and store the extracted assets into a content delivery network (CDN), for example without communicating or accessing any of the CMS repositories.

  • Patent number: 7722740
    Abstract: A modular construction micro-reactor with parallel microchannels on fluid guide plates for chemical reactions, but not for evaporation purposes is known. A modular construction falling film evaporator is disclosed, comprising a stack of alternate gap-like evaporation chambers and sheet-like evaporator modules with an assembly of parallel microchannels, whereby the evaporation chambers are open above and/or below across the whole width of the module and the stack is arranged in a container. The falling film evaporator is used in a method for obtaining a gaseous phase from a liquid medium on a technical scale and is suitable for the concentration of thermolabile solutions and rapidly adjustable production of a gas stream.

  • Patent number: 5308585
    Abstract: Hot solids coming from a fluidized bed reactor are passed through the cooling apparatus and at least in part are recycled to the fluidized bed reactor. In the cooling apparatus the hot solids flow first through a first fluidized bed and then flow downwardly through a gas-collecting space to a second fluidized bed, which is provided with cooling coils and in which the solids flow downwardly to a solids transfer passage and are then raised through a third fluidized bed to a discharge line. The system is controlled to cause solids coming from the first fluidized bed to flow through the gas-collecting space directly to the discharge line.
