  • Patent number: 11587748
    Abstract: A high-voltage power switch, preferably with a dead tank design, contains: a switching unit that has a switching device and an actuation element that is axially movable in relation to a longitudinal axis of the switching device to actuate the switching device and a closing resistor unit that has a closing resistor arrangement and an adjusting element that is axially movable in relation to a longitudinal axis of this closing resistor arrangement to actuate the closing resistor arrangement. The actuation element is coupled to the adjusting element in order to move the latter. Accordingly, the longitudinal axis of the switching unit and the longitudinal axis of the closing resistor unit are spaced apart, and the actuation and adjusting elements are coupled by a coupling device of the high-voltage power switch.

  • Patent number: 11456124
    Abstract: A drive apparatus for an isolator switch includes a motor and a gear mechanism. The gear mechanism has a drive shaft which can be driven in two opposite directions of rotation by the motor and the gear mechanism has an output shaft. A load torque lock prevents transmission of a load torque which acts on the output shaft to the drive shaft in either direction of rotation. An isolator switch with a drive apparatus is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11455230
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating an event specific log file for a computer system. The generation comprises storing buffered log data in at least one memory buffer during an execution of one or more threads in real time. The generation further comprises receiving thread execution data. The generation further comprises inputting the thread execution data into an anomalous program event detector module configured to generate an anomalous program event signal in response to detecting an anomalous program execution event. The generation further comprises searching the buffered log data for event specific log data in the at least one memory buffer with a log dependency analyzer module in response to the anomalous program event signal. The method further comprises writing the event specific log data to an event specific log file using a log archive writer module.

  • Patent number: 11274710
    Abstract: A disc pack coupling for torque transmission between shafts has coupling discs. A locking unit is provided that maintains a contact pressure acting on the coupling discs when the disc pack coupling is closed. The locking unit has a locking part, a guide part, an actuating element, and a pressure element. The guide part is non-rotatably and non-displaceably arranged in relation to a first shaft. The locking part has a locking part axis and is rotatable about and displaceable axially relative to the locking part axis. Locking part and guide part are provided with interacting control surfaces positioned at a slant to a rotational direction of the locking part. The control surfaces are provided to move the locking part into a first and a second stop position. In the first stop position, the locking part maintains the contact pressure on the coupling discs.
