  • Patent number: 12037926
    Abstract: A rotor of a gas turbine having two adjacent rotor discs, on each of which moving blades are fastened, an annular rotor component being arranged between the rotor discs and having at its opposite ends circumferential annular grooves, in each of which a circumferential fastening projection on the respective rotor disc engages. When the rotor is stationary a first outer flank of the first annular groove rests under pressure against a first outer flank of the first fastening projection and there is play between a first inner flank of the first annular groove and a first inner flank of the first fastening projection.

  • Patent number: 11835199
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for marking luminaires, particularly traffic route luminaires, in a luminaire network, the network being controllable via a server. Each luminaire is provided, in its operational state, with a controller (2) for controlling its operation and a mark that is visually recognizable from the outside the luminaire. The mark is formed by an information storage medium (4), in particular, and can be used to identify the luminaire. The mark is linked to the controller (2) or to the luminaire to be controlled by the controller before the mark is added to the luminaire.

  • Patent number: 11231155
    Abstract: A method for controlling the light distribution of a traffic route luminaire in a network of luminaires, which is preferably also organized as a mesh network. The luminaire has a luminaire head having a settable light module and a controller while the light distribution of the luminaire is variable. The luminaire communicates luminaire data to at least one server, the luminaire data being luminaire-specific and related to the installation location of the luminaire. The data for a light distribution are automatically allocated to the luminaire and a setting of the light module is automatically effected on the basis of the data.

  • Patent number: 10347123
    Abstract: Method for controlling the light distribution of a traffic route luminaire (1) in a network of luminaires, which is preferably also organized as a mesh network. The luminaire has a luminaire head having a settable light module and a controller, the light distribution of the luminaire being variable. The luminaire communicates luminaire data to at least one server, the luminaire data being luminaire-specific and including the installation location of the luminaire. The method comprises the steps of: —automatically allocating a light distribution to the luminaire (1) in accordance with the communicated luminaire data; —automatically setting the light module on the basis of the allocated light distribution; and determining, by said at least one server, a light distribution class of the traffic route luminaire on the basis of a traffic route topology (2,3,4,5,6).

  • Patent number: 9935561
    Abstract: A power supply unit (1) that is to be connected to different types of power supply networks includes an input (2) to receive AC power from the power supply network and an output (3) for providing power to an electrical device. The electrical device may for example be a computer, a telecom infrastructure device, inductive cooking/heating systems or an on-board charger of an electrical automotive vehicle. The power supply unit (1) includes at least two converters (4) that are connected between the inputs (2) and the output (3) and it further includes a controllable switching arrangement (5). The switching arrangement (5) includes a number of controllable switches (6) to controllably connect the converters (4) in different configurations to the input (2) and therefore also controllably to different supply lines of the power supply network.

  • Patent number: 6917035
    Abstract: A covering for apertures of reaction receptacles formed in a microtitration plate, including a hermetic, elastically deforming mat or foil, a frame, and connecting elements. The mat or foil, upon planar deposition on the microtitration plate and following compression, seals the apertures. The connecting elements are fitted onto at least one of the mat or foil and frame and detachably secure the mat or foil to the frame while creating a tension in the mat or foil implementing the connection. The frame (11, 110) is dimensioned so as to permit the frame to be deposited on the microtitration plate (13), such that the mat (12, 120) or foil rests in a planar manner on the microtitration plate, and such that the frame is accessible from above to a pressure and/or heat applying device.

  • Publication number: 20050031189
    Abstract: A method for the inspection of features of semiconductor substrates is disclosed. Once an image of a semiconductor substrate has been acquired, ROIs are allocated to pattern elements. Various parameters for evaluation of the acquired image of the semiconductor substrate are assigned to the ROIs. The ROI assigned to one pattern element of the semiconductor substrate is automatically transferred to corresponding pattern elements of the semiconductor substrate in the other elements.
