  • Patent number: 9533428
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a tower segment of a concrete tower of a wind energy installation, comprising the steps: providing a segment mold having at least one formwork for defining a mold of the tower segment that is to be produced and for filling with concrete; filling the segment mold with concrete in order to form the tower segment by the subsequent hardening of the concrete; measuring the tower segment thus hardened for creating a three-dimensional, virtual actual model of said tower segment; producing said three-dimensional actual model; comparing the three-dimensional actual model with a predefined mold, in particular a stored three-dimensional, virtual target model; and determining a deviation between both virtual models and changing the segment mold, in particular changing the at least one formwork when the deviation exceeds a first predefined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 8533727
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for analysing the real-time capability of a system, in particular a computer system, where various tasks are provided, wherein the tasks are repeatedly performed and wherein an execution of a task is triggered by an activation of the task and this represents an event of the task, wherein a plurality of descriptive elements are provided to describe the time correlation of the events as event stream, wherein the event streams may detect the maximum time densities of the events and/or the minimum time densities of the events, and wherein at least a further descriptive element to which an amount of event streams is assigned and which describes the time correlation of an entirety of events which are captured by at least two event streams.

  • Patent number: 8306784
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium for a real time analysis of a computer system performs a method of describing an occurrence pattern, for which a set of tasks is provided. The tasks are partially repeatedly requested by the system and processed or repeatedly generate events by requests to partial components of the system. An occurrence pattern of the events requesting the tasks or events generated by the task during the real-time analysis is represented by a description of event densities. The description includes a set of elements describing a portion of the occurrence pattern of the events. At least two elements for the description of the part of the occurrence pattern include a further set of elements providing a plurality of hierarchical levels. The further sets and thus the part of the occurrence pattern described by the further sets differ from each other.

  • Patent number: 8185900
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the real-time analysis of a system, especially a technical system, which is to process tasks (?). A job that is defined by processing of a task (?) generates system expenses. In order to create a particularly quick and accurate method, an approximation of the method is cancelled when it is considered that an interval (I, I?, I?n?) cannot be processed in real time, the system expenses being taken into account instead of the approximate value for at least one job of a task (?).

  • Patent number: 8010592
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for testing the real-time capacity of a system, especially a computer system, according to which a quantity of different tasks (?) is to be executed, system costs being incurred by the execution of each task (?). The aim of the invention is to provide an especially rapid and accurate method. To this end, in order to determine the total costs (Dbi(I)) for at least one time interval (I), the actual system costs (Dbi(I)) of the job of a first task are taken into account for said at least one first task, the actual system costs (Dbi(I)) of at least two jobs of the first task are taken into account for at least one first task, and other system costs are taken into account for at least one second task. The other system costs are determined by an approximation based on the actual system costs (Dbi(I)).

  • Publication number: 20100017168
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for analyzing, especially in real time, a system, particularly a computer system, which comprises a set of different tasks (?). At least some of the tasks (?n) are requested and processed in a repetitive manner by the system or repeatedly generate requests to partial system components (events). The occurrence pattern of the events that request the tasks or are generated by the task are represented at least in part by a description during the analysis, said description being composed of a set of elements, each of which describes the occurrence pattern of events. The inventive method is characterized that a set of not necessarily uniform elements is used once again with at least two elements for describing the occurrence pattern represented by said at least two elements, while said sets of elements, and thus the occurrence pattern described thereby, are different from each other.
