  • Patent number: 12365338
    Abstract: A method and device for longitudinal control of a vehicle as a function of a target trajectory, which specifies a series of target positions to be assumed by the vehicle over time. A controller actuating acceleration for trajectory control is determined based on an actual state of the vehicle. When the vehicle is following the target trajectory, a curvature of the target trajectory at a current position of the vehicle is determined from a local course of the target trajectory. Furthermore, when the vehicle is following the target trajectory, a longitudinal acceleration resulting from the target trajectory is determined as the current trajectory acceleration at the current position of the vehicle and the controller actuating acceleration is limited to a value that corresponds at most to a sum of the current trajectory acceleration and the acceleration offset. The vehicle is accelerated in accordance with the limited controller actuating acceleration.

  • Publication number: 20250033637
    Abstract: A method for the longitudinal control of a vehicle according to a target trajectory specifying a series of target positions to be adopted by the vehicle over time. Based on an actual status of the vehicle, a control acceleration is determined for the purpose of trajectory control, by which the vehicle is to be accelerated according to specifications of the target trajectory. Based on an actual speed of the vehicle and a predefined maximum speed which should not be exceeded when travelling the target trajectory, a control acceleration for the purpose of speed control is determined, by which the vehicle is to be accelerated in order to travel at the maximum speed. Both control accelerations are supplied to an arbiter which determines a resulting control acceleration from same, wherein the vehicle is accelerated according to the resulting control acceleration. A device for the longitudinal control of the vehicle is provided.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described in which proteins are isolated from complex solutions in high yield and at high purity. Such systems and methods are carried out at ambient temperature and can be carried out at industrial scale with minimal energy requirements and minimal carbon footprint, using successive chromatographic separations that retain the protein or proteins of interest in flow-through fractions. At least one of the chromatography media used is selected to be capable of interacting with both contaminants and the protein of interest, however capacity of this media is selected such that the protein of interest is displaced and remains in the flow-through. Methods for isolation of IgG, albumin, and both IgG and albumin are provided.

  • Patent number: 12191044
    Abstract: A method is for controlling a nuclear power plant comprising a pressurized water nuclear reactor. The method includes determining that an obtained waiting period and/or a remaining waiting period is greater than a first predetermined time allowing raising of a Xenon concentration to maximal value. The method further includes, responsive to the determination, moving one or more control rods out of the reactor core for compensating the reactivity loss due to an increase of the Xenon concentration, and moving the one or more control rods into the reactor core to a control rod setpoint for the start of power ramp up before the end of the obtained waiting period and/or remaining waiting period.

  • Publication number: 20250003115
    Abstract: A texturing device for producing crimped plastic filaments has a texturing nozzle with a hot compressed air supply port and a filament guide slot tube. A cooling mechanism in the form of a counter air flow mechanism is integrated in the texturing nozzle. A crimped plastic filament is formed by blowing a plastic filament through a nozzle insert in a conveying direction by hot compressed air and crimping in a filament guide slot tube. Then the crimped plastic filament is cooled by a counter air flow, which is cooler than the hot compressed air flow and which is directed onto the crimped plastic filament. A counter air flow slot tube is arranged between a cooling air supply port of the counter air flow mechanism and the filament guide slot tube. A pass-through nozzle is arranged between the counter air flow slot tube and the cooling air supply port.
