SYSTEM, METHOD, AND TEMPLATE FOR MANAGING VIRTUAL CONTROL UNITS IN AN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION FACILITY
Publication number: 20240111268Abstract: A system, template, and method of managing virtual control units in an industrial automation facility are provided. The industrial automation facility includes machines. The method includes generating templates including deployment criteria for the virtual control units. Each of the virtual control units is capable of controlling at least one of the machines. The virtual control units are mapped to one or more compute nodes based on the deployment criteria. The virtual control units are instantiated on the mapped compute nodes when the controlled machines are in operation. The method includes validating that the instantiation of the virtual control units is in accordance with the templates using an attestation that confirms determined deployment parameters after deployment of the virtual control units. The machines perform the industrial process, according to control commands received from at least one of the virtual control units, when the virtual control units are validly instantiated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Rainer Falk, Stefan Becker, Christian Peter Feist, Klaus-Peter Hofmann -
Publication number: 20240092828Abstract: Systems are provided for isolation of a protein, such as immunoglobulin G (IgG), from plasma, where the protein is initially fractioned by salt precipitation, followed by successive ion exchange steps in which the protein appears in unbound, flow-through fractions of the ion exchange steps. Some embodiments employ successive anion exchange steps. Other embodiments employ an anion exchange step followed by application of flow-through of the anion exchange step to a cation exchange step, with the protein collected in flow-through fractions from the cation exchange step. IgG is collected at high yield (typically about 75% or greater) and high purity. Avoidance of binding and elution from chromatography media simplifies processing and scale up without sacrificing IgG quality or yield.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Eugene Zurlo, Dennis Curtin, Klaus Peter Radtke, Ryan Dorfman, Matthew Whelihan

Publication number: 20240033818Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a cooling chamber in a strand guide device and the strand guide device 10 as such. The strand guide device serves to deflect a freshly cast strand, typically made of metal, into the horizontal. During the deflection, the cast strand passes through a cooling chamber 1 inside the strand guide device 2, in which it is sprayed with a coolant 33, with the formation of steam 5. The steam forms at least a steam-air mixture 5? with sucked-in secondary air, which is sucked out of the cooling chamber by a suction device 20. In particular, in order to reduce the pollutant content of the sucked-in and sucked-off steam-air mixture 5? and its emission into the environment, the present invention provides for pollutants, primarily dust, located in the steam-air mixture 5? by a separator 6, 6? to deplete.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: SMS group GmbHInventors: Andreas NAUJOCK, Klaus-Peter EBERWEIN, Lothar FISCHER, Jochen WANS, Axel WEYER, Ulrich WIEGARD, Judith AHRENS
