  • Patent number: 11870786
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for access control for object instances. A method includes receiving, at a cloud application, a user request associated with a user. The user request corresponds to an instance of a first application artifact type. Role assignments for the user are retrieved from a cloud platform and a determination is made that the role assignments grant permission to the first application artifact type to the user. A determination is made that a first instance-based access policy exists for the first application artifact type. A determination is made regarding whether the first instance-based access policy grants permission for the user to access the instance. The user request is serviced in response to determining that the first instance-based access policy grants permission for the user to access the instance.

  • Patent number: 11366449
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a machine tool W having a control device for controlling the operating modes of the machine tool W. The control device comprises an operating unit B for operation of the control device by a user and a safety controller S for actuating the various machine areas M of the machine tool W. By means of the operating unit B, it is possible to select machine areas of the machine tool W and to define an operating mode for the selected machine areas M. The selected machine areas M and associated operating mode are transmitted to the safety controller S. As a result of this type of actuation of the machine tool, safe operation is possible during installation and service work on the machine tool.

  • Patent number: 9500854
    Abstract: A beam steering mirror device includes a mirror having an optical part with a reflecting or optical surface and a mirror body. The optical part is essentially thermally de-coupled from the body. A biaxial suspension of the mirror body has two rotation axes arranged essentially perpendicular with respect to each other and being located in a common plane. The suspension includes a set of four flexible pivots with a pair of pivots assigned to each rotation axis. The mirror is arranged with regard to the biaxial suspension such that its center of mass is approximately located in the intersection point of the two rotation axes. The device also includes motors for moving of the mirror body around the two rotation axes, sensors for determining the tilting angle of the mirror, and a housing for the mirror, the biaxial suspension, the motors and the sensors.

  • Patent number: 9038267
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of producing tubes for use in a heat exchanger, in which a tube is moved along a production line in a direction, predetermined breaking points are created in the tube, and in which the tube is severed at the predetermined breaking points to form individual tubes with a tearing-off device having a first clamp and a second clamp. The first clamp can be reciprocated along the direction, and the tube can be moved substantially continuously along the production line in the direction through the tearing-off device. Also, the second clamp can be reciprocated along the direction substantially simultaneously with the first clamp.

  • Patent number: 8678428
    Abstract: An airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system for a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag comprising at least one first and at least one second fastening component to attach the airbag to a vehicle body. The second fastening component is attached in such a way that—in relation to the deflated, flat outspread state of the airbag—it is offset from the first fastening component in a perpendicular direction to the main extension direction of the airbag. A first section of the airbag that stretches to a side of the second fastening component facing away from the first fastening component, is folded by means of a first fold in the form of a rolled fold and a second section of the airbag that extends to a side of the second fastening component facing the first fastening component by means of a second fold different from a rolled fold.
