  • Publication number: 20240118380
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting interference in a radar system. The method includes transmitting, by a transmitter of the radar system, a sequence of radar pulses at a regular interval with a rest period following each radar pulse of the sequence of radar pulses. The transmitter is disabled during each rest period. A receiver is enabled to receive reflected radar pulses from a target during the rest period following each radar pulse of the sequence of radar pulses. Some of the radar pulses are selected to be omitted and not transmitted. The receiver is still enabled during the rest periods following the omitted transmission pulses. Any reflected pulses received during the rest periods following the omitted transmission pulses may be an indication of a targeted interference of the radar system. In another embodiment, a radar system is provided.

  • Publication number: 20230114128
    Abstract: A transfer device for transferring items to be conveyed, such as flat goods, from a feed conveyor to conveyor spaces of an onward conveyor. The transfer device forms a stationary receiving space for at least one item to be conveyed, the receiving space being delimited at the bottom by a movable support element. The support element is movable via a displacing device between a support position, in which the at least one item to be conveyed lies flat on the support element, and a delivery position, in which the item to be conveyed falls, under the influence of gravity through a released transfer opening downwards, and onto a conveyor space of the onward conveyor that is displaced past below the receiving space.

  • Publication number: 20230045499
    Abstract: A furniture drive for moving a furniture part includes a housing to be located on or in a furniture panel, and an actuating arm mounted movably relative to the housing and on which the movable furniture part can be fastened, and the housing has an end face through which the actuating arm protrudes in a relative position. A spring device can exert a force onto the actuating arm, an adjusting device can adjust the force that can be exerted onto the actuating arm by the spring device, and a display device can display the force adjustment carried out by the adjusting device. The display device is formed separately from the adjusting device and can be read in an installed position of the furniture drive, in which position the housing is located completely, except for the end face, in the furniture panel of the furniture body.

  • Patent number: 8061505
    Abstract: A conveying device for conveying and aligning flat products or stacks of flat products, in particular printed products, includes leading pins for stop on a leading edge of conveyed products and trailing pins or pushers for stop on a trailing edge of the conveyed products. The products are insertable between the leading and trailing pins and are thus aligned by the pins. A distance between successive pushers is adjustable without parts of the device having to be exchanged.

  • Patent number: 7926665
    Abstract: The method according to the invention of transferring stacked, sheet-like, flexible products (10), in particular printed products (12), to a belt conveyor (20) has a gripper (26) by means of which the product (10) at the bottom of the stack of products in each case is conveyed from a receiving region into a transfer region (19). In the transfer region, the product (10) is deposited on the belt conveyor (20). In order to accelerate the product as quickly as possible to the speed, and in the conveying direction (F), of the belt conveyor (20), the method has a contact-pressure roller (54) which follows the gripper (26) in the transfer region (19). This contact-pressure roller (54) presses the product (10) onto the belt conveyor (20), the gripper (26) releasing the product (10) at least more or less at the same time as the operation of pressing the product onto the conveying belt (64) of the belt conveyor (20) commences.

  • Publication number: 20110024972
    Abstract: A device and a method for the depositing of products, in particular print shop products that are folded and/or conveyed in an copy stream (S, S1, S2, S3), onto an outgoing conveying surface of a removal conveyor. A conveyor device with appropriate guide and conveyor elements serves for the guided conveyance of products in a substantially horizontal direction of conveyance. After leaving the exit of the conveyor device the products move, un-guided, further along a trajectory. At least one acceleration element, which is moveable along an orbital track (U) located partially above and partially below the trajectory, interacts with the un-guided products. The acceleration element gives the products an impulse in the vertical direction after the products leave the exit. By this means, a better positioning on the outgoing conveying surface can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 7740235
    Abstract: A mount having an insulation body is arranged between a bearer and an elevator drive, wherein a fastening connects the elevator drive with the bearer. Plugs are embedded in the insulation body, wherein the plugs distributed in a grid-like manner in rows and columns over the insulation body. The plugs, which can be broken out, enable a uniform spring deflection in the case of different loading. The insulation body required for the respective application can be produced by breaking out the appropriate number of plugs.

  • Publication number: 20090055054
    Abstract: A device and a method for activating passenger protection means are described in which an acceleration sensor system which is sensitive in the vehicle longitudinal direction generates a first signal and a second acceleration sensor system which is sensitive in the vehicle transverse direction generates a second signal. Furthermore, an analyzer circuit is provided which activates the passenger protection means as a function of the first and second signals, the analyzer circuit (?C) determining at least one measure for vibrational energy occurring during a crash and deciding for activation as a function of this measure.

  • Patent number: 6880678
    Abstract: According to the invention, the maintenance scaffold (10) is assembled as follows: in a first step, an illuminated ceiling, which lies below the collapsed maintenance scaffold (10), is taken down. Suspension members (17) are then brought into a vertical position. The platform (12) and flap (13) are lowered vertically until they reach the bearings (19) of the suspension members (17). Before mounting the platform (12), the maintenance personnel must unfold the ladder (18) and open the flap (13) upwards. Once the personnel has mounted the platform (12), the flap is closed (13) by means of a handle, in such a way that the entire platform can be used as a working scaffold. With the maintenance scaffold (10) in the working position, the height for a regulatory passage (U) is maintained, as determined by the distance between the cabin ceiling (14) and the platform (12).

  • Patent number: 6269942
    Abstract: A force transmission or transport device having a line of force transmitting elements (2), a guide (1) for guiding the line of force transmitting elements (2) along a predetermined course, and at least one drive. A tensioning drive (6) is provided at one end of a section (5) of the predetermined course. A further drive (3), or an intermitting stop (9), is provided at the other end of the section (5) for tensioning the line of force transmitting elements (2) by a tractive or a compressive load. The further drive (3) or stop (9) acts substantially without slippage on the force transmitting elements (2). The tensioning drive (6), via a friction clutch, starts slipping when the desired tension has built up.

  • Patent number: 4847702
    Abstract: In order to reduce the current supply and thus the heating up of relevant components during the processing of binary signals of any desired pulse duration or width, the pulses forming the binary or first signal are converted into a pulsed or second signal which forms a pulse sequence or train consisting of short pulses having different polarities. The individual pulses of the binary signal are converted to short pulses having a first spacing in the pulsed or second signal. The transitions between the pulses of the binary or first signal are converted to pulses having any desired shortened second spacing as compared to the first spacing.
