  • Control device and method for controlling an actuator for actuating braking means of a vehicle, more particularly of a rail vehicle
    Patent number: 11932219
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control device and a method for controlling at least one actuator for actuating braking means of a vehicle. A contact variable control system forms an inner control circuit, wherein the braking torque control system is arranged in a braking torque control unit embodied separately or in a separate location from the contact variable control unit and forms an outer control circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Identifying and regulating the starting behavior during electrochemical machining of workpieces
    Patent number: 9790615
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the electrochemical machining of a workpiece, in which at least one electrode is situated adjacent to a surface to be machined and current pulses are generated in pulsed operation to ablate material from the workpiece. Before and/or at the beginning and/or during the electrochemical ablation, data of the current pulses are registered and analyzed to identify a starting phase or a transient phase comparable to a starting phase and/or to regulate the spacing of the electrode to the surface to be machined and/or the current flow during a starting phase or a transient phase comparable to a starting phase.
