Publication number: 20240336212Abstract: A method for detecting damage to an outer shell of a vehicle. The vehicle is of a specific type with specific vehicle data. Damage can be classified into at least two groups. Damage of a first group has a greater severity of the damage than damage of a second group. An acceleration of the vehicle is ascertained and/or a rotation rate of the vehicle is ascertained. Damage of the first group is ascertained if the acceleration of the vehicle exceeds a threshold value of the acceleration and/or if the rotation rate of the vehicle exceeds a threshold value of the rotation rate. The acceleration and/or the rotation rate are compared to acceleration values and/or rotation rate values learned for the specific vehicle type. Damage of the second group is ascertained if damage is detected as a function of the comparison to the learned values.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: October 10, 2024Inventors: Martin Klein, Simon Koenig, Yannick Fischer, Klaus Heyer

Patent number: 11970753Abstract: A method for producing an ultra-high-strength hot-rolled structural steel includes producing a steel alloy with a carbon content not greater than 0.2%, avoiding a diffusive transformation of the austenite by achieving a transformation delay through the addition of manganese, chromium, and boron, and casting the steel alloy. The cast steel alloy is heated and hot rolled to form a steel strip which is then immediately hardened and mechanically straightened to produce mobile dislocations, wherein the boron, manganese and chromium delay diffusive transformation from an austenite structure to achieve formation of a martensite structure during the hardening. The steel strip is then annealed at a temperature between 100 and 200° C.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: voestalpine Stahl GmbHInventors: Markus Sonnleitner, Martin Klein, Gerhard Hubmer, Helmut Spindler

Publication number: 20220355961Abstract: The invention relates to a device for welding a connection region of a film to a connection part having an axial direction. In the case of conventional devices, there is the risk of steep workpiece edges causing uncontrolled weak spots in the film and in the weld seam. According to the invention, the film is extended in a controlled manner such that the film has a length reserve. The film is extended in such a way that the film has a deformation cross-section that runs out such that the deformation is not visible on the final product. In this connection, the invention further relates to a use of a film, to a method for welding, to a method for producing bags, to a system for producing bags, and to a bag.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Rupert Gschwendtner, Martin Klein
