  • Publication number: 20250033287
    Abstract: In a method for producing, by means of an additive manufacturing method or a 3D printing process, at least one component comprising at least two build materials each having a critical residence time T_x_max, data for producing the component are provided and the component is divided into at least one build portion having corresponding build portion information. After deriving at least one build material volume and at least one average removal rate per build portion from the build portion information, at least one build time per build portion and at least one resulting residence time t_x for each build material are calculated from the build material volume and the removal rate. The resulting residence times t_x are compared with the respective critical residence times T_x_max of the corresponding build materials. By virtue of the fact that at least one adaptation of the data is carried out.

  • Publication number: 20220288599
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a grinder roller for use in a grinder roller pair, in particular a grain roller pair, comprising at least one sensor for the detection of measured values which characterize a state of the grinder roller, wherein the sensor is arranged in a receiving opening of the grinder roller, at least one data transmitter for the contactless transmission of the measured values of the at least one sensor to a data receiver, wherein the sensor is enclosed in the receiving opening by means of a cap made from ceramic material. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a corresponding grinder roller pair, to a production plant which comprises a grinder roller pair of this type, to a corresponding cap, to a kit consisting of a corresponding cap and a fastening device, and to a method for operating a product processing plant of this type.

  • Patent number: 6607210
    Abstract: An airbag arrangement and method includes an airbag module, which has a module housing and an airbag. The airbag is arranged so that it sequentially unfolds in various directions so that it ultimately becomes positioned in front of the passenger. The airbag has two sections, a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber inflates first and is forced to travel substantially laterally along the dashboard toward the A-frame, and rests there or the windshield or both. The airbag is twistingly connected relative to the housing so that as the first chamber inflates, it rests against the windshield or the A-frame and applies a torque thereagainst to stably position the first chamber. The first chamber becomes substantially centered about the front seat. Thereafter, the second chamber inflates toward the seat or the passenger seated therein.

  • Patent number: 6460878
    Abstract: An airbag arrangement and method includes an airbag module, which has a module housing and an airbag. The airbag is arranged so that it sequentially unfolds so that it ultimately becomes positioned in front of the passenger. The module is mounted along a roof region of the vehicle, in front of a passenger seat, with an opening of the housing facing toward the windshield. The airbag has a first section and a second section extending from the first section at an angle, which can be substantially at 90°. The first and second sections are configured to deploy substantially downwardly along the windshield. The second section is configured to further deploy toward the passenger, below the passenger's head level.
