The vehicle door actuating apparatus (100) includes an actuating surface (106), a sensor (140), such as an inductive sensor or switch, and a mechanism for transmitting a compressive force applied by a user to the actuating surface (106) into a movement that is detectable by the sensor. The mechanism includes a first component (111) or a first component group on which the switch (140) is at least partially fixed and a transmission element (120) that is pivotally arranged on the first component (111) or the first component group. The transmission element (120) is pivotable between a home position in which the sensor (140) is not triggered by the transmission element (120) and an actuating position in which the sensor (140) is triggered by the transmission element (120). The transmission element (120) is movable relative to the actuating apparatus (102).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Zsolt WILKE, Andreas RUDOLF, Fritz GÖBEL, Martin WEID

Publication number: 20170122659Abstract: A process and apparatus for liquefying a gas stream comprising hydrocarbons and sour species is provided in which the sour species are removed in liquefied form as the sweetened gas stream is progressively cooled to liquefaction temperatures. The process involves cooling the gas stream in a manner to produce a cooled gas stream comprising gaseous hydrocarbons and residual sour species. The cooled gas stream is then treated with a cold solvent to deplete the cooled gas stream of residual sour species. The resulting cooled sweetened gas stream is then further cooled to produce liquid hydrocarbons.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2016Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: Nimalan GNANENDRAN, Martin WILKES

Publication number: 20160010566Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine below its rated power, in which CO emissions in the exhaust gas of the gas turbine increase with a reduction of the output gas turbine power, wherein, if a predefined threshold value, which can be selected as desired, for the CO emissions is reached or if a predefined threshold value, specified in relative or absolute terms, for the output gas turbine power is undershot, the combustion temperature in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is increased. To operate the gas turbine with low emissions, for a constant power output, the exhaust-gas temperature increase generated at the outlet of the gas turbine as a result of the combustion temperature increase is at least partially compensated through the addition of a liquid or vaporous medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2014Publication date: January 14, 2016Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Bottcher, Eberhard Deuker, Andre Kluge, Philipp Kreutzer, Marco Link, Ansgar Sternemann, Marc Tertilt, Martin Wilke
