Patent number: 10234205Abstract: A method for charging pallet cars of a traveling grate for the thermal treatment of bulk material includes in a first step a first layer is applied as a hearth layer on a grate surface of the pallet car. In at least one second step a second layer at the same time or successively is applied as a side layer on two opposed side walls of the pallet car and a third layer is applied as green pellet layer between the side layers and on the hearth layer. The pellets used for the grate and the side layer differ in terms of their diameter and size distribution.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: OUTOTEC (FINLAND) OYInventors: Georg Strüber, Markus Schuster, Siegfried Schimo, Roberto Valery, Stephanie Winkler, Suvi Rannantie, Matthias Bergmann, Karl-Heinz Hofmann, Katharina Kremmer, Vincent Siauw, Basavan Salagundi, Michael Ströder, Roger Becker

Patent number: 9322857Abstract: A method for determining an energy yield loss of a first wind turbine of a wind farm that includes a plurality of wind turbines. The first wind turbine is operated in a reduced energy yield mode that is outside an energy-optimized normal operating mode and a reduced energy yield of the first wind turbine is determined. At least one second wind turbine is selected according to a pre-determinable criterion. The energy yield of the at least one second wind turbine is determined and depending upon the energy yield of the at least one second wind turbine, an energy yield potential of the first wind turbine is determined. The difference between the energy yield potential of the first wind turbine and the determined reduced energy yield is formed.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: SENVION SEInventors: Niko Mittelmeier, Matthias Bergmann, Tomas Blodau, Alexander Schubert

Patent number: 8006908Abstract: The invention relates to a data carrier into which, by a laser beam, identifiers (20, 22) are introduced in the form of patterns, letters, numbers and/or images that are visible due to local changes in the optical properties of the data carrier, effected by the laser beam and resulting from material transformations. According to the present invention, the data carrier comprises a laser-sensitive recording layer (26) that is transparent in the visible spectral range and that is provided with a surface relief in the form of a lens grid (28). The identifiers are introduced with the laser beam from different directions through the lens grid (28) into the recording layer (26) and are perceptible when later viewed from those same directions. The data carrier is transparent at least in the area of the introduced identifiers (20, 22).Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2004Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Matthias Bergmann, Günter Endres, Georg Kruse

Patent number: 7938650Abstract: A connector includes an inner structure divided into first, second, and third components. The first component includes plug contacts disposed so as to form a circular plug face configured for connection to a mating connector. The second component includes a connection block having connection contacts configured for connection of a data line connection. The third component includes a printed circuit board configured to provide an adaptable connecting element between the connection block and the plug contacts. The printed circuit board includes a plurality of layers in a sandwich configuration, the plurality of layers including layers having conductive trace alternating with layers having a dielectric. A first layer having a dielectric is disposed between two layers having conductive trace so as to form a first parallel plate capacitor. A second layer having a dielectric is disposed between two layers having trace so as to form a second parallel plate capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2007Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Christian Helmig, Matthias Bergmann, Jens Koester
