  • Publication number: 20240102332
    Abstract: An electric motor-powered furniture drive includes an electric motor; an interface via which the electric motor-powered furniture drive can be connected, preferably detachably connected, to a mechanical actuator; and an identification device for automatically identifying a configuration of the mechanical actuator. Regions of the identification device are located on the interface of the electric motor-powered furniture drive so that the configuration of the mechanical actuator can be identified when the electric motor-powered furniture drive is connected to the mechanical actuator.

  • Publication number: 20240044196
    Abstract: A furniture drive system includes: a support for mounting the system on a furniture carcass; an actuating arm device movably mounted on the support and to be connected to the movable furniture part; an electric motor to be connected to the actuating arm device to move sections of the actuating arm device; a drive device separate from the electric motor for exerting a force on the actuating arm device; an adjusting device for adjusting the force to be exerted by the drive device; and a control device for controlling the electric motor. The control device has a determining device for determining the force to be exerted on the actuating arm device, and the drive device has a damping device to dampen a closing movement and/or an opening movement of the actuating arm device. The determining device is designed to perform a damper analysis of the damping device.

  • Patent number: 11430203
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for registering low dimensional images with a high dimensional image includes receiving a high dimensional image of a region of interest and simulating synthetic low dimensional images of the region of interest from a number of poses of a virtual low dimensional imaging device, from the high dimensional image. The method determines positions of landmarks within the low dimensional images by applying a first learning algorithm to the low dimensional images and back projecting of the positions of the determined landmarks into the high dimensional image space, to thereby obtain the positions of the landmarks in the high dimensional image. The positions of landmarks within low dimensional images acquired form an imaging device are determined by applying the first or a second learning algorithm to the low dimensional images. The low dimensional images are registered with the high dimensional image based on the positions of the landmarks.

  • Patent number: 8873506
    Abstract: A technique for transferring data between an application and at least two Radio Access Technology (RAT) modules selectively connectable to a network is described. A device embodiment of this technique comprises a storage adapted to hold data from the application, the data being intended to be transmitted via at least one of the RAT modules. Furthermore, the device comprises a first control mechanism adapted to initiate holding of the data in the storage when the RAT modules assume the same connection state. The connection state is selected from a connected state in which data transmission via the respective RAT is enabled and a disconnected state in which data transmission via the respective RAT is disabled. The device also comprises a second control mechanism adapted to initiate sending of the data held in the storage to the RAT module assuming the connected state when the RAT modules assumed different connection states again.

  • Patent number: 8770674
    Abstract: A modulator for a vehicle brake system connected to a central module via a data bus, includes at least one input for capturing measured values and at least one output for controlling at least one electromagnetic valve. A control circuit for actuating the valve is connected by the bus such that the measured values are transmitted to the central module. Control commands for actuating the valve are calculated from the measured values in the central module, and are transmitted via the data bus to the modulator so that the it selects the valve as a function of the commands. A vehicle system has at least two modulators and a central module integrated in a modulator. The modulator can be used as a pressure modulator in an air suspension system or in an electronic braking system or in a conventional braking system with an anti-lock braking system or an electronic stability program.
