  • Patent number: 12103795
    Abstract: A system for transporting goods, includes a transport container for holding goods, a driverless transport vehicle for transporting the transport container, and a transfer station, on which the transport container is positionable. The transport container includes a locking device, which is lockable to a first locking unit of the driverless transport vehicle, and to a second locking unit of the transfer station. In a method for transporting goods: the locking device of the transport container is locked to the first locking unit; the transport container is transported by the driverless transport vehicle to the transfer station; the locking device of the transport container is unlocked from the first locking unit; and the locking device of the transport container is locked to the second locking unit.

  • Patent number: 11999017
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for conducting and monitoring a machining process of a workpiece (10), in particular a welding process for joining the workpiece (10) to a further workpiece (10), by means of a high-energy machining beam (14), wherein the method comprises the following steps: generating a high-energy machining beam (14); projecting and/or focusing the machining beam (14) onto the workpiece (10), wherein, in accordance with a machining control signal, different machining regions of the workpiece (10) are machined; generating a measurement beam (16) by means of an optical coherence tomograph (18), wherein the measurement beam (16) is able to be coupled into the machining beam (14); determining measurement points (20) during the machining process by means of the optical coherence tomograph (18) using the measurement beam (16), in accordance with a measurement control signal; obtaining at least one external signal which is based on a measured variable and which is independent of a processing of t

  • Patent number: 11834017
    Abstract: A control device and a method controlling an emergency braking pressure of a vehicle, and a vehicle having a control device of this kind, wherein a pilot control pressure (VSDI) is modulated with a pressure modulator as a function of a load condition of the vehicle, a deceleration, a speed and/or a coefficient of friction, and a safety pilot control pressure (SVSD) is controlled with an adjusting device, and wherein in normal operation, a supply pressure is controlled only by the VSDI while, in the event of a system malfunction, the supply pressure is controlled only by the SVSD, wherein it is ensured that the emergency braking pressure does not exceed a nominal pressure in the event of the system malfunction.
