  • Publication number: 20250052369
    Abstract: Disclosed is a compressed-gas storage container for the pressurized storage of hydrogen gas including a wall defining a receiving area for storage of the gas. A gas-guiding device directs at least part of the gas along the inside of the wall wherein the wall acts as a heat exchanger in order to remove heat from the gas as the receiving area is being filled with the gas and to dissipate said heat to surroundings exterior to the gas storage container.

  • Publication number: 20250046549
    Abstract: A switching device has at least one bellows made of a low-carbon nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy. By using a low-carbon nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy as a bellows material in the switching device, the “buckling stiffness”, i.e. the resistance to transverse deflection, and the mechanical service life of the bellows can be increased. The switching device can be a live-tank switching device, a dead-tank switching device, or else a gas-insulated switching device.

  • Publication number: 20250036156
    Abstract: A sensor system may include an object, a magnet, and a magnetic sensor. The magnet may be connected to the object such that a center of the magnet is offset from an axis of the object. The magnetic sensor may include a first three-dimensional (3D) sensing pixel and a second 3D sensing pixel. The magnetic sensor may be arranged such that the first 3D sensing pixel and the second 3D sensing pixel are at different distances from a tilt point of the object. The magnetic sensor may be arranged such that the first 3D sensing pixel and the second 3D sensing pixel are at different distances from the center of the magnet.

  • Patent number: 12212080
    Abstract: Various embodiments that pertain to a loop antenna are described. The loop antenna can be a single loop antenna that switches between a first phase and a second phase. While operating at different phases, the loop antenna can function at the same frequency. The loop antenna can observe a response to the frequency at the first phase and the frequency at the second phase. This can provide a wider range of information over operation in a single phase.

  • Patent number: 11111831
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cylinder head oil separator arranged in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. In order to reduce maintenance and simplify the oil separator, the cylinder head oil separator includes a flow channel which is constructed as a Tesla valve and which is designed such that the air-oil aerosol flows through a longer flow path in a first flow direction from the aerosol inlet at a first opening to the air outlet (separation direction) at a second opening. The air-oil aerosol flows through a shorter flow path in a ventilation direction opposite the separation direction from the inlet at the second opening to the outlet of a fluid at the first opening.

  • Patent number: 10015056
    Abstract: System, method, and apparatus for improving the performance of collective operations in High Performance Computing (HPC). Compute nodes in a networked HPC environment form collective groups to perform collective operations. A spanning tree is formed including the compute nodes and switches and links used to interconnect the compute nodes, wherein the spanning tree is configured such that there is only a single route between any pair of nodes in the tree. The compute nodes implement processes for performing the collective operations, which includes exchanging messages between processes executing on other compute nodes, wherein the messages contain indicia identifying collective operations they belong to. Each switch is configured to implement message forwarding operations for its portion of the spanning tree. Each of the nodes in the spanning tree implements a ratcheted cyclical state machine that is used for synchronizing collective operations, along with status messages that are exchanged between nodes.

  • Patent number: 9837224
    Abstract: A load or a generator is connected to an energy line, e.g. a ring feeder of an energy distribution network by using a switching system. For this purpose, the switching system has a thyristor circuit, which is connected in parallel to a disconnect switch and connects the transformer of the switching system to an energy line. Thereby an efficient disconnect switch can be realized, which can be dimensioned depending on the power of the load or generator.
