  • Patent number: 12270732
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for determining a scaling factor for a strain measurement in a machine element, comprising steps for measuring a strain in a measurement surface portion by means of a strain measuring device; for measuring a displacement of a detection surface portion of the machine element by an optical scanning; for determining a displacement field on a surface of the machine element on the basis of a model of the machine element and the measured displacement of the at least one detection surface portion; for determining a strain field on the surface of the machine element on the basis of the determined displacement field and the model of the machine element; and for determining a scaling factor of the strain measuring device on the basis of the determined strain field and the measured strain in the measurement surface portion.

  • Publication number: 20250104936
    Abstract: A contact carrier serves for fastening a contact element of a low-voltage protective switching device by a soldering operation, so that a solder layer is formed between the contact carrier and the contact element. The contact carrier has a contacting area for the solder layer, the contacting area for its part having a rough surface structure and being delimited by a first groove-like depression. As a result of the rough surface structure of the contacting area and the first groove-like depression, when the contact element is being fixed on the contact carrier by soldering, the solder flux can be specifically influenced to the effect that rising up of the solder at the sides of the contact element is avoided, or at least significantly reduced. The quality of the soldered connection, and consequently the reliability of the soldering process, are significantly improved in this way.

  • Patent number: 12228423
    Abstract: A method for generating a map display for vehicles. The method includes receiving vehicle sensor data; ascertaining poses of the vehicles based on the vehicle sensor data; generating subsets of the plurality of poses by combining poses of drives that have been carried out on an identical subsection of the route, a course of the respective subsection of the route being described by the vehicle sensor data assigned to the poses of every subset; generating sub-segments of the map display based on the subsets of the poses, for each subset a sub-segment being generated, and a course of the traffic lane within a sub-segment corresponding to one of the subsets being ascertained based on the poses of a subset; interpreting the sub-segments as nodes of a graph display of the map display and connecting sub-segments via edges of the graph display.

  • Patent number: 11741078
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently maintaining a transaction sequence witness service to ensure that requests to read data provide consistent results across all storage nodes in a distributed system. When a storage node receives a request for a data object, the node may obtain—from transaction sequence witness service—the latest sequence number associated with the object. If the sequence number indicates the object has been modified in the period of time since the currently stored version was stored, the node can obtain the current version from persistent storage.
