Abstract: A hydraulic component includes a piston and a cylinder with a piston receiving space in which the piston is displaceably arranged while defining a chamber, via which a pressure may be applied to a first end face of the piston, from a control chamber, via which pressure may be applied to a second end face of the piston which faces away from the first end face. A first hydraulic line and a second hydraulic line open into the chamber and a control line, which branches off from the first hydraulic line, opens into the control chamber. Due to the respective pressure ratio between the pressure in the chamber and the control chamber, the piston is displaceable from a closed position, in which the first and second hydraulic lines are fluidly decoupled, into an open position, in which the first and second hydraulic lines are fluidly connected, and vice versa.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a radar system includes generating an RF oscillator signal and distributing the RF oscillator signal to a plurality of phase shifters each providing a respective phase-shifted RF oscillator signal; receiving the phase-shifted RF oscillator signals by corresponding radar chips and radiating the phase-shifted RF oscillator signal via a first RF output channel of a first one of the radar chips; receiving a back-scattered signal by at least one RF input channel of each radar chip and generating a plurality of base-band signals by down-converting the received signals into a base band using the phase-shifted RF oscillator signals received by the corresponding radar chips; determining a phase for each base-band signal; and adjusting the phase shifts caused by the phase shifters such that the phases of the base-band signals match a predefined phase-over-antenna-position characteristic.

Abstract: Static and dynamic process data of a system are accessed. Thereafter, using this accessed process data, a subset of such data forming relevant data for a particular context is derived. The data is then explored using a computer-implemented process or processes to automatically get insight into information about structures, distributions and correlations of the relevant data. Rules can be generated based on the exploring of relevant data that describe data dependencies within the relevant data. These generated rules can later be used to generate synthetic data. Such synthetic data, in turn, can be used to for a variety of purposes including the training of a machine learning model while, at the same time, complying with applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations.
