Patent number: 10695789Abstract: A device for processing a strip guided along a running direction may include a roller holder disposed on a base frame so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis oriented substantially parallel to a strip running surface. A first processing roller may be disposed on the roller holder in the running direction and at a distance from the pivot axis perpendicular to the running direction and offset from the pivot axis such that by pivoting the roller holder, the first processing roller is moved toward the strip and the processing roller is moved away from the strip. A first counter-processing roller may be disposed transversely to the running direction at a further distance from the pivot axis than the first processing roller such that the first processing and counter-processing rollers interact to guide the strip if the first processing roller is moved toward the strip.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2016Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: thyssenkrupp AGInventors: Detlef Bosselmann, Michael Nowak, Gerold Raspudic, Josef Schneider, Reinhard Täger

Publication number: 20200003448Abstract: A facility management portal and associated user interface can be used for remote monitoring, servicing, and commissioning of a Building Management System (BMS) and associated devices. Building stakeholders can use the facility management portal to configure smart thermostat devices with various settings or parameters associated therewith. For example, building stakeholders may create device profiles associated with smart thermostat devices and provide different device profiles to different groups of thermostat devices installed in a building. Moreover, stakeholders can use the facility management portal to monitor data such as energy consumption and air quality associated with buildings. Building tenants can interact with control devices such as smart thermostats and associated mobile applications to initiate maintenance or emergency notifications relayed through the facility management portal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2019Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Alan S.
