  • Patent number: 12269416
    Abstract: A belt fitting for a safety belt device, having a base section and a latch plate projecting from same. The base section has a belt eyelet with a belt strap running surface, which is in sliding contact with a belt strap guided through the belt eyelet when the safety belt is being worn, wherein, in the transverse direction of the belt strap, the belt strap running surface transitions on both sides at lateral corner regions into a belt eyelet edge opposite the belt strap running surface. The belt strap running surface has a surface contour which provides stable transverse guidance of the belt strap in the belt eyelet under loading conditions, which counteracts a transverse load component acting on the belt strap. A displacement body is formed on the belt eyelet edge-opposite the belt strap running surface, which reduces a gap width of the belt eyelet.

  • Patent number: 11607721
    Abstract: A method for producing a model mould core blank uses a ceramic blank fixed to a processing holder. During fixing, a lost core is manufactured from the ceramic blank based on a CNC manufacturing process 3D model, the processing holder being fastened in the running CNC machine. A model blank is produced by casting model material around the lost core while fixing persists. The model blank becomes part of another method for producing a model mould core, wherein an outer contour of a lost model is produced from and/or on the model blank on the basis of a second CNC manufacturing process 3D model, wherein fixing and processing holder fastening also occurs. Another method produces a precision casting mould, in which a ceramic mould is applied to the outer contour of the lost model, and a cast part having a hollow cavity structure is produced by the precision casting mould.

  • Publication number: 20220044133
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for analyzing data collections to determine if they may be anomalous as compared with other data collections. For example, one or more values for data elements of a data collection may be unusually high or low, or may represent infrequently occurring values. Or, values of data elements in a data collection may not be anomalous when considered individually, but may be anomalous in combination. A machine learning model is trained with training data collections, where the training data collections include a plurality of data elements. An inference data collection, also having the data elements of the training data collections, is analyzed using the trained machine learning model to provide an anomaly score. The anomaly score can be based at least in part on feature anomaly scores, which indicate anomality of individual data elements of the inference data collection.

  • Patent number: 8953388
    Abstract: A memory array assembly and a method for performing a write operation without disturbing data stored in other SRAM cells are provided. The memory array assembly comprises a plurality of SRAM cells, a plurality of avoid-disturb cells, a plurality of sense amplifiers and a plurality of write drivers. The SRAM cells are arranged in rows and columns, wherein each column is coupled to an avoid-disturb cell, a sense amplifier, and a write driver. The avoid-disturb cell receives a select signal capable of assuming first or second states. An output of the sense amplifier is coupled to an input of the write driver when the select signal is in the first state. A data-in bus is coupled to the input of the write driver if the select signal is in the second state. The write driver then sends the output signal to the SRAM cell.

  • Patent number: 8921071
    Abstract: Immunogenic compositions and methods for eliciting an immune response against S. epidermidis and other related staphylococci are provided. The immunogenic compositions can include immunogenic conjugates of poly-?-glutamic acid (such as ?DLPGA) polypeptides of S. epidermidis, or related staphylococci that express a ?PGA polypeptide. The ?PGA conjugates elicit an effective immune response against S. epidermidis, or other staphylococci, in subjects to which the conjugates are administered. A method of treating an infection caused by a Staphylococcus organism that expresses cap genes is also disclosed. The method can include selecting a subject who is at risk of or has been diagnosed with the infection by the Staphylococcus organism which expresses ?PGA from the cap genes. Further, the expression of a ?PGA polypeptide by the organism can then be altered.
