  • Publication number: 20250147102
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, an electronic device is described, having a counter circuit which is configured to detect first pulses in a received first output signal and to determine a number of the detected first pulses, a counter circuit which is configured to detect second pulses in a received second output signal and to determine a number of the detected second pulses, and an error detection circuit configured to register a first difference between the number of first pulses detected in a first time interval and the number of second pulses detected in the first time interval, determine a second difference between the number of first pulses detected in a second time interval and the number of second pulses detected in the second time interval and indicate an error if the first difference and the second difference differ from one another by at least one predefined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 12279743
    Abstract: A method of using a cleaning robot for improved cleaning of edges of a wall having a projecting baseboard, includes using the robot to strike the baseboard in a first cleaning pass, causing an impact sensor to generate a first signal and a distance sensor to detect a first distance from the wall. The robot continues its first cleaning pass and strikes the baseboard a further time, causing the impact sensor to generate a second signal and the distance sensor to detect a second distance from the wall. A computer of the robot uses the signals to calculate two spatial points and a first straight line running through the points. The computer uses the distances and the two spatial points to establish an approach boundary of the cleaning robot relative to the wall. The computer controls the cleaning robot during subsequent cleaning passes exclusively using the one distance sensor.

  • Publication number: 20250049682
    Abstract: A coating, preferably a color coating, method for keratin fibers is described which includes three steps: activation, pretreatment and binding. The activation step includes one or both of a Praeparatur procedure and a Fundamenta procedure to produce modified fibers. The pretreatment step applies a pretreatment composition of at least a PTH alkoxysilane with PTH as a thiol, a protected thiol or a group complementarily reactive with thiol to the modified fibers to form pretreated fibers. The binding step applies a film forming composition to the pretreated fibers to form the color coating.

  • Patent number: 12203247
    Abstract: A method for operating an on-board water supply and distribution system of an aircraft for supplying water includes a central water tank, first consumer assemblies with buffer tanks each including a heater to heat up water in the buffer tank to a disinfection temperature, pump having upstream and downstream sides to operate in supply and reverse modes, and high-pressure conduit system. The central water tank connects to the pump's upstream side. The conduit system connects the downstream side with a first consumer assembly. The method includes operating the pump in supply mode where water from the central tank goes to a first consumer assembly to fill a buffer tank, operating a buffer tank heater so water heats to a predetermined disinfection temperature, and operating the pump in reverse mode so heated water passes through a part of the conduit system and the upstream side of the pump.

  • Publication number: 20230153721
    Abstract: Predicting a refill requirement for wash substances for performing a vehicle wash using a wash system for the car wash for performing the vehicle washing, wherein the control module is for providing a refill data set for predicting a refill requirement for washing substances. The control module comprises at least one measuring device for detecting current fill level data for each of the washing substances and a data link between the at least one measuring device and the control module for transmitting the detected fill level data to the control module. The control module is designed to perform a prediction function for calculating a refill data set, in which a prediction of the refill requirement is encoded, based on planning data, which represent planned vehicle washes at the washing system taking into account washing-substance-specific consumption data.

  • Publication number: 20160215992
    Abstract: A combination air eliminator and flow balancer for a fluid circulation system includes a tank having a supply inlet, a supply outlet, a return inlet and a return outlet. The tank defines an interior having a vertical cylindrical configuration. The supply inlet is located above the supply outlet, the return inlet and the return outlet. The supply inlet introduces fluid into an upper portion of the interior of the tank in a tangential direction to induce rotational downward flow between the supply inlet and the supply outlet, which separates air contained within the fluid. The air migrates upwardly within the tank interior and is vented.

  • Patent number: 7992670
    Abstract: A motor vehicle having a unit, particularly a drive assembly, which is operated by a fuel that is cryogenically stored in a vehicle tank, is provided, in which fuel is heated by a heat exchange with a warmer medium. The fuel taken from the vehicle tank comes in contact with the cold side of a thermoelectric generator, particularly in the form of a Seebeck element, in order to generate electric current for the electric power supply of the vehicle. The warm side of the thermoelectric generator is preferably acted upon by the warmer medium also used for the heat exchange with the cold fuel, in which case the thermoelectric generator may be integrated in a heat exchanger for the heat exchange between the fuel taken and the warmer medium.

  • Publication number: 20070182718
    Abstract: An operator control device for controlling systems in a motor vehicle by inputs by a user includes a touch-sensitive operator control panel on which it is possible to represent two surface shapes which may be changed into one another alternately, with the first surface shape being structured so as to be capable of being sensed in a tactile fashion so that it may be used to select zones on the operator control panel in order to select menu items. The individual selectable zones may be configured differently in shape, extent and their position on the operator control panel, and the second surface shape is smoothed in comparison with the first shape so that hand-written and graphic inputs are possible with it.
