  • Patent number: 11566400
    Abstract: An electrically powered hydraulic system for a working machine includes: an electric motor to power a working hydraulic pump. A flow of hydraulic fluid generated by the hydraulic pump is controlled by the operation rotational speed of the electric motor. An electronic control unit is configured to: when an operator input device is in a first operating range, maintain the electric motor at a constant rotational speed, and control a variation in flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic function with an electronically controlled control valve, and when the operator input device is in a second operating range, control a variation in flow of hydraulic fluid by varying the electric motor rotational speed and by controlling the control valve, according to displacement of the operator input device.

  • Patent number: 11021390
    Abstract: A thermally tempered glass element is provided made of glass with two opposite faces that are under compressive stress of at least 40 MPa. The glass has a working point at which the glass has a viscosity of 104 dPa·s of at most 1350° C. The glass has a viscosity versus temperature profile and a coefficient of thermal expansion versus temperature profile of the glass are such that a variable (750° C.?T13)/(CTELiq?CTESol) has a value of at most 5*106 K2. The CTELiq is a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the glass above a glass transition temperature Tg, the CTESol is a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the glass in a temperature range from 20° C. to 300° C., and the T13 is a temperature at which the glass has a viscosity of 1013 dPa·s.

  • Patent number: 10822265
    Abstract: A glass having a good hydrolytic resistance and alkali resistance is defined by a targeted combination of stoichiometric glasses, including glasses also existing as crystals in the same stoichiometry and whose properties can be assumed as being very similar due to the identical topology of the structural units for glass and crystal, respectively. A process of producing the glasses is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20200010358
    Abstract: The present invention relates to glasses having a composition made up of base glasses. The glasses have a good chemical toughenability in combination with an advantageous coefficient of thermal expansion. Owing to their composition and the production process, the homogeneity of the properties of the glasses at their surface is high compared to the bulk glass. Furthermore, the fragility of the glasses is low, so that they can be processed to produce very thin glass articles.
