  • Publication number: 20250208608
    Abstract: A method and a system for detecting and correcting errors in safety messages and/or safety-relevant data received by an automation component of an industrial automation system via a digital communication network is described, wherein a safety protocol is used for data transmission of the safety messages and/or safety-relevant data. Cyclic Redundancy Checks are applied to the safety messages and/or safety-relevant data, and the safety messages and/or safety-relevant data are transmitted in the form of data packets. An Error correction layer is designed to carry out steps to detect and correct errors in the safety messages and/or safety-relevant data. The steps are repeated, until either the value of an error signal indicates that the data packet is error-free or the number of repetitions of the steps reaches a predefined maximum number of repetitions.

  • Patent number: 9271232
    Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method are provided for power saving. The mobile terminal monitors changes of data on a UART bus, acquires current operating states of a Bluetooth chip and a main control chip on the mobile terminal, and when detecting that there is no data on the UART bus, the main control chip controls a Bluetooth module to enter into a power saving mode. By adopting the technical scheme described, once it is detected that there is no data on the bus, the Bluetooth module will be enabled to enter into a state of power saving mode immediately, which ensures that the Bluetooth module is always in the state of power saving mode when there is no service ongoing, thereby increasing the standby time of the mobile terminal to the maximum extent, and improving the level of the user experience.

  • Patent number: 8785769
    Abstract: A method for vertically grounding and leading down form an inner side of a composite pole tower and pole tower thereof, wherein the method includes the following steps: extending an upper metal cross arm from an extended line of at least one side of a ground wire cross arm which is made of metal, vertically leading down a ground down-leading wire from a distal end of the upper metal cross arm, connecting the ground down-leading wire to the pole tower via a lower metal cross arm at a distance under a lower lead, and grounding the ground down-leading wire along a tower body of the pole tower, wherein when an lower portion of the tower body is a metal pipe, the ground down-leading wire is selectively directly connected to the metal pipe via the lower metal cross arm. The upper metal cross arm and the lower cross arm are able to provide a distance between the ground down-leading wire and the pole tower.

  • Publication number: 20100150838
    Abstract: Methods are provided for evaluating osteoarthritis (OA), for example for diagnosing OA, to confirm a diagnosis of OA, to assess or prognose progression of OA, determining the severity of a subject who has OA, and determining a subject's risk of developing OA in the future, as are arrays and kits that can be used to practice the methods. In particular examples, the method includes determining an amount of activity (such as an amount of protein present or an amount of expression) of OA risk-related molecules, such as soluble vascular adhesion protein 1 (sVAP-1) or interleukin-15 (IL-15). Also provided are methods of identifying one or more compounds that alter the activity of an OA-related molecule, thereby identifying potential anti-osteoarthritis drugs.
