  • Patent number: 11515820
    Abstract: In a method and device for the cyclic digital transmission of a position value of a moving object with inertial mass, the value range of the transmitted position value is restricted such that no complete rotation or, in the case of a linear motion, other complete period caused by mechanical conditions may be mapped, and the actual position is formed by detecting value-range exceedances in an evaluation unit.

  • Patent number: 11063493
    Abstract: A system and installation with a rail vehicle movably arranged on a rail part, includes a first part and a second part. The first part and the second part are movable in parallel relative to each other in a movement direction. The first part has a winding around a leg of a coil core, e.g., a center leg, and the first part has a guide, e.g., a linear guide, and a permanent magnet situated so as to be movable in parallel with the movement direction, e.g., in a linear fashion. The permanent magnet is guided by the guide, e.g., in the movement direction, and, for example, is limited in the front and back in the movement direction.

  • Publication number: 20210101202
    Abstract: In a device, in particular machine, for producing Wiegand wire from a wire, in particular pulse wire, and a method for operating a device, the device having a first clamping chuck, a second clamping chuck, and a third clamping chuck, the wire being fed through each of the three clamping chucks, in particular so that the wire is able to be connected in a releasable and torsionally fixed manner to the three clamping chucks, in particular able to be connected to the three clamping chucks in a releasable, torsionally fixed and nonpositive manner. The clamping chucks are set apart from one another in the wire direction, and the second clamping chuck is situated between the first and the third clamping chuck in the wire direction.

  • Patent number: 10697768
    Abstract: A method and device for the cyclic digital transfer of a position value of a moving object having inertial mass, the value range of the transferred position value being limited in such a way that no whole revolution or, in the case of a linear motion, other complete period that is conditional upon mechanical conditions is mappable, and the actual position is generated by detecting, in an evaluation unit, instances of the value range being exceeded.

  • Patent number: 9965427
    Abstract: A method for assigning addresses to nodes of a bus system, and installation, bus nodes being furnished with an identical delivery address, where (i) an assigning entity, particularly a central computer, start-up computer or bus node sends information to the delivery address via the bus system, (ii) the information includes a first address, (iii) an action is performed whose effect is detected by a first bus node, (iv) the first bus node accepts the first address, (v) the first bus node sends a response to the assigning entity, and (vi) steps (i) through (v) are repeated, each time with a further address for a further bus node.

  • Patent number: 8837560
    Abstract: In a method for interference suppression of a signal composed of symbols, each symbol is transmitted twice in temporal succession as first symbol and second symbol, so that a segment of a symbol corresponds to a segment of the first symbol and a segment of the second symbol. An interference-suppressed signal is composed from the first and second symbols.
