  • Patent number: 7915887
    Abstract: A device for generating a magnetic field in a goal area with at least two coils arranged in parallel to a goal area defined and bounded by a goal, wherein a first coil is attached in an area behind the goal and a second coil is attached closer to the goal than the first coil or identical to the goal, wherein the first coil and the second coil respectively have a coil impedance, wherein the coil impedance of the second coil is set so that a magnetic field of the second coil generated due to a magnetic field of the first coil reduces the magnetic field of the first coil at a location within the second coil by at least 20%.

  • Patent number: 7500243
    Abstract: Load balancing method and system for balancing a processing load in a network, wherein load balancer upon receiving a client request selects one of a plurality of processing servers for serving the request. The selection of a processing server may be based on a location of a client and a processing server. The load balancer may comprise a load balancing master and a plurality of load balancing slaves, wherein the load balancing slaves receive client requests and transmit a selection request message to the load balancing master. The load balancing master selects a load balancing slave and/or a processing server for serving the request and generates a corresponding instruction message. The client request is served by the selected load balancing slave and the selected processing server by establishing a communication link between the client and the processing server.

  • Patent number: 6684937
    Abstract: A description is given of a module carrier for various diverse heat exchangers for a motor vehicle engine, which comprises a supporting frame, to which the coolant/air cooler and at least one air-conditioning condenser is fitted. The supporting frame comprises a lower part with a crossmember 2 as base and two side parts 3, 4 projecting vertically therefrom, to define upwardly open compartments 6, 7, 6′, 7′ in the lower part for the insertion of at least the coolant/air cooler and the air-conditioning condenser 9. These upwardly open compartments are closed off by an upper support 5, which interconnects the free ends of the side parts 3, 4 to form the supporting frame and which secures the inserted heat exchangers 8, 9 in their positions.

  • Patent number: 6345860
    Abstract: A vehicle roof for a motor vehicle has a roof part which can be moved in the longitudinal direction and can be adjusted between a closed position which closes a roof opening in the motor vehicle and an open position which releases the roof opening. Furthermore, a driving motor is provided which drives, via at least one driving pinion, two driving cables which adjust the roof part and are guided along both sides of the roof 15 opening. In order to provide a drive for a vehicle roof the drive has good operational reliability and provides sufficiently high power, yet at the same time being of small construction. Each driving cable is assigned a respective motor-operated driving pinion.

  • Patent number: RE35756
    Abstract: Starting on the surface of a foundation body (2) weld material is applied in runs to form layers by an equipment for profiling building-up welding and hence a workpiece (1) is manufactured, where the foundation body (2) may be a component of the workpiece (1). The course of runs to form layers as well as the approximate rate of application of weld material are calculated by a computer system (11), starting from a two- or three-dimensional data model of the workpiece (1) in the form of software, and given over to the system control (10) which positions the welding torch (7) by means of the robot (5) and the workpiece (1) located on a turntable (4) by a clamping mechanism (3) with respect to one another, and regulates the rate of application of weld material applied by the welding apparatus (8) in such a way that the liquid weld material adheres to the layer lying underneath without running down and irregularities in the runs to form layers are levelled out.
