  • Patent number: 10935027
    Abstract: The invention relates to a separator device of a compressor for the deposition of a fluid, in particular a lubricant from a coolant fluid of the compressor, including a separator cylinder having an inlet region for the coolant fluid and an outlet region for the deposited fluid spaced apart from inlet in an axial direction of the cylinder, and a separation tube configured and arranged coaxially in the separator cylinder. The separation tube extends at least over the inlet region of the separator cylinder such that the separation tube is spaced apart from the separator cylinder in a radial direction in the inlet region. A spring-loaded closure is configured and arranged in the inlet region to automatically regulate a flow velocity of a volume flow of the coolant fluid flowing through the inlet as a function of a pressure at the inlet.

  • Patent number: 9666912
    Abstract: For a technical object whose temperature is to be controlled, in particular a battery for an electric vehicle drive, there is provided a heat exchanger arrangement, the heat exchanger of which is in the form of a heat-exchanging pouch which has an inflow and outflow duct and which is in heat-conducting contact with internal surfaces of the object whose temperature is to be controlled. The heat-exchanging pouch is produced in a simple manner by means of edge welding of two foil pieces arranged one above the other. The mounting of said heat-exchanging pouch in a narrow gap space of a heat exchanger arrangement, and good heat transfer to adjacent walls, are made possible by means of a pressure pouch which is likewise formed from a foil material and which is filled with a compressible medium.

  • Patent number: 8689174
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, related to extensibility of pattern components in a visual modeling language environment. A pattern component may implement an interface, the pattern component may be received (e.g., by a compiler), and a determination may be made as to whether components of the interface are implemented by the pattern component. If so, a reference to the interface is bound to the pattern component (e.g., a function call referencing a function signature of an interface may be substituted with a call to a function having the same name of the pattern component). A role may be assigned to a pattern component of a visual modeling environment of an application development system and a behavior may be performed based on the role assigned to the pattern component.

  • Patent number: 8379624
    Abstract: A radio access network includes a transport network layer; a radio network layer having a layer 2 network for communicating between entities within the radio network layer by exchanging datagrams having a predetermined format used only within the radio network layer. Accordingly, the present invention provides for a true decoupling at layer 2 between the radio network layer and the transport network layer. Addressing at layer 2 can enable both connectionless and connection oriented using an overlay connectivity model. Layer 2 in the radio network layer is implemented as an Ethernet network.

  • Patent number: 8312382
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for developing user interface applications using configurable patterns and for executing such pattern-based applications. The applications can be developed by generating a graphic representation of a pattern, which can include multiple pattern elements having prearranged user interface elements. The pattern can specify predefined actions that can be performed using the user interface elements, and the graphic representation can include graphic objects corresponding to the pattern elements. Application development can further include receiving user input identifying a selected graphic object and modifying the graphic representation to display information regarding the pattern element corresponding to the selected graphic object.

  • Patent number: 8296665
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for developing user interface applications using configurable patterns and for executing such pattern-based applications. The techniques include receiving an identification of a pattern, generating configuration data for the pattern, and storing the configuration data separately from the pattern. The pattern includes a predefined arrangement of user interface elements and specifies predefined actions that can be performed using the user interface elements. The configuration data specifies associations between one or more of the user interface elements and one or more entities in a back-end system, and further specifies customization data for the user interface elements.

  • Patent number: 7823078
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for business data processing. The techniques include displaying business data on a user interface through which users can view the business data and provide input modifying the business data. The business data comprises a plurality of business objects. The techniques further include receiving one or more first user inputs, each first user input requesting creation of a note and specifying the contents of the note to be created; in response to each of the first user inputs, creating a note and binding the note to one of the business objects; receiving a second user input selecting one of the notes; and in response to the second user input, navigating from the selected note to the business object bound to the selected note.

  • Patent number: 7483450
    Abstract: A system and method for clock synchronization in a network having one or more asynchronous data links is provided. A clock signal is propagated through, at the physical layer, a sequence of network devices linking a source network device to a destination network device of the network. Each asynchronous data link between the source network device and the destination network device is adapted to receive an incoming clock signal from the previous network device and then provide a clock signal synchronized to the received clock signal to the next network device of the sequence. At the same time, each network device of an asynchronous segment of the network can continue to transmit packets of data asynchronously. By locking the link-based frequency on a per link bases, the receiver clocks located at the edge of a network can be tied directly to a primary source located in the core network.
