  • Patent number: 11734017
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to scheduling and processing sensor data across multiple digital signal processing (DSP) cores. A system may include DSP cores that are virtually arranged into a first segment and a second segment, each with DSP cores arranged in a linear order. The system may process sensor data using the DSP cores and a processing pipeline. DSP cores from the first segment are configured to initiate processing a first stage sequentially based on the linear order until all DSP cores are processing portions in parallel, collate outputs to produce a first stage output, and provide a first signal to the second segment based on producing the first stage output.

  • Patent number: 8153236
    Abstract: A roof covering for a building having a roof with structured roof tiles and a structure projecting out from the roof surface, such as a chimney, a window, a wall, or ventilating pipe. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

  • Patent number: 7645196
    Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting torque from a motor to a compressor comprises a hub connecting with a compressor shaft and a pulley rotatably supported on the compressor housing, the pulley and the hub connected with one another by a device for vibration clamping and for load limiting and the load limiting is implemented so that the connection between the pulley and hub is discontinued if a specific torque is exceeded. The load limiting device comprises a catch and a limiter ring (b) comprised of metal including pegs directed radially to the center and, through radial form fitting with hub, transmits the torque onto the compressor shaft and catch is made of a synthetic material encasing the limiter ring and catch and limiter ring can be axially displaced on hub and the limiter ring is preferable made of sintered metal.

  • Publication number: 20050192102
    Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting a torque from a motor to a compressor with a hub (7) for the connection with the compressor shaft and a pulley (1) rotatably supported on the compressor housing (4), the pulley (1) and the hub (7) being connected with one another by a device for vibration damping and for load limiting, and the load-limiting device is implemented such that the connection between pulley (1) and hub (7) is discontinued if a specified torque is exceeded, the load limiting device is formed of two structural parts, namely a catch (5) and a limiter ring (6) comprised of a metal, preferably sintered metal, and having available pegs (6a) directed radially toward the center and, through radial form fit with the hub (7), transmitting the torque to the compressor shaft, the catch (5) is made of a synthetic material encasing the limiter ring (6) and the catch (5) and the limiter ring (6) are axially displaceable on the hub (7).

  • Publication number: 20020068493
    Abstract: Plastic deformable material web, more particularly bitumen web for use preferably in roofing applications. The material web comprises a modelling mesh as the backing material and at least one plastic deformable covering material layer such as a bitumen layer connected to the mesh. For joining the mesh (4′) to the covering material layer (2′) a thin foam web (3′) is bonded or thermally laminating to the mesh. The foam prevents detachment of the bitumen layer from the mesh due to cold flow and prevents sagging of the bitumen even at high temperatures (FIG. 2).

  • Patent number: 5209503
    Abstract: The seal is provided at a joint between two ducts, which are traversed by hot gases. It has a seat for the seal and an elastic compensator strip, which spans the gap between the two ducts. A woven wire cloth is provided under the compensator strip. A metal foil is provided over the woven wire cloth and a packing of ceramic fibers is provided over the metal foil. A seat member for the seal is joined to each of the two ducts. Each seat member is provided with a row of pointed rods of metal, which extend through the woven wire cloth, the metal foil and the packing of ceramic fibers.
