  • Patent number: 10229379
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a checklist function integrated with a process flow model. The process checklist utilizes a semi-automated visual approach to cover processes specific to a user and/or enterprise. A model of the process is generated and stored, for example utilizing an input template in XML format and according to the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard. Next, instances corresponding to runs of the mapped processes are created. Various internal documents can be linked together within a process instance, thereby allowing enterprises to define different relationships between documents independent of product-wide implementation and database complexity. In some embodiments the process models may be accessed interactively in a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get manner, without being machine executed. This allows for relatively loose process definition/modelling, fostering interpretation reliant upon user intuition.

  • Patent number: 9978510
    Abstract: A planar transmitter having a vertical extent and a horizontal extent, having a layer structure with a plurality of electrical circuits, wherein a first electrical circuit and a second electrical circuit are electrically conductively disconnected from one another. The transmitter also has at least one magnetic core which at least partially surrounds the layer structure and acts at least on the first electrical circuit and on the second electrical circuit, wherein the first electrical circuit and the second electrical circuit lie substantially in one plane and form one layer of the layer structure. Provision is further made for at least the first electrical circuit or the second electrical circuit to be subdivided into a plurality of electrical circuits which are electrically conductively disconnected from one another.

  • Patent number: 9953761
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for contactless energy transmission by means of induction. There are a plurality of coils arranged in a matrix, the coils having at least one conductor that surrounds a central axis of the coil at least once in one turn. The central axis stands vertically on the surface surrounded by the conductor in the geometric center of area of the surrounded surface. The coils are arranged adjacent to one another in a planar unit that extends in a first dimension, in a second dimension, and in a third dimension. The extension of the planar unit in the first dimension and in the second dimension is significantly greater than in the third dimension. The central axis of each coil stands at least locally at least nearly perpendicular to the surface spanned by the first dimension and the second dimension. The coils are also arranged in a regular manner within the planar unit in rows and/or columns such that each coil has at least two or three immediately adjacent coils.

  • Patent number: 9780569
    Abstract: A device for electrical energy supply and/or data supply of end devices using inductive coupling includes an oblong holding device and a number of adjacently arranged transmitting coils that generate magnetic field lines along the holding device. Structurally narrow end devices have flat receiving coils whose plane is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the holding device.

  • Patent number: 9768836
    Abstract: A device for supplying electrical energy and/or supplying data to an electronic module, comprising a transmitting coil that has a coil axis and at least two energy receiving parts that are arranged side by side and have receiving coils, the coil axes of which run in the same direction or run parallel to the transmitting coil axis. Each of the coils is integrated in resonance circuits. The energy receiving parts supply electronics and, together with the same, are galvanically separated from one another by an insulating area of separation which is bridged by a data signal coupling line.

  • Patent number: 9508484
    Abstract: A planar transmitter, particularly an intrinsically safe transmitter, having a layer structure having a first circuit and at least a second circuit, wherein the first circuit and the second circuit are galvanically separated from one another by means of at least one insulation layer. The transmitter has a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer, wherein the first magnetic layer delimits a first side of the layer structure, and the second magnetic layer delimits a second side of the layer structure, wherein the first magnetic layer 4a and the second magnetic layer are separated from one another and can be assigned to different potential groups.
