  • Patent number: 12068970
    Abstract: An industrial system for controlling backplane communication including a cluster manager linked to Input/Output modules via a multipoint low voltage differential signaling, MLVDS, bus through passive base plates. The MLVDS bus contains a transmission line and a reception line for the cluster manager. The transmission line of the MLVDS bus is shared by the Input/Output modules for receiving data transmitted by the cluster manager. The reception line of the MLVDS bus is shared by the Input/Output modules for transmitting data to the cluster manager. The Input/Output modules are synchronized in time with the cluster manager and configured to send data on the reception line of the MLVDS bus at respective scheduled time windows.

  • Publication number: 20230151847
    Abstract: A joint component includes a ball joint with a joint housing that defines a stud opening and a measurement port opposite the stud opening in an axial direction. A ball stud includes a joint ball movably fitted in the joint housing, where the joint ball faces toward the measurement port and the ball stud extends out of the housing through the stud opening. A component body includes a joint-holding housing that defines a joint opening and has a base opposite the joint opening in the axial direction. The joint housing is inserted into the component body with its measurement port facing toward the base. An angle measurement device has an angle sensor to capture a signal that characterizes an angular position of the ball stud relative to the joint housing. The angle measurement device can hold the angle sensor in a sensor holder between the base and the joint housing.

  • Patent number: 11579595
    Abstract: Embodiments of a software defined automation system that provides a reference architecture for designing, managing and maintaining a highly available, scalable and flexible automation system. In some embodiments, an SDA system can include a localized subsystem including a system controller node and multiple compute nodes. The multiple compute nodes can be communicatively coupled to the system controller node via a first communication network. The system controller node can manage the multiple compute nodes and virtualization of a control system on a compute node via the first communication network. The virtualized control system includes virtualized control system elements connected to a virtual network that is connected to a second communication network to enable the virtualized control system elements to control a physical control system element via the second communication network connected to the virtual network.

  • Patent number: 11501856
    Abstract: A method for providing nutritional supplement information for a subject is proposed, including a sequence of steps in given order and repeated at least once after a time span of at least 2 days or one week for adapting the provided nutritional information: A) taking a sample from the subject; B) analyzing said sample to determine the nutritional status; C) based on the results calculation of nutritional supplements to improve the nutritional status; D) providing individualized nutritional supplement information. This sequence involves the prediction of at least one initial characteristics matrix and multiplication of this matrix weighted with factors, with an initial recommendation vector for the calculation of a target profile vector after a given first time interval from the profile vector as determined in step B), and in each following cycle adaptation by adapting at least one of the characteristics matrix and the weighting factors.

  • Patent number: 8756352
    Abstract: A system for managing time-stamped events with uncertain events-sequence signalling, including a list of variables of which a change of value must lead to the detection of an event to be time-stamped and to be saved; means, for each variable, for positioning a marker indicating the quality of the time-stamping of said event; a buffer for the storage, before they are read by client software, of said events to be time-stamped and to be saved, associated respectively with a time-stamping time, said time-stamped events read by the client software being erased from the buffer; means for enabling and for disabling means for saving in a history the values of the variables corresponding to said time-stamped events that have been read.
