  • Publication number: 20130018512
    Abstract: The invention relates to a contactless man/machine interface and to an appropriate method for controlling or regulating a machine. The interface comprises a first signal generator, which is equipped with at least one component that has a noise signal. By means of calibration according to the invention, it is possible to use the signal for controlling or regulating a machine.

  • Publication number: 20100102207
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring information of biological systems. The aim of the invention is to receive signals using less energy. To achieve this, random generators are used as receivers (B) of low-energy quanta, since the random generators can be regarded and implemented as antennae and receivers of signals of this type. The extensive natural transmission range of low-energy quanta can also be used to receive information from spatially remote systems.

  • Publication number: 20100036615
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring potential information of a biological or technical system. The aim of the invention is to receive signals using less energy. To achieve this, random generators are used as receivers of low-energy quanta, since the random generators can be regarded and implemented as antennae and receivers of signals of this type. The extensive natural transmission range of low-energy quanta can also be used to receive potential information from systems.

  • Publication number: 20070211826
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting data, whereby all necessary information is transmitted on the basis of a global scaling modulation and demodulation by random processes, by carrying out a modulation, coupling or decoupling and demodulation of resonating frequency-coupled noise processes.

  • Patent number: 6473949
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing articulated joints by assembling prefabricated parts, which comprise a pin defining an axis on which at least one articulated part having a bearing hole is to be pivotally mounted by means of a bearing bush. The parts are randomly delivered and, if required, automatically processed in a machine to assemble the joints. Cost-effective production of articulated joints with freely adjustable torques using automatic can be achieved machines by carrying out the following steps: determining the actual dimensions of the bearing holes, the pin and at least one of the two bearing bushes; comparing the determined actual dimensions and the values derived therefrom, especially the ratios, with the threshold values that can be fixed in order to obtain the desired result and inputting control commands into the automatically working machine with the purpose of processing at least one of the parts before assembling the latter.

  • Patent number: 6321216
    Abstract: A method for analyzing and displaying process states of a technical plant includes enabling simultaneous, coherent assessment and display of relevant process variables of the plant by evaluating relevant process variables with regard to one another through the use of a neural analysis on the basis of self-organizing maps, by making a topology-producing projection of data of the relevant process variables onto a neural map. The current process courses are plotted as trajectories on the map. Evaluation in the sense of a diagnosis can be carried out either visually or in an automated manner.

  • Patent number: 6314413
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling process events of a technical plant. In order to permit a simultaneous and coherent assessment of relevant process variables of the plant, it is proposed to use a neural analysis on the basis of self-organizing neural maps to evaluate the relevant process variables in relation to one another by realizing a topology-maintaining nonlinear projection of data from the relevant process variables onto a multidimensional neural map.

  • Patent number: 6108616
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process diagnosis system and a method for the diagnosis of processes and states in a technical process, in particular for the diagnosis of a power station process. The invention is a structured multi-agent system which corresponds to the process and has a plurality of autonomous diagnostic agents. The diagnostic agents in each case contain a neural network, with whose aid a reference behavior of process components that are to be monitored can be learned. In addition, automatic adaptation to a new reference behavior is also possible by the diagnostic agents.
