  • Publication number: 20130171009
    Abstract: In a fan system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, having an electrical fan motor with a commutator, and having a control unit which detects a fault in the fan motor and switches said motor to a voltage-free state if the motor current reaches a predetermined load-dependent switch-off value, the invention proposes that the control unit controls the fan motor with at least a virtually maximum power for a predetermined period of time if the motor current reaches a load-dependent switching value which is lower than the associated switch-off value by a predetermined amount. As a result, the fan motor is not switched off in an undesirable manner if only contamination, but not blocking, is present.

  • Publication number: 20130171939
    Abstract: A wireless networking method includes placing a master device and at least one peripheral device within proximity of each other. A radio frequency request for proximity pairing is transmitted from the peripheral device to the master device. Radio frequency proximity pairing signals implementing the proximity pairing are transmitted from the master device to the peripheral device.

  • Publication number: 20130173913
    Abstract: A method of arming or disarming a building security system includes transferring an electronic security credential file from an authorizing environment to a mobile computing device. The electronic security credential file is read by the mobile computing device to extract authentication data. The authentication data is transmitted from the mobile computing device and received at the building security system. Within the building security system, the authentication data is used to verify that a user of the mobile computing device is authorized to communicate with the building security system. The mobile computing device is enabled to communicate with the building security system only if the electronic security credential file has been used to verify that a user of the mobile computing device is authorized to communicate with the building security system.

  • Publication number: 20130167744
    Abstract: A method for regulating a web tension in a processing machine for processing a product web, in particular a shaftless printing press, includes separating a first product-web section from a second product-web section by a delay section. The web tensions in the first and second product-web sections are influenced by first and second actuators, respectively. To regulate the web tension in the first product-web section, the method further includes defining a regulation output value from which an actuating command for the first actuator is derived. An actuating command for the second actuator is defined from the regulation output value and a delay element to decouple the web tension in the second product-web section from the regulation of the web tension in the first product-web section. The delay element delays the effect of the regulation output value on the actuating command for the second actuator by a delay time.

  • Publication number: 20130160873
    Abstract: A pressure-regulating arrangement includes a main line through which a flow can pass from an intake to an output and in which an adjustable nozzle is arranged. The pressure-regulating arrangement further includes a pressure-regulating valve having a pressure connection which is connected to the main line downstream of the nozzle. A valve body of the pressure-regulating valve is movable from a basic position in an opening direction to increase an outlet pressure of an outlet connection. A first pressure which is tapped off from the main line upstream of the nozzle acts in the opening direction. The outlet pressure and a second pressure, which is tapped off from the main line downstream of the nozzle, act in a closing direction, which is opposed to the opening direction, in order to reduce the outlet pressure.

  • Publication number: 20130160883
    Abstract: A hydraulically controlled accumulator-chamber valve has a closing element and a tappet. The closing element is prestressed via a first compression spring and seals a valve seat in a valve body. The tappet reaches through a leadthrough in the valve body and is moved by an accumulator piston. The accumulator piston is loaded by a second compression spring. The tappet is moved to press the closing element out of the valve seat when there is a specified balance of forces between the spring prestressing forces and a hydraulically active force. The closing element and the tappet are configured as a single-piece component, in order to guide the tappet in the leadthrough in a longitudinally movable manner. The tappet bears against an end face of the accumulator piston during an opening movement.
