  • Publication number: 20240246136
    Abstract: A modular forming tool for the production of essentially rotationally symmetrical parts, includes at least one primary tool and at least one reinforcing tube. The forming tool extends along a longitudinal extension direction and has a workpiece machining surface, a sheath surface, and two end surfaces. The workpiece machining surface contacts or is adapted to contact a workpiece, where the sheath surface bounds the primary tool in a radial direction and the end surfaces bound the primary tool in the longitudinal extension direction. The sheath surface of the primary tool is at least partially conical in shape, such that the inner sheath surface of the reinforcing tube is at least partially conical for the inner sheath surface to contact the sheath surface.

  • Patent number: 10783135
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that achieve eventual consistency of interrelated data in a computing system based on a relationship between the interrelated data (e.g., dependencies between interrelated data) and a configuration of an application programmed to consume the interrelated data. Exemplary embodiments can utilize one or more implicit or explicit dependency graphs, such as an implied or explicit directed acyclic graph corresponding to the interrelated data and the dependencies between the interrelated data. Subsets of the interrelated data can be associated with one or more groups or boundaries in the dependency graphs based on a configuration of applications programmed to consume the interrelated data and/or based on the dependencies between the interrelated data.

  • Patent number: 10515197
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a computer system having processing and memory means operable to provide a monetized online content system. The computer system is coupled to one or more resource modules each having data in the memory means and includes: an interceptor module configured to receive a request from a client for one or more resources available from one or more resource modules, refer the request to one or more of the resource modules configured to fulfill the request, receive one or more responses from one or more of the resource modules, at least one of said one or more responses having one or more events associated therewith, and transform the one or more responses by removing the one or more events associated with the one or more responses prior to presentation of the one or more responses to the client.

  • Patent number: 7525113
    Abstract: An optical scanning unit of a position measuring system for measuring a relative position of a first machine element with respect to a second machine element in a measuring direction. The optical scanning unit includes a support of a scanning grating attached to the first machine element and a detector unit attached separately to the first machine element, wherein a scanning light beam extends from the scanning grating to the detector unit as a free beam.

  • Patent number: 6933492
    Abstract: An optical position transducer is arranged to determine the relative position of two objects. The position transducer includes a scale and a scanning device that is movable in relation thereto. On sides of the scanning device, signal-generating device(s) are provided for generating positionally dependent scanning signals, among which at least one is a deflector element for selectively influencing a light beam's propagation direction. Positioned on sides of the scanning device are adjustment device(s) for spatially adjusting the deflector element, the adjustment device(s) arranged to enable merely one spatial alignment of the at least one deflector element.
