  • Publication number: 20190108697
    Abstract: A method for checking access authorizations in which the entrance zone of the controlled area is divided into two zones that are arranged so that persons wishing to enter the controlled area pass through the first and then the second zone. The first zone is a registration zone having read/send devices. The second zone is an identification zone having cameras that record optical reference data of each person and transmit that and their current position to a server in real time. A real-time map containing the reference data is created based on the datasets. The read/send devices record IDs to which access authorizations and optical reference data are uniquely assigned. The IDs and assigned reference data are temporarily stored in an optical reference list which is compared in real time with the datasets of the real-time map.

  • Publication number: 20120207623
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for delivery quantity control of a reciprocating compressor, wherein the motion of a closing organ (5b) of an automatic suction valve (5) is influenced during at least one part of a cycle of the crankshaft by means of a refraction gripper (6), wherein the method comprises a continuously variable return flow control, wherein the retraction gripper (6) contacts the closing organ (5b) and prevents the same from closing during a first partial segment (K1) of the cycle of the crankshaft, and wherein the retraction gripper (6) is retracted during a second partial segment (K2) of the cycle of the crankshaft and the closing organ (5b) is closed, wherein the retraction gripper (6) is retracted such that the speed of the moving closing organ (5b) is reduced prior to contacting the suction valve (5).
