  • Publication number: 20240081945
    Abstract: A surgical device includes a surgical application part having an electric motor with motor windings and an electrical supply cable having a plurality of lines. The electrical supply cable can be connected to the surgical application part at a first end and to a control unit for controlling the electric motor at a second end. The surgical device includes at least one readout antenna which is integrated/provided in the surgical application part or the electrical supply cable. The at least one readout antenna can be supplied with voltage and, as an additional element separate from the motor windings, can activate and read out an RFID chip that is/can be arranged near to the at least one readout antenna, in order to transmit data bidirectionally between the RFID chip and the control unit via the electrical supply cable.

  • Patent number: 10166756
    Abstract: A temperature control assembly controls the temperature of functional parts of a printing machine. The temperature control assembly comprises a plurality of assembly-side sub-circuits, the temperature of which is to be individually controlled, each sub-circuit having a temperature-control fluid outlet and a temperature-control fluid inlet, on each of which, in order to form a respective temperature control circuit, one or more functional parts can be connected as loads of a temperature-controlling external temperature control sub-circuit by the use of releasable connections, and which, on the feed side of the temperature control thereof, are or can be thermally and fluidically coupled, via respective removal points, to a common feed line, and on the return side, via each return point, to a common fluid return.

  • Patent number: 9174474
    Abstract: A temperature control assembly controls the temperature of parts of a printing machine. A plurality of assembly-side sub-circuits, the temperature of which is to be individually controlled, each comprises a temperature control fluid outlet and a temperature control fluid inlet. An external temperature control sub-circuit, can be connected to each assembly-side sub-circuit to form a respective temperature control circuit. The assembly-side sub-circuits are coupled to a common feed line, which conducts temperature control fluid, in a thermal and/or fluidic manner on the feed side to control the temperature of the assembly-side sub-circuits and to a common return line on the return side. The feed line is connected to a fluid store, which provides temperature control fluid to supply the feed line. The temperature control assembly comprises the common feed line, the fluid store, and an assembly which controls the temperature of the temperature control fluid of the fluid store.

  • Patent number: 7993241
    Abstract: A method for controlling shift process in dual-clutch gearbox having dual-clutch gearbox input shaft connected to a drive engine, having two friction clutches and two partial gearboxes, comprising detecting demand for a shift from source gear into target gear, the source gear and target gear assigned to first partial gearbox; opening friction clutch assigned to first partial gearbox and closing friction clutch assigned to other partial gearbox to transmit drive power via intermediate gear of other partial gearbox; disengaging source gear and temporarily conducting a pressure-exertion process in friction clutch assigned to the first partial gearbox before engagement of target gear, with rotational speed of first partial gearbox being reduced due to the pressure-exerting operation according to drag torque, opening friction clutch assigned to other partial gearbox and closing friction clutch assigned to first partial gearbox to transfer drive power to the target gear without an interruption in tractive force.
