  • Patent number: 7853434
    Abstract: The invention relates to an inventive method and a corresponding control system according to which: during the operation of the technical installation, each component that is in operation or out of commission triggers an evaluation of at least one other component by means of a value; the values of each component are totalled and the totalled values are used to determine the next components that are to be activated or deactivated. At least one initialization value is assigned to at least one component and added to the totalled values of the component.

  • Patent number: 7790083
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a throttle valve unit having a housing part and a valve flap part that can move in relation to it includes the steps of injection molding the housing part of a first plastic material in a first cavity, transferring the molded housing part to a second cavity spatially decoupled from the first cavity, and injection molding the movable valve flap part out of a second plastic material in a second mold cavity inside the molded housing part. Before the molded housing part is transferred to the second cavity, it is subjected to an intermediate treatment in order to influence the shrinkage behavior, thereby selectively adjusting the gap geometries between the parts.

  • Patent number: 7181321
    Abstract: In a technical system a plurality of values associated respectively with a component are stored in at least one computer unit. The computer unit is enabled to trigger an evaluation of at least one other component with a value when a component begins or terminates operation, and the values of each component are added. The computer unit is also enabled to determine which components should be started or stopped based on the added values.

  • Publication number: 20040161715
    Abstract: The invention relates to the economical operation of a technical system (10) consisting of several components (1,2,3 . . . 8). According to the inventive method, in each operating or non-operating component, an evaluation of at least one other component with a value (WZ1, WZ2, WZ3) is continuously triggered, the values of each component (1,2,3 . . . 8) are added, and the components are selected as to which is the next to be started or stopped from the added values. The invention also relates to a device (9) which is characterised in that a plurality of values (WZ1, WZ2, WZ3) associated respectively with a component are stored in at least one computer unit (20); whereby the computer unit (20) is enabled to trigger an evaluation of at least one other component with a value (WZ1, WZ2, WZ3) when a component begins or terminates operation, and the values of each component being added. The computer unit (20) is also enabled to determine which components should be started or stopped based on the added values.

  • Patent number: 5649429
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air conditioner for motor vehicles, with a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator, all traversed by a refrigerant in a refrigerant circuit in the above sequence. An air distribution duct leads to the vehicle interior, where the evaporator is located and can be exposed to an air flow. The air flow can be adjusted optionally by means of a servo-controllable flap to supply fresh air or to recirculate the air. A pressure sensor is located between the evaporator and the expansion valve of the refrigerant circuit for safety reasons, to detect the refrigerant pressure in the vicinity of the evaporator. If the refrigerant pressure drops below a presettable minimum acceptable limiting value, the sensor generates a pressure signal that sets the flap controlling the air stream to supply fresh air and activates the corresponding blower as well as an optical and/or acoustic warning device.

  • Patent number: 4281297
    Abstract: A filter circuit utilizing charge transfer delay lines having individual CTD elements utilizing four-terminal resonators each of which is designated as a self-contained closed looped circuit and which determine the frequency dependent transmission characteristics of the filter circuit and wherein successive four-terminal resonators are interconnected by way of a coupling circuit. The invention utilizes the coupling circuit mounted between adjacent four-terminal resonators which are constructed simply as possible and utilizing integrated circuit techniques. Amplifiers are connected in parallel with the input and/or the output of the individual four-terminal resonators and the signal flow direction of the amplifiers corresponds to that of parallel connected CTD lines and the series lines of the coupling circuit and the amplifiers have unidirectional transmission characteristics and an inverting amplifier is contained in at least one of the series lines.

    Abstract: An electrical filter circuit comprising charge transfer devices formed as lines consisting of individual CTD elements formed as four-terminal resonators formed as closed looped circuits and which determine the frequency-dependent transmission behavior of the filter circuit and wherein the four-terminal resonators are interconnected by way of a coupling circuit. In the invention, the filter circuit functions as a separating and shunt circuit and can be formed as an integrated circuit with two end resonators designed as self-contained closed looped circuits.

  • Patent number: 4267535
    Abstract: A switching circuit (2) consisting of CTD lines (p.sub.1,q.sub.1,p.sub.2,q.sub.2,p.sub.3,q.sub.3) is specified in which the properties characteristic for non-unidirectional microwave lines (FIG. 1) are also retained for CTD switching circuits (FIG. 2). To that end, CTD lines (for example, p.sub.1,q.sub.1) exhibiting mutually opposing conducting directions are combined into a line pair and each incoming line (p.sub.1) is connected with each out-going line (q.sub.1). The connection ensues partially via CTD lines (c.sub.1 +c.sub.1 ') and, for the other part, via a galvanic line (L.sub.1). Such switching circuits can be employed for the construction of CTD filters with steepness-increased transmission characteristic and also for the construction of correcting circuits.

  • Patent number: 4266205
    Abstract: A resonator circuit formed in MOS technology for scanned analog signals, wherein such circuits are constructed for use with accumulators and information processing is accomplished by means of switched capacitors which are charged or respectively connected to each other by way of clock pulse transistors. In the present invention, the realization of general ladder networks or branching circuits for builders in single layer MOS techniques is accomplished by utilizing a second continuous branch which is switched to a first accumulator stage by clock pulse switches and is connected with a reference potential through a capacitor as well as to a further accumulator input through a series switch. The signal series arms are connected with the outputs of the total accumulator arrangement by way of time delay transit elements.
