  • Patent number: 10779545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for producing a baked good. The device comprises an accommodating unit, which is designed to accommodate a capsule, wherein the capsule comprises ingredients for producing a baked good. Furthermore, the device comprises a baking unit, which is designed to bake a dough, and an output unit for outputting a baked good baked in the baking unit. In addition, the device comprises a control unit, which is designed to cause dough, which comprises the ingredients from a capsule inserted into the accommodating unit, to be baked in the baking unit. The control unit is also designed to cause the baked good baked from the dough to be output by means of the output unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100017264
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for selecting a process to be carried out from a plurality of processes, each process being assigned a process result, having a providing device (101) for providing a first statistical demand density for a first process result of a first process from the plurality of the processes within a process interval, and for providing a second statistical demand density for a second process result of a second process from the plurality of the processes within the process interval, a calculating device (103) for calculating a first process gain, which results upon carrying out the first process, as a function of the first demand density and of a number of the first process results of the first process that can be reached up to a predetermined process time, and for calculating a second process gain, which results upon carrying out the first process, as a function of the first demand density and of a number of the second process results of the second process that can be reached up to th

  • Patent number: 5306993
    Abstract: Machines having torques variable as a function of the angle of rotation such as piston driving mechanisms like compressors, cam driving mechanisms, printing machines and looms, are driven by an electric motor in such a way that a trend in angular velocity which is dependent upon the angle of rotation, in particular also a constant angular velocity of the main driving shaft (2) of the driven machine, may be predetermined. To do this the angle of rotation (3) as well as the torque (4) are picked up off the main shaft (2) and fed to an adaptive control system (S) which, starting from the desired values (s0) of the angular velocity as a function of the angle of rotation, applies a corresponding correcting variable (Y) to the electric motor (1) and iteratively adapts it periodically in order to bring the trend in angular velocity of the main shaft (2) into agreement with the desired value (s0).
