  • Publication number: 20240160286
    Abstract: A method for operating a system having a sensor and/or information device and a main device is described. The sensor and/or information device includes a hand garment and a secondary device, with at least one input mechanism. The main device is connected to a database. The method includes the following steps: An actuating signal is generated using the at least one input mechanism. The actuating signal is received by the secondary device, and an input signal is transmitted on the basis of the actuating signal by the secondary device to the main device. An action instruction is generated by way of a main device based on the input signal and based on a predefined action sequence. The action instruction is transmitted to the secondary device. Moreover, a sensor and/or information device, a sensor and/or information system as well as computer programme are described.

  • Publication number: 20240154864
    Abstract: A method for configuring a wearable user equipment for executing sub-processes, wherein the user equipment has a communication link with a device server, and the different the configuration sets for the user equipment associated with sub-processes are saved on the user equipment. The method includes a selection of one of the sub-processes that is to be executed by the user equipment, and an automatic application of the configuration of the configuration set associated with the selected sub-process on the wearable user equipment, wherein the user equipment includes a sensor and wherein the sub-process to be executed by the user equipment is selected by reading information by the sensor and by determining the sub-process to be selected based on the information read. Furthermore, a wearable user equipment as well as a work system are shown.

  • Patent number: 11914771
    Abstract: A method for operating a system having a sensor and/or information device and a main device is described. The sensor and/or information device includes a hand garment and a secondary device, with at least one input mechanism. The main device is designed as a smart device. The method includes the following steps: An actuating signal is generated using the at least one input mechanism. The actuating signal is received by the secondary device, and an input signal is transmitted on the basis of the actuating signal by the secondary device to the main device. An action instruction is generated by way of a main device based on the input signal and based on a predefined action sequence. The action instruction is transmitted to the secondary device. Moreover, a sensor and/or information device, a sensor and/or information system as well as computer programme are described.

  • Publication number: 20180175550
    Abstract: An adapter for receiving a plug connector head, comprising a main body that comprises, on an end face, a through-opening for guiding through the plug connector head at least in part. The adapter is intended to be able to receive the plug connector head irrespective of the geometric design of said plug connector head and therefore irrespective of the manufacturer. For this purpose, a slide element is movably mounted on the main body such that the slide element and the main body form a variably sized receiving space for the plug connector head.

  • Patent number: 9188157
    Abstract: An axial sliding bearing has a sliding ring disposed between two planar, ring-shaped sliding surfaces pressure-stressed against one another. The axial sliding bearing is overload-proof, in particular by about 30% to 80% with regard to the average pressure stress of about 30 to 40 bar per wedge segment that is usual in the case of wedge segment bearings, and at the same time, is not susceptible to axial vibrations, and, in this connection, can be easily produced in terms of production technology, and easily installed, and furthermore does not permit the “snap-over effects” that drastically impair the lubricant wedge effect, so that even under more difficult operating conditions, targeted optimal variation of the wedge angle, adapted to the operating conditions, in each instance, is always guaranteed, and great reliability of the axial sliding bearing, at a long useful lifetime, can be guaranteed, while simultaneously expanding the optimal dynamic supporting range.
