  • Publication number: 20230176554
    Abstract: In a system for optimizing production installations and/or processes of a metallurgical installation each production installation and/or process comprises a separate data management device. Entities of the metallurgical installation that are relevant for the respective part of the production installation and/or process are identifiable by local identifiers and the local identifiers can be used to retrieve data of separate data management devices. Within a central data management device each entity of the metallurgical installation has an associated global identifier. The applicable local identifiers of the separate data management devices are associated with the same entities of the metallurgical installation by the respective global identifier in the central data management device. Optimization involves at least some of the data from the separate data management devices being aggregated and evaluated by means of the global identifiers.

  • Patent number: 11328587
    Abstract: A system for confirming the identity of a vehicle. The device includes: a vehicle control unit in the vehicle to be identified; a vehicle identification device; an external service device designed to interact with the vehicle; a vehicle sensor in the vehicle; and an external sensor. The vehicle identification device establishes a data connection with the vehicle control unit and triggers a physical interaction between the vehicle control unit and the external service device. The vehicle sensor detects the physical interaction and transmits a corresponding vehicle detection value to the vehicle identification device. The external sensor detects the physical interaction and transmits a corresponding external detection value to the vehicle identification device; and the vehicle identification device compares the vehicle detection value and the external detection value with one another and confirms the identity of the vehicle if the two detection values coincide with one another within a predefined tolerance.

  • Patent number: 10310927
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a trace procedure, which traces execution of a computer program, where the program uses different callable modules. A program stack is used to store trace buffer information and an error state, and the modules include calls of the trace procedure. The method includes: (i) when entering execution of a module, storing the current write position of the trace buffer and a cleared error flag in the current frame of the stack; (ii) in case of an error condition during execution of the program, setting the error flag in the current frame; and (iii) when leaving execution of a module, determining if the error flag is set, and if not, then rewinding the trace buffer to the write position stored in the current frame, and deleting the current write position of the trace buffer and the error flag from the stack.
