  • Patent number: 11747460
    Abstract: An apparatus (100) for compensating for weather-independent Doppler expansions in radar signals of a weather radar system (200) is disclosed. The device comprises: a receiving device (110) for receiving a representation (50) of the radar signals, a calculation device (120) and a compensation device (130). The representation includes pixels of a range Doppler matrix. The calculation device (120) is designed to calculate azimuth angles (Azi) for the pixels (75) by means of fine bearing. The compensation device (130) is designed to correct weather-independent Doppler shifts for the pixels (75) based on the calculated azimuth angle (Azi; AziMopu) and thus to compensate for the weather-independent Doppler expansions and to provide them as a compensated representation (150).

  • Patent number: 10070544
    Abstract: A configuration compensates for the pressure in a housing, in which at least one housing wall has a pressure compensation opening which is sealed with a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane is fixed, at least in a material fit to the housing wall and is covered by a protective element. Accordingly, the housing wall has, in the region of the pressure compensation opening, an indentation and/or recess for receiving the membrane. The respective periphery thereof corresponds to a periphery of the membrane and the height thereof corresponds at least to the thickness of the membrane.

  • Patent number: 8031473
    Abstract: A control device has a base plate, a cover plate coupled to the base plate, a cavity formed between the base plate and the cover plate, a circuit carrier disposed in the cavity, and a conducting track carrier electrically coupled to the circuit carrier. The base plate has a continuous recess that is configured and arranged for feeding a casting compound into the cavity between the base plate and the cover plate. The casting compound is embodied to at least partly enclose the circuit carrier and/or the conducting track carrier in a vibration-damping manner.

  • Patent number: 6815649
    Abstract: A device for inductive billet-heating includes a single or multi-layer billet-heating coil (4) for a round billet (5), in which the billet-heating coil (4) is made up of one or more consecutive, galvanically separated zones. The zones are supplied with electrical energy from a three-phase network by means of an electrical switching device and a control unit. The billet-heating coil (4) includes multiple, synchronically regulated zones (Z1, Z2 through Zn) with reference to frequency and phase of inductive field. For a current feed to each zone (Z1 through Zn) of the billet-heating coil (4), a converter (2) with variable frequency and a plurality of modules is provided. The converter includes plurality of power-moderate closed units with DS-network feed and synchronization of phase and frequency of an output voltage.

  • Patent number: 5941137
    Abstract: A controller for a motor vehicle with an automatic transmission is connected to sensors in the transmission and through a communications channel to an engine controller. A gear ratio is varied with actuators for actuating final control elements in the transmission. The transmission and the electronic transmission controller are constructed as an integrated complete system, which includes all of the mechanical, hydraulic and electronic transmission components. A plug forms a pressure and fluid-tight connection between the transmission and the transmission controller secured to a transmission housing.

  • Patent number: 5154513
    Abstract: In order to improve a method for determining the quickly changing, average temperature of a flow of compressible medium such that it is possible to ascertain sudden changes in temperature accurately and with the least possible delay in time, it is suggested that the medium be caused to flow through a throttle point, that the mass flow of medium flowing through the throttle point be determined, that the pressure inside and upstream outside the throttle point be ascertained and that the average temperature be determined on the basis of the mass flow and the pressure inside and outside the throttle point.
