  • Patent number: 8191071
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supervising a task-based data processing, wherein for a plurality of tasks the following steps are performed for each task: scheduling the task for processing, and logging the scheduling of the task by storing a task identifier in a log memory, said task identifier identifying the scheduled task and being assigned to the scheduled task. The task identifiers stored in the log memory form a task history pattern of scheduled tasks. By means of the task history a pattern may be detected for determining whether a failure appears in the task-based data processing. At least one safety measure is taken when a failure is detected.

  • Patent number: 7926789
    Abstract: The invention relates to lifting gear having a drive unit (2), a drive shaft (3), which has a drive flange (4) fixable thereon and can be driven by the drive unit (2), and a cable drum (5) that can be connected to the drive flange by means of a coupling, said coupling comprising at least one coupling element (10) engaging in a recess (11) in the drive flange (4) and in a hole (12) in the cable drum (5) to transmit torque. In order to equip a lifting gear having a drive unit comprising a motor and a gearbox with a coupling, which ensures simple assembly with a simple and space-saving design, according to the invention the coupling element (10) is movable and fixable radially from an assembly position into an operating position, in which the coupling element (10) connects the drive flange (4) to the cable drum (5) in a driveable manner.

  • Publication number: 20100191465
    Abstract: A method is provided for outputting an item of directional information, which corresponds to an item of location information displayed on a traffic sign, which location information is assigned to a section of the route that follows when viewed from a current section of a route, and in the case of a plurality of items of location information assigned to the following route section, preferably the particular item(s) of location information is/are used as basis for the output of the directional information that exhibit(s) the greatest frequency for the route sections following the following route section, as well as a system for implementing the method.

  • Patent number: 6634515
    Abstract: A lifting apparatus includes two parallel longitudinal members interconnected by at least one connecting element. A lifting beam is movable by a drive mechanism along the longitudinal members and supports, directly or indirectly, a handling device. Extending parallel to and supporting the lifting beam is a guide rail, which is received in spaced-apart carriages, for displacement in longitudinal direction in a freely running manner, as the lifting beam is moved by the drive mechanism. The carriages are arranged in a space between the longitudinal members and secured to the connecting element, wherein the longitudinal members and the lifting beam are formed with longitudinal grooves for engagement of sliding blocks so that the connecting element, the drive mechanism and the carrying unit are securable to the longitudinal members in any desired longitudinal position, and the guide rail is securable to the lifting beam in any desired longitudinal position.
