Publication number: 20250067009Abstract: To pave a multi-layer road surface, a first pavement layer is paved along a roadway using a first road paver. A second pavement layer is paved over the first pavement layer using the first road paver or using a second road paver. Upon paving the first pavement layer, paving data is recorded that allows determining at least a progression track traveled during paving of the first pavement layer by a screed outer edge of the first road paver. The paving data is used to control the first road paver or the second road paver when the second pavement layer is paved.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Applicant: JOSEPH VÖGELE AGInventors: Tobias NOLL, Philipp STUMPF, Stefan SIMON, Ralf WEISER, Tobias GROLL

Patent number: 9933323Abstract: A torque measurement system for measuring a torque acting on a rotatable shaft is provided. The torque measurement system includes a first housing portion having a first end adapted to be fixedly coupled to the rotatable shaft and a second end. The torque measurement system includes a second housing portion having a first end spaced apart from the second end of the first housing portion so as to define a gap between the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The second housing portion is adapted to be fixedly coupled to the rotatable shaft. The torque measurement system includes at least one sensor that observes at least one of the second end of the first housing portion, the first end of the second housing portion and the gap and generates sensor signals based on the observation. The sensor signals are indicative of a torque acting on the rotatable shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Pascal Schweizer, Christophe Le Moing, Remy Chaumont, Michael Schulz, Stefan Simon, Andy Mark Nicol
