Patent number: 11681979Abstract: A method for supply chain management using mobile devices with a server on an electronic data network includes receiving identifying information for a product transmitted from a mobile device via the network, the server being periodically updated with product recall data. The server queries a traceability server via the network for master data and event data related to the product using the identifying information. The server processes the recall data, master data, and event data to produce product data which is output to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Steve Beier, Varun Bhagwan, James Funk, Arthur F. Kaufmann, Suzanna Khatchatrian, Timothy T. Liu, Justin Ormont, Heather M. Underwood

Patent number: 10247061Abstract: A hydraulic valve brake for a hydraulic valve drive of an internal combustion engine is provided. The valve brake includes a housing with a housing wall and with a housing base, and includes a piston which moves axially in the housing and one end side of which, together with the housing wall and the housing base, delimits a hydraulic pressure chamber and the other end side of which actuates a gas exchange valve. The housing wall is perforated in the region of the pressure chamber by one or more overflow openings, the opening cross sections of which are controlled by a control edge, which delimits the end side at the pressure chamber side, of the piston. In this case, it is the intention for the axial distance (h) between the control edge of the piston, when the latter is fully retracted into the housing, and the housing base to be set by a spacer of predetermined thickness (d).Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.
