  • Publication number: 20240095645
    Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.

  • Patent number: 11293368
    Abstract: A method for checking the function of a pressure sensor in the air intake tract or gas outlet tract of an internal combustion engine and to an engine control unit for carrying out the method and based on measuring dynamic pressure oscillations of the intake air or the exhaust gas by the relevant pressure sensor and, on the basis of the pressure oscillation signal obtained, respectively determining with the aid of a discrete Fourier transformation for a number of selected signal frequencies in each case a value of a specific operating characteristic of the internal combustion engine and deviation values of the values determined for the different signal frequencies from one another. Depending on whether deviation values determined fall below or exceed a predetermined limit value, the satisfactory function of the pressure sensor is confirmed, or a malfunction of the pressure sensor is diagnosed.

  • Patent number: 9776423
    Abstract: A web-fed inkjet printing press has at least one printing unit and uses a printing material which is configured as a printing material web which is guided or which can be guided through the printing unit and which can be printed by at least one inkjet print head in the printing unit in a printing process with a printing color of a defined hue which is configured as ink. The inkjet print head in the printing unit is directed directly onto the printing material. A printing material web is made from a mechanical paper with a weight per unit area between 3.5 and 80 g/m2 and/or with a surface to be printed with a roughness according Bendtsen of at least 30 ml/min and or a thickness of from 50 to 120 ?m which is guided through the printing unit. The printing material web, in order to be printed, is in interaction indirectly or directly with the at least one inkjet print head of the printing unit.

  • Patent number: 9709016
    Abstract: An ignition device for an internal combustion engine has an ignition coil disposed as a transformer, a spark plug connected to the secondary winding of the ignition coil, an actuatable switching element connected in series with the primary winding of the ignition coil, and a control unit connected to the primary winding and to the control input of the switching element. After charging the ignition coil, building up an ignition spark through non-conductive switching of the switching element, and after renewed conductive switching of the switching element for operating the ignition coil in transformer operation, the supply voltage of the control unit is detected and if a pre-determined value, representing the presence of a surface gap, is exceeded, the switching element is once more switched non-conductive.
