  • Publication number: 20240085494
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure include methods for testing measuring devices n for resources of an energy system assigned to a common measuring device. The method may include: acquiring a measurement signal Pn(t) by way of each of the measuring devices n; acquiring a sum signal PPCC(t) by way of the common measuring device; providing an objective function Z, which defines a difference between the acquired sum signal PPCC(t) and a modeled sum signal {circumflex over (P)}PCC(t), wherein the modeled sum signal {circumflex over (P)}PCC(t) is formed by way of the acquired measurement signals Pn(t) and a respective scaling factor Sn; and computing the values of the scaling factors Sn by extremizing the objective function Z. The test includes determining an error with one of the measuring devices n through a deviation of the computed value of the associated scaling factor Sn from a value defined for the respective measuring device n.

  • Patent number: 5069505
    Abstract: A vehicle seat, especially an air passenger seat, has a front (1) and a rear (2) foot, at least on one side. These feet are connected together, in the area of their upper end, by means of a longitudinal strut (5). The longitudinal strut (5) has a fastening point (6) for a safety belt. The connection between the front foot (1) and the longitudinal strut (5) is designed to prevent rotation, and the connection between the rear foot (2) and the longitudinal strut (5) is designed as a rotary connection which permits motion about an axis that extends perpendicular to the direction of the seat. The rear foot (2) is curved against the front foot (1), between an upper and lower end region, and has a U-profile that is open towards the side.

  • Patent number: 4832408
    Abstract: An upholstery support for a vehicle seat consisting of a first shell with a raised edge and made from a fiber-reinforced plastic and a second shell arranged on the side of the first shell facing the upholstery, which second shell is also made from a fiber-reinforced plastic, is connected with the first shell along the edge of the first shell, covers only portions of the first shell and is spaced from the first shell in predetermined areas. The second shell has a central cut-out and forms, together with the raised edge of the first shell, a hollow box-like frame and in both shells the reinforcing fibers are carbon fibers.
