  • Patent number: 8050016
    Abstract: Disclosed is a control device, particularly a remote control for industrial appliances, comprising a housing for accommodating the control electronics and at least one control element. The housing (10) is formed by a wall part (11) and holding elements (13, 14) which close the two faces of the wall part (11) and can be interconnected by means of bars (17, 18, 19). Preferably the holding elements are molded plastic parts while the wall part (11) and/or the bars (17, 18, 19) are profiled metal parts. The housing can thus be assembled from simple components, i.e. a wall part and holding elements that close the faces, as basic modules which can be expanded in many different ways, allowing an individually configured control device to be designed like a module or kit. Various requirement levels regarding mechanical stability, durability, service life, production costs, etc. can be met by adequately selecting the materials.

  • Patent number: 7861689
    Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine with at least two cylinders in the case of irregular running caused by combustion problems has the following steps: measurement of a segment time of a first cylinder during a first time interval T1 in the sequence of operations of the internal combustion engine, with a corresponding first signal being transmitted as a first actual value to a control, sensing of pressure fluctuations in the second cylinder during a second time interval T2 in the sequence of operations of the internal combustion engine, with a corresponding second signal being transmitted as a second actual value to a control and changing of operating parameters of the at least one cylinder by means of the control on the basis of the first and second signal, when the first and the second actual value each deviate from setpoint values stored in the control.

  • Publication number: 20070222135
    Abstract: A device for processing and for transporting flat mail items such as documents and/or letters inserted into envelopes, samples, cards, etc., includes a transport route, formed by transport rolls (5, 6, 7) of a transport mechanism (3), one end of this route being configured to load a separation unit (9) with mail items (2) for individual processing. The device includes a separation unit (9), which is designed with a drive roll (6), supported rotatably on a horizontal axis of rotation and extending transversely to the transport direction. The drive roll acts frictionally on the bottom surface of the mail item (2) and cooperates with a queuing mechanism (11), which is installed above (6) and offset from the drive roll in the downstream direction to hold back excess mail items.

  • Publication number: 20040185843
    Abstract: A remote controlled industrial equipment, e.g., a construction unit with at least one transmitter, which includes at least a second receiver that is operable parallel to a first receiver. The receivers are arranged with parts of the industrial equipment widely displaced apart from one another such that a control connection from the transmitter to at least one of the receivers can be established for the purpose of converting control signals of the transmitter into working movements of the industrial equipment. The receivers can therefore establish a continuous control connection up to the respective receiver that finally controls the working units of the industrial equipment, whereby simple and safe control remains ensured even under unfavourable external conditions.

  • Publication number: 20040156186
    Abstract: A control element for a device, specifically a push-button or switch, is provided on at least part of its visible surface with a luminescent substance, which is admixed to the synthetic material of the control element. The luminescent substance provides, over a certain period of time, a luminous density with decreasing intensity, which compared to areas in the vicinity and/or applied symbols, produces an at least sufficiently visible contrast in order to make the control element stand out recognizably.

  • Publication number: 20030210154
    Abstract: A process for the control of a plurality of industrial, construction or mobile hydraulic machines, such as cranes, travelers and similar machines, by means of n remote control units (S1 . . . Sn), allocates the remote control units to k concentrators (K1 . . . Kk), whereby the number (k) of concentrators is smaller than the number (n) of remote control units. Preferably, only a single concentrator (K) is provided. The concentrator (K) provides the signals from the remote control units with a suitable address and transmits them via a common data network, such as the power grid (AC), to which the concentrator (K) and control devices (ST1 . . . STm) for the m power units of the industrial machines to be controlled are connected in such a way that a signal is recognized by its address and converted into the control signal for activation of the respective power unit.
