  • Data processing structure
    Patent number: 7047342
    Abstract: A data processing structure comprising a plurality of processors ad a data bus for a data communication with a serial data structure. The plurality of processors can be respectively coupled in parallel to the data bus, and a data communication via the data bus with one of the processors, preferably a programming of the processor, is authorized for the same, but is blocked for all of the other processors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2006
    Assignee: Wittenstein AG
    Inventors: Andreas Krug, Thomas Kalker
  • Load-adaptive control system, in particular for transport devices and used in aircraft
    Patent number: 6766683
    Abstract: The invention relates to a monitoring unit (5) for monitoring a first control value (Inom) for overshooting or undershooting of a threshold value (Imax) with the first control value (Inom) being used for controlling an apparatus (3). The monitoring unit (5) in this case has determination means (10, 20, 30, 40, 45) for determining the threshold value (Imax) from an instantaneous value (Is) of the first control value (Inom) when the apparatus (3) reaches a predetermined operating state, and monitoring means (50, 60) for monitoring the first control value (Inom) for overshooting or undershooting of the determined threshold value (Imax) after the apparatus (3) has reached the predetermined operating state.

  • Data processing structure
    Publication number: 20040139263
    Abstract: The invention relates to a data processing structure comprising a plurality of processors (20i) and a data bus (100) for a data communication with a serial data structure. The plurality of processors (20i) can be respectively coupled in parallel to the data bus (100), and a data communication via said data bus (100) with one of the processors (20i), preferably a programniing of said processor (20i), is authorised for the same (20i), but is blocked for all of the other (20j) processors.
