  • Patent number: 12586897
    Abstract: A redirecting rotating mirror arrangement includes a directional antenna subcomponent having a direction of maximum received or transmitted beam intensity. The redirecting rotating mirror arrangement also includes a rotatable mirror that reflects an electromagnetic beam to or from the directional antenna subcomponent. The rotatable mirror is inclined at an inclination angle with respect to a horizontal plane. The arrangement also includes a motor that rotates the rotatable mirror about the direction of maximum received or transmitted beam intensity such that the electromagnetic beam is either received from or transmitted to a range of angles as the rotatable mirror rotates.

  • Publication number: 20250342948
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically, dynamically approving an operating mode of a system, wherein the device has a user interface and a control unit, which is programmed to automatically determine the most recent measured value available from a database with regard to a plurality of parameters recorded on the basis of an input made by means of the user interface as required for an operating mode to be approved, to compare the determined measured value in each case with a setpoint value and/or a tolerance range surrounding this and to output an indication of the comparison result and its criticality by means of the user interface for each determined measured value, preferably directly adjacent to the measured value, wherein the output by means of the user interface is in the form of an overview of the parameters recorded as required, which enables a user to centrally approve or reject the operating mode to be approved with regard to the plurality of parameters recorded as required.

  • Patent number: 12378956
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a component with moulded-on seal, in particular a pump component. The component is laid in an injection-moulding tool, then a sealing material is injected from an injection gate into the injection-moulding tool and fills a cavity on one side of the component. Sufficient sealing material is injected for a part of the sealing material to pass from the cavity, via an overflow channel connected to the cavity, into an overflow chamber which is provided inside the contour of the component. A component can includes the moulded-on seal.

  • Patent number: 12210903
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor indexes system documents of a computer system using a text search engine, resulting in a search index, where the computer system is described by a set of system parameters with values stored in the system documents. A processor provides a set of scheduling rules for allocating computing resources of the computer system, each scheduling rule comprising a search query referencing one or more of the system parameters. A processor executes search queries by the text search engine against the search index, resulting in scored system documents and associated search queries. A processor ranks at least part of the set of scheduling rules using scores of the associated search queries. A processor selects scheduling rules in accordance with the ranking. A processor executes the selected scheduling rules for scheduling a workload on the computer system.

  • Patent number: 12164911
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for monitoring and auditing secure software builds is disclosed. The computer-implemented includes receiving a build file containing a sequence of build instructions. The computer-implemented method further includes, for each build instruction being executed: determining an indicator value corresponding to a monitoring level associated with a build instruction; and modifying logging of trace information associated with a computing system executing the build instruction based, at least in part, on the indicator value corresponding to the monitoring level.
