  • Publication number: 20240088822
    Abstract: For economical and energy-efficient use of a PV system having upright, in particular bifacial, PV modules and to substantially avoid shading of the PV modules, a supporting structure which is simple to manufacture and install is provided, that has vertical posts, which are connected to one another at intersecting points, and horizontally running cross-members such that rectangular mounting areas are provided for individual PV modules. The posts and cross-members are formed in a material-saving manner by conventional profiles, and dividing the posts into two interconnectable sections substantially facilitates the assembly. An electrical connection is provided such that active surfaces which are arranged one above another can be operated at different electrical operating points and such that electrical lines are formed which are operated separately from one another and are arranged in a horizontally running manner. This minimizes effects of shading of PV modules on the efficiency of the energy conversion.

  • Publication number: 20150068275
    Abstract: The invention relates to a test device for simulating motor vehicle crashes, with a slide arrangement which is arranged displaceably along a rail arrangement, a test rig which is arranged on the slide arrangement and on which at least one motor vehicle component to be tested is arranged or is mountable, and with an acceleration unit via which a force is transmittable to the slide arrangement in order to accelerate the latter. With the aim of providing a test device with which the test reproducibility and the test simulation accuracy can be improved and the number of required iteration steps reduced, the test device has at least one sensor element for continuously detecting motion measured values of the slide arrangement.

  • Patent number: 8915491
    Abstract: A method for operating a collection system for printed products includes drawing off the printed products from discharge device(s) disposed at corresponding discharge point(s) in the collection system. The printed products are deposited on a collection section during a cycle period of the discharge device(s) so as to form a bundle of printed products. The bundle is transferred to a subsequent conveying mechanism having receiving pockets. It is determined whether at least one missing printed product exists due to an incorrect drawing off from the discharge point(s). A repair process is initiated and controlled in which the at least one missing printed product is drawn off from the corresponding discharge point(s) at a time corresponding to a subsequent recurrent pocket-related cycle of the subsequent conveying mechanism in a subsequent cycle period of the discharge device(s). The at least one missing printed product is inserted in the relevant receiving pocket.

  • Publication number: 20140305187
    Abstract: The description relates to a method for operating a test device and to a test device for simulating motor vehicle crashes. The test device has a carriage arrangement which is arranged so as to be displaceable along a rail arrangement; a test setup which is arranged on the carriage arrangement and has at least one motor vehicle component to be tested; and an acceleration unit by means of which a force can be transmitted to the carriage arrangement in order to accelerate the carriage arrangement. The acceleration unit has a hydraulic drive cylinder with a piston and a piston rod which is connected to the carriage arrangement. At least one measuring pickup is provided for sensing a pressure which acts in the piston-side region and/or in the piston-rod-side region of the drive cylinder.

  • Patent number: 8317182
    Abstract: A method is provided to control a paper-processing machine. Following an occurrence of at least one error, the error is automatically detected with at least one detection device. Following the detection of the error, a measure is automatically introduced to counteract the error. The measure is then canceled at least in part if the error no longer occurs or the machine is stopped completely if the error is still detected by the detection device following completion of a predetermined criterion.

  • Patent number: 5264254
    Abstract: An electrostatical powder coating method starts out from a metallic surface provided with an oil film as a protection against corrosion during storing and transportation. Resin powder is applied to the surface without prior removal of the oil film. The powder layer is melted in a furnace and subsequently hardened by cooling. It is preferred that an amount of heat is supplied by the furnace which is sufficient to evaporate the oil. Preferably, an oil is used which is stable during heating as long as it remains on the work piece surface. This includes the possibility that all of the oil or at least some components thereof diffuse and evaporate through the powder layer during heating or, alternatively, that part or all of the oil remains on the work piece during the heat treatment and mixes with the powder layer. In both cases the quality of the resin coating is not deteriorated by the oil film.
