Patent number: 9303972Abstract: A position-measuring device includes a code carrier having a first graduation track and a second graduation track, the second graduation track being an incremental graduation track. A first detector system is configured to scan the graduation tracks so as to generate first position signals. A second detector system is configured to scan the second graduation track so as to generate second position signals. A first position-processing unit is configured to process the first position signals so as to yield a first absolute position value. A second position-processing unit is configured to process the second position signals so as to yield a second absolute position value. The first position-processing unit is configured to feed an absolute auxiliary position value to the second position-processing unit. The second position-processing unit is initializable with the absolute auxiliary position value.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2013Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GMBHInventors: Johann Oberhauser, Bernhard Schmied, Jannik Jens Rosenlehner-Emde, Werner Schwaiger, Thomas Schweizer, Hubert Mayer, Marc Oliver Tiemann

Patent number: 8635191Abstract: An archive for digital content comprises archive storage, an archive service and a manifest. The archive storage is a unified storage structure for storing items, such a directory having a plurality of subdirectories. The manifest is stored within the archive storage when the archive storage is loaded onto a storage device, and may comprise an index of items stored in the unified structure of the archive and/or an organizational structure that supports defined categories that characterize items stored in the unified structure and/or at least one backup queue that temporarily queues a list of items that satisfy predetermined backup criteria by have not been backed up. The archive service serves as an intermediate between users, e.g., operators, software modules, programs, services, etc., and the archive storage to control requests for access to items stored in the unified storage structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2012Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Panstoria, Inc.Inventors: Michael Lee Carroll, Paul Thomas Schweizer

Patent number: 8105874Abstract: A memory circuit arrangement and fabrication method thereof are presented in which the parts of the memory circuit arrangement are situated on two different substrates. An integrated memory cell array is situated on one substrate. An integrated control circuit that controls access to the memory cells is situated on the other (logic circuit) substrate. The control circuit controls sequences when reading, writing or erasing content of a memory cell. The logic circuit substrate also contains a CPU and encryption coprocessor. The memory circuit contains a sense amplifier, with the aid of which the memory state of a memory cell can be determined, and a decoding circuit that selects a word or bit line.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2008Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Wolfgang Gruber, Ronald Kakoschke, Thomas Schweizer, Dominik Wegertseder
