  • Publication number: 20250239894
    Abstract: In an installation for the inductive transfer of electric power from a primary conductor system of the installation to a secondary winding of a mobile part of the installation, the mobile part being movable relative to the primary conductor system, and method for operating an installation, the secondary winding is connected to capacitors so as to form an oscillating circuit; a sensor for capturing the value of a physical variable is disposed on the mobile part, the signal of which sensor is provided to a comparison device which generates an output signal depending on the result of the comparison of the value with a threshold value; the mobile part has an overvoltage protector which can be activated and/or deactivated depending on an actuation signal; and the actuation signal is generated by an OR-gate which is provided firstly with a first data flow signal to be transferred from the mobile part to the primary side, and secondly with the output signal.

  • Patent number: 9841956
    Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments for generating reports relating to UI models' compliance with a set of UI style guide rules. A digital UI model is parsed to determine whether a user interface, in a plurality of user interfaces within a software environment, satisfies at least one UI style guide rule in a plurality of UI style guide rules associated with the software environment. The digital UI model defines a plurality of attributes of the user interface. At least one statistical measure is calculated relating to compliance with UI style guide rules. The calculation of the statistical measure is based at least in part on the determination of whether the user interface satisfies the at least one UI style guide rule. A report is then generated identifying the at least one statistical measure, the report configured for presentation on a user interface of a computing device.

  • Patent number: 7276812
    Abstract: A method and a device for non-contact energy transmission from one or more medium-frequency current sources, whose medium frequencies may have deviations around fM, to one or more moving consumers via one or more transmission lines and from or via transformer heads, allocated to the moving consumers, having one or more downstream matching controllers for adjusting the power received from the transmission lines. The currents fed into a matching controller are brought together with the aid of a single switch, depending upon the power demand of the consumers connected to the matching controller. The switching frequency of the switch is selected as a fixed value from a 10%-wide tolerance band around 1/fM. The output voltages of a plurality of matching controllers are able to be parallel-connected via diodes for supplying a consumer.

  • Patent number: 6520706
    Abstract: A support structure flange preform resembles the Greek letter “pi” and has a base with two legs extending therefrom. The preform is composed of a composite material that is formed from tows of woven or braided fiber. The tows are oriented to extend throughout each the base and legs. The preform may be either impregnated with a suitable thermoset resin, or may be unimpregnated so that resin may be infused at a later step of the overall manufacturing process. Two of the preforms are joined to a sine wave-shaped web of the structural beam. The web is formed from uncured, thermoset resin sheets that are reinforced with oriented fibers. The web has two outer laminates that sandwich a syntactic or foamed resin layer in between. The legs of each preform straddle one edge of the web and are shaped to both sides to the precise contours of the web. A laminate strip is positioned against the base of each preform to create a pair of flanges for the structural support member.
