  • Publication number: 20240198406
    Abstract: A method for processing a sheet metal part using a sheet metal working tool of a sheet metal working device, wherein the sheet metal working tool is a cutting blade or a press-brake jaw, wherein a sheet metal part to be processed is fixed on a cutting attachment or on a press-brake attachment by a blank holder, and the sheet metal working tool for processing the sheet metal part, proceeding from an initial position (A), carries out a lowering movement in the direction of the fixed sheet metal part. The sheet metal working tool in the process is lowered in such a way that a sheet metal contact region of the sheet metal working tool impacts the sheet metal part, and the sheet metal part is cut to size or bent by means of the sheet metal working tool.

  • Patent number: 9075123
    Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to a system for the localization of a terminal device using radio signals from radio access points that have been received in the terminal device. The system comprises a unit for providing localization information pertaining to the radio signals from the radio access points, whereby the localization information can be used for the localization of the terminal device. Moreover, the system comprises at least a first radio access point that is connected to the unit via a communication connection and that is configured in such a way that information that is representative of components of the localization information is transmitted to the unit. In this context, the first radio access point can acquire reference signal pattern data for a localization on the basis of pattern recognition, and the transmit power that can be employed for a lateration procedure.

  • Publication number: 20140073349
    Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to a method for the localization of a terminal device by a localization unit that is configured to locate the terminal device on the basis of radio signals received in the terminal device from radio access points. In the method, the activation of the localization is controlled on the basis of the radio signals as a function of an evaluation of radio signals from at least one radio access point that have been detected in the vicinity of the terminal device by at least one receiving unit, and/or as a function of information about installation sites of radio access points. Moreover, the techniques described herein relate to a system that is suitable for carrying out the method.
