  • Patent number: 11048240
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device (5) and a safety method for a production station (2) for vehicle body parts (4), and for a conveying means (18) moving into and out of the production station (2) for transporting the workpieces into and out of the production station (2). The production station (2) and the conveying means (18) each have their own controller (13, 21) and their own security circuit (22, 23), wherein the security device (5) connects the security circuits (22, 23) of the production station (2) and of the conveying means (18) located in the production station (2). The security device (5) influences and thereby changes a protection region (29) of a protection device (27) of an intrinsically secure conveying means (18) when moving in and out and within the production station (2).

  • Patent number: 8332868
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and program products for generating time periods and/or due dates are provided. One method comprises providing a period toolset that is accessible by a calling program to perform a plurality of functions performed during runtime. The functions include defining a plurality of period types based on a period duration selected by the calling program. The functions further include generating a first period stream based on one of the period types. The functions further include mapping the first period stream to a second period stream based on one or more mapping rules selected by the calling program. The functions further include determining a due date for one or more periods of at least one of the first period stream and the second period stream based on one or more due date rules selected by the calling program.
