Patent number: 10921108Abstract: In a method for monitoring a magnetic bearing device for an electric rotating machine, a first pair of at least essentially diametrically opposed sensors and a second pair of at least essentially diametrically opposed sensors are arranged in offset relation about an angle. A distance is determined between each of the sensors and a body of rotation arranged inside the first and second pairs of sensors. A first average distance is determined from distance values of the first pair of sensors and a second average distance is determined from distance values of the second pair of sensors. A first change in the first average distance is captured and a second change in the second average distance is captured. The first and second changes are compared and a warning signal is outputted when a difference between the first and second changes exceeds a limit value.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Joachim Denk, Bert-Uwe Köhler, Dietmar Stoiber, Frank Viering

Publication number: 20190219482Abstract: In a method for monitoring a magnetic bearing apparatus a first pair of at least essentially diametrically opposed sensors and a second pair of at least essentially diametrically opposed sensors are arranged in offset relation about an angle. A distance of each of the sensors from a rotating body arranged inside the first and second pairs of sensors is determined by temporal averaging of a plurality of distance measurements. The distances of the sensors from the rotating body are compared and a warning signal is outputted when a difference in the distances exceeds a limit value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2019Publication date: July 18, 2019Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventor: Bert-Uwe Köhler

Patent number: 6392389Abstract: In a method for monitoring the charging of gastight alkaline rechargeable batteries, the characteristics of the critical charging voltage (Ucrit) on a rechargeable battery are determined as a function of the charging current (I) for various temperatures (T) and are linearized by means of a function in the form A(I)×T+B(I). The value pairs A and B are stored as parameter arrays in a battery management system, and during operation of a physically identical rechargeable battery which is to be monitored, the associated critical charging voltage is calculated by measuring the temperature and charging current and is used to control the charging of the rechargeable battery. On reaching the critical charging voltage (Ucrit) which corresponds to the critical state of charge (LZcrit), the value of the critical state of charge can be calculated by measuring the current (I) and temperature (T).Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2001Date of Patent: May 21, 2002Assignee: NBT GmbHInventor: Uwe Köhler
