Patent number: 10403143Abstract: A traffic monitoring system for a traffic area with parking surfaces for vehicles or a freely arrangeable row of vehicles includes overhead radar sensors oriented towards the area for capturing a chronological sequence of digital radar images thereof. An analyzing unit detects vehicles parked on the area and ascertains locations and dimensions thereof from the captured sequence and determines an occupancy state of the surfaces from a data comparison of the ascertained locations and dimensions of parked vehicles with configured geodata of surfaces. The parking surface is occupied or free for a vehicle, and a parking surface for a freely arrangeable row of vehicles is occupied or provided by one or more free parking spaces. An image output unit outputs a map view of the area with marked surfaces and the current occupancy state of the surfaces. The traffic monitoring system allows a more effective monitoring of the area.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Julia Hetz, Thomas Jell, Florian Poprawa, Uwe Reuter, Dirk Wischeropp, Dominik Zoeke, Marcus Zwick

Patent number: 10072601Abstract: Methods and system are provided for operating a fuel system of a stop-start engine system. In one example a method may comprise powering off a lift pump and maintaining a volume control valve in a closed position during an engine stop to maintain a fuel pressure within a fuel rail and one or more fuel injectors. The method may further comprise, in response to determining an engine start is desired, powering on the lift pump, initiating cylinder combustion, and operating a higher pressure pump (HPP) in an unpressurized mode when a fuel pressure upstream of the HPP is less than a threshold and switching to operating the HPP in a pressurized mode when the fuel pressure upstream of the HPP reaches the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Dietmar Hermann, Uwe Reuter, David van Bebber

Patent number: 8051884Abstract: The invention relates to a device for combining two components. A first container accommodates the first component, which is liquid, and a second container accommodates a second, solid or liquid component under negative pressure. A body is provided with a first holder for the first container, in the region of the closure of the latter, and with a second holder for the second container, in the region of the closure of the latter. Displaceable means for piercing the closures are provided within the body. In the case of such a device, the invention provides that the body has two slides mounted in a displaceable manner in it, wherein each slide accommodates a cannula for piercing the respective closure, the cannulas are connected, in the region of their ends directed away from the closure, to an element which connects the cannulas in a liquid-tight manner, and actuating means are provided for moving the slides in the direction of the closures for the purpose of piercing the closures.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2007Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: CSL Behring GmbHInventor: Uwe Reuter
