Patent number: 11753053Abstract: A method for operating a rail vehicle network, in which a plurality of rail vehicles travel. The rail vehicles determine their respective position in the rail vehicle network by forming position information. Each of the rail vehicles transmits its position information to a route-side central unit, and the central unit forwards the received position information to all rail vehicles in the rail vehicle network. The rail vehicles each have their own collision monitoring unit, which checks the received position information for a possible risk of a collision with one or more of the other rail vehicles, and generates a collision warning signal in the event that a collision risk is established.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Walter Hammer, Christian Stroessner

Patent number: 11590993Abstract: A method for displaying secondary signal devices for a driver of a railway vehicle during a journey by a railway vehicle. From a current vehicle position of the railway vehicle and an already known signal position of a secondary signal device, an actual distance of the railway vehicle in relation to the secondary signal device is determined. In the case that the actual distance is not reached in respect of a predefined current warning distance of the railway vehicle relative to the secondary signal device, a proximity of the railway vehicle relative to the secondary signal device is displayed to the driver.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2017Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Walter Hammer, Matthias Alexander Weber

Patent number: 9065776Abstract: An addressable node unit includes connections for at least two lines via which the node unit can be addressed. The connections are connected to a circuit which evaluates an addressing signal. The node unit includes at least one power source which is supplyable with power via at least one of the lines. A switch is provided in the path between the evaluating circuit and the corresponding line connection, the switch being opened after an addressing process so that the power supply of the evaluating circuit is ensured by the at least one power source after the addressing.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: RADICOS TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Luan-Vu Tran, Walter Hammer

Publication number: 20140075681Abstract: A pencil-sharpener tool for carpenter pencils includes a housing, a pencil-tip-insertion hole, and a hex-bit-drive hole. The pencil-tip-insertion hole may configured in to receive a portion of a carpenter pencil. The hex-bit-drive hole may extend at least partially through the housing opposite the pencil-tip-insertion hole. The hex-bit-drive hole may also be in axial alignment with the pencil-tip-insertion hole and the central axis of the housing. The housing, the pencil-tip insertion hole, and the hex-bit-drive hole may be in fixed relation to each other, and may move in unison when the hex bit is inserted inside the hex-bit-drive hole and rotates clockwise or counterclockwise.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Inventor: Walter Hammer

Patent number: 7099474Abstract: A key and lock device comprises a key having a first electronic circuit and a lock having a second electronic circuit. The key and the lock store secret information, some of which is unique for each device. The key and the lock exchange a random number through connectors and perform a calculation in the respective circuitry based on the random number and secret information. An electrical blocking mechanism is moved to a non-blocking position if a comparison of the calculations in the circuits gives the correct result.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2000Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Assa Abby ABInventors: Inge Lidén, Rolf Norberg, Björn Magnusson, Johan Warnström, Reijo Hakkarainen, Hannu Sivonen, Gudrun Brennecke, Christophe Chanel, Jens Gürtler, Jürgen Krühn, Alain Varenne, J M Thomas, Lance Schoell, Gilbert Andre, Christian Darmanin, Arnaud Lefebvre, Walter Hammer, Claude-Eric Jaquet, Nicolas Peguiron

Patent number: 4015208Abstract: A frequency generator comprises a quartz crystal controlled oscillator subjected to at least one variable physical parameter such as temperature and has an arrangement for calibrating the frequency with respect to a standard signal with simultaneous compensation for variations of the physical parameter(s). This arrangement comprises a first set of selectable memories storing values to control the division ratio in a dividing chain. These memories are inscribed in a learning period for a few values of the physical parameter(s); simultaneously, digital values supplied by at least one probe, each value corresponding to a range of values of the parameter, are stored in a second set of memories associated with the probe(s).Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1975Date of Patent: March 29, 1977Assignee: Centre Electronique Horloger S.A.Inventors: Walter Hammer, Jean-Claude Martin
