20150331399 | METHOD FOR THE SECURE AND INTENTIONAL ACTIVATION OF FUNCTIONS AND/OR MOVEMENTS OF CONTROLLABLE INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT - Methods and devices allow the secure, intentional and error-free initiation of different and directly executable industrial functions of machines or similar using a comparatively large-area touch-sensitive entry device, in particular of the touchscreen type. Operating elements or selection fields are depicted on the entry device and the operator is able to find and actuate the operating elements without visual aid or control. Using such touch-sensitive entry device of the capacitive touchscreen type, the provided operating elements or selection fields are identified by applied haptically perceptible markings. In addition, in order to initiate an operating element or an industrial function that is associated with a selection field, the operator selects the field in a first step and makes an entry by a characteristic touch gesture in a second step. This allows the control system to differentiate accidental contact, such as unsighted feeling of an identified operating element, from a deliberate operating action, and thus to reliably prevent unintentional operating actions. | 11-19-2015 |
20150090860 | FOUNDATION SYSTEM FOR RECEIVING THE LOAD OF A HOUSING OR OF AT LEAST ONE HOUSING MODULE OF A SELF-SERVICE MACHINE - A foundation system for receiving the load of a housing or at least one housing module of a self-service machine includes at least one base element, which has at least one support surface for a housing or for at least one housing module of a self-service machine. The base element includes a concrete body and at least one metal carrier element supported thereon, on which the least one support surface for a housing or housing module of a self-service machine is formed, and the metal carrier element can be leveled relative to the concrete body of the base element via at least one adjusting device. | 04-02-2015 |
20150054462 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A CHARGING CONNECTION DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES - A method operates a charging connection device for electric vehicles, the charging connection device including a housing inside which at least one temperature sensor constantly senses at least one temperature value. As an essential feature, the maximum permissible charging current is reduced to a specific value greater than zero if a first threshold temperature of a first temperature value is exceeded and the charging process is interrupted if the first threshold temperature has been continuously exceeded by the end of a first interval or when the at least one temperature value exceeds a second threshold temperature of the at least one temperature value. The proposed method of operating a charging connection device for electric vehicles provides for greater availability, better fault tolerance of the charging connection device while ensuring lower production costs. | 02-26-2015 |
20150028731 | HOUSING FOR RECEIVING ELECTROTECHNICAL COMPONENTS - The invention relates to a housing for receiving electrotechnical components, which housing comprises a first and at least one further housing shell, wherein the first housing shell has a first housing web that forms at least one first sealing face and the further housing shell has a further housing web that forms at least one further sealing face. The first housing web and the further housing web are part of an inner wall of a double-walled casing portion of the housing, wherein at least one resilient sealing element for sealing a transition portion is formed between the housing shells. In the assembled state of the housing shells, the first housing web and the further housing web are aligned one above the other and substantially flush and the longitudinal edges thereof facing each other are arranged at a distance apart from each other. A carrier element formed, which carrier element forms a bridging element between the housing webs and presses the at least one sealing element (i) in the transverse direction to an assembly direction—arrow—of the housing shells or (ii) in the assembly direction—arrow—of the housing shells against at least in each case one sealing face on the first and on the further housing web. | 01-29-2015 |
20130221989 | DETECTING A FOREIGN BODY APPLIED TO AN INPUT MEANS USED FOR AUTHENTICATION - The apparatus for detecting a foreign object mounted in the near range of an input means used for identification and/or authentication includes at least a coupler. The coupler is arranged to supply an oscillating signal to two input terminals of an antenna for generating a standing wave, to supply the oscillating signal with a predetermined level to a detection device, and to couple out, for the detection device, a reflection signal received by the antenna. Furthermore, the coupler is arranged to detect a phase difference between the supplied oscillating signal with the predetermined level and the reflection signal that is coupled out, in order to detect the foreign object. | 08-29-2013 |
20130198101 | METHOD FOR OPERATING AUTOMATIC STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTING OBJECTS TO A PLURALITY OF PERSONS, AND AUTOMATIC STORAGE SYSTEM DESIGNED IN A CORRESPONDING MANNER - The invention relates to a method for operating automatic storage systems ( | 08-01-2013 |
20120228466 | FOUNDATION SYSTEM FOR RECEIVING THE LOAD OF A HOUSING OR OF AT LEAST ONE HOUSING MODULE OF A SELF-SERVICE MACHINE - The invention relates to a foundation system ( | 09-13-2012 |
20110077750 | METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLABLE TECHNICAL DEVICE AS WELL AS A CORRESPONDING CONTROL DEVICE - The invention relates to a method and a control device ( | 03-31-2011 |
20100332017 | CONFIGURATION OF MACHINE PROCESSES - The invention relates to a method enabling a user to create, edit, monitor and/or optimise the overall machine process of a programmable machine or system assisted by a graphics editor. The programmable machine or system is initially put together as a system of individual machine units which are involved in the overall machine process during certain times by running a number of partial machine processes. These partial machine processes of the machine units involved in the overall machine process are firstly synchronised with one another once they have been set up and parameters are then set for them. All of the aforementioned method steps take place in a two-dimensional process diagram created by the graphics editor, in the diagram area of which all the partial machine processes involved in the overall machine process are plotted by means of assigned process symbols. The process symbols are positioned or repositioned by the graphics editor so that they are arranged in a machine component dimension based on their assignment to a machine unit and in a time dimension based on the synchronisation of their associated partial machine processes with other partial machine processes of the same machine unit or with partial machine processes of other machine units. | 12-30-2010 |
20090021124 | CABINET WITH MULTI-COMPARTMENT CABINET BODY - A cabinet provided with a cabinet body having at least one vertical row of superimposed compartments which are separated by shelves and which can be opened and closed with compartment doors articulated on the cabinet. This invention simplifies and substantially reduces the cost of parts and of mounting the cabinet. Thus, a joint rod extending over a height of the cabinet body is assigned to each vertical row of compartments. The shelves are guided by a shoulder in the hinge zone having the joint rod and are fixed vertically on the joint rod by flange sleeves overlooking the upper and/or lower side of the shelves and their shoulder. The compartment doors which are adjusted to the heights of the compartments bear, on their rear surface, in the hinge zone, housings for the flange sleeves and can be covered with a shroud. The compartment doors can be installed, via the housings, on the flange sleeves oriented towards the compartment shelves and can be pivotally fixed on the flange sleeves by shrouds mounted on the compartment doors. | 01-22-2009 |
