20110073580 | METHOD TO MONITOR THE LIFE OF THE CONTACT TIP IN ROBOTIC OR AUTOMATIC GMAW - A method of monitoring contact tip useful life in a welding torch includes measuring at least one of welding current (I) and welding voltage (V) of the contact tip mounted in the welding torch. Deterioration of the contact tip is quantified based on one or both of (i) a decrease of the welding current and increase of a standard deviation of the welding current (sd_I), and (ii) an increase of the welding voltage. Deterioration of the contact tip may be quantified by calculating an index of contact tip life (ITL) based on the welding current and standard deviation of the welding current and/or by calculating a reference index of contact tip life (ITL_v) based on the welding voltage. | 03-31-2011 |

20100103266 | METHOD, DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE SELF-CALIBRATION OF A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA - Video surveillance systems are used, by way of example, for monitoring public places, such as railway stations, junctions, airports, or public buildings, such as libraries, museums, but also private environments, such as an alarm system in houses. To this end, the video surveillance systems often have a plurality of surveillance cameras which observe relevant surveillance scenes. The video sequences produced during observation are usually combined and evaluated at a central location. The invention proposes a method for calibrating a surveillance camera ( | 04-29-2010 |

20080314876 | WELDING SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING CONTROLLED LINER CONTOUR AND WELDING WIRE CURVATURE - A welding system, in certain embodiments, includes a torch having a neck with an arcuate portion, and a resilient jump liner disposed in the neck and extending through the arcuate portion. The resilient jump liner includes a pathway having a curvature configured to bend a welding wire passing through the pathway. The system also includes an annular support disposed about the resilient jump liner inside the neck, wherein the annular support is configured to at least substantially fix the curvature to force the welding wire to achieve a wire curvature. The system also includes a contact tip coupled to the neck, wherein the wire curvature is configured to bias the welding wire into substantially consistent contact with an interior pathway through the contact tip. | 12-25-2008 |
20090152255 | RETAINING HEAD AND CONTACT TIP FOR CONTROLLING WIRE CONTOUR AND CONTACTING POINT FOR GMAW TORCHES - A retaining head for a MIG welding device includes a contact tip mounting end, an opposite retaining head mounting end, and a throughbore extending from one of the ends to the other end. A deflector is disposed along the throughbore and is adjustable for imparting a bend in welding wire passing through the throughbore. The deflector provides a straight wire contour for the welding wire that is fed out of the welding torch, while maintaining sufficient contact force between the welding wire and the contact tip. The deflector also reduces the effect of wire twist on the contact point between the welding wire and the contact tip. | 06-18-2009 |
20100012637 | ROBOTIC GMAW TORCH WITH QUICK RELEASE GOOSENECK LOCKING MECHANISM, DUAL ALIGNMENT FEATURES, AND MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS - A gooseneck locking mechanism for a robotic GMAW torch having a torch body and a gooseneck includes a connector receiver disposed in the torch body. The connector receiver includes longitudinal ends and a passageway extending between the longitudinal ends. An indexing feature is disposed in the passageway. An elongated connector is mountable on a proximal end of the gooseneck. The connector includes a cooperable indexing feature. The locking mechanism further includes a detent for joining the connector receiver and the elongated connector. The indexing features align the gooseneck relative to the torch body, and the detent secures the connector in the connector receiver for quick release. The locking mechanism may include a plurality of electrical contacts in the connector receiver that are engageable with the connector to provide flow of electrical current through the connector receiver to the gooseneck. | 01-21-2010 |

20090114725 | VALUE DOCUMENT, IN PARTICULAR A POSTAGE STAMP, WITH A SECURITY ELEMENT - A value document, in particular a postage stamp, which contains an optically recognizable security element in the form of a two-dimensional structure. Accordingly, the security element has a resolution of at least 300 dpi which makes it difficult to electronically reproduce the security element and therefore protect against the production of counterfeit postage stamps. | 05-07-2009 |
20090115184 | FORGERY-PROOF VALUE DOCUMENT AND METHOD FOR ITS EXAMINATION - A forgery-proof value document, in particular a postage stamp, is examined for its authenticity. The value document contains a two-dimensional area with a security element in the form of a two-dimensional structure. The two-dimensional area is provided with, for example printed with, at least one first and at least one other substance. When illuminated with light that is visible to the human eye, the two substances have the same hue and different hues when illuminated with infrared light. The security element is placed on the value document by use the first substance, the remaining part of the area by use of the at least one other substance. When illuminated with visible light the entire two-dimensional area appears in the same hue. When illuminated with infrared light the security element is optically distinguished from the remaining area. | 05-07-2009 |

20120311386 | CONFIGURATION DEVICE FOR THE GRAPHICAL CREATION OF A TEST SEQUENCE - A configuration device for the graphical creation of at least one test sequence for controlling a test device having at least one electronic computer. The test device is controllable according to the created test sequence. The configuration device has at least one display device, graphical library functional elements being displayed with the display device in a library field. The test sequence can be created by placing at least one instance of a library functional element in a configuration field. The instance of a library functional element is placed in the configuration field. The graphical library functional element can be provided with a function placeholder, whereby the function placeholder in the instance of the library functional element can be provided with an instance functionality, whereby the reference of the instance of the library functional element to the library functional element is retained. | 12-06-2012 |

20140019020 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A GEAR BRAKE FOR AN AUTOMATED CHANGE-SPEED GEARBOX - A method of controlling a transmission brake of an automated change-speed transmission having a control cylinder, that is pressurized by inlet and outlet valves, and an upstream main cut-off valve by which a nominal pressure, supplied to the control cylinder, is regulated. Functional deviations of the transmission brake can be considered during a shifting operation, when the transmission is in neutral, the motor coupling clutch is disengaged and the transmission brake is engaged. The rotational speed gradient and the mass of the transmission components to be braked are determined and used to calculate the current braking torque of the transmission brake. The current braking torque relates to the current regulated nominal pressure, and the determined values are stored in a control unit and used during subsequent actuation of the transmission brake. | 01-16-2014 |

20140309901 | CONTROL DEVICE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME - A control device for a motor vehicle such that during a driving direction change from an original direction and/or during a starting process and/or during a stopping process and/or during a rolling process, in order to assist with the driving direction change and/or starting process and/or stopping process and/or rolling process, an appropriate control signal is provided by the control device to automatically activate a service brake. The control device automatically determines the friction energy produced at a starting clutch, during the driving direction change and/or starting process and/or stopping process and/or rolling process, without activation of the service brake. The control device only automatically activates the service brake, to assist with the driving direction change and/or starting process and/or stopping process and/or rolling process, if the determined friction energy exceeds a limit value. | 10-16-2014 |
