Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090263186Permanent joint comprised of a fitting, a sleeve and a pipe, as well as fitting for fluid conduits and a sleeve for fluid conduit pipes - A permanent joint includes a fitting, a sleeve, and a pipe. The fitting exhibits a base body, an outer body and a supporting body, wherein the outer body and supporting body form a groove between them, the inner peripheral surface of the outer body exhibits at least one latching groove, and the outer peripheral surface of the supporting body exhibits a sealing surface inclined relative to the axis of the fitting. The sleeve exhibits at least one latching projection arranged on the outer peripheral surface and at least one open slit running in the axial direction, wherein at least one fixing projection is arranged on the inner peripheral surface in the area of the latching projection. The sleeve embraces a pipe end under a pre-stress, wherein the pipe end with the sleeve engages into the groove under a pre-stress, and the latching groove and latching projection create a frictional connection.10-22-2009

20080307290Method for Error Correction of Packet Data - In a method for error correction of packet data, in particular DAB data packets, code words being used over multiple data packets, redundancy information for error correction is added while maintaining the original packet data structure, at the cost of a free data field or a useful data field. The cycle of the error protection is selected as a multiple of a minimum size for a packet length.12-11-2008
20090141697TRANSMISSION OF A DATA STREAM USING OFDM SYMBOLS AT TWO CARRIER FREQUENCIES HAVING OVERLAPPING SUPERFRAMES OF A COMMENSURABLE TIME DURATION - In a method for transmitting a data stream in a digital transmission system, 06-04-2009
20100002609Method and device for transmitting complementary data in an analog radio transmission system - Method and device for transmitting complementary data in an analog radio transmission system, the complementary data including information with respect to alternative transmitting frequencies of the respective program, and the alternative transmitting frequencies relating to digital radio transmission systems. The alternative transmitting frequencies for digital radio transmission systems are transmitted in the AMDS (amplitude modulation data system) format, in that these SCD (service description channel) data are copied into the AMDS format, using mapping.01-07-2010
20100045501Hardware-Efficient Reconstruction for Periodic Non-Uniformly Sampled Signals - Method and apparatus for signal reconstruction enabling the sharing of analog-to-digital converter resources among signals. Embodiments include a signal reconstruction method that allows reconstruction of multiple non-uniformly sampled signals while avoiding unwanted side effects such as aliasing.02-25-2010

20080230676Rubber Mounting, in Particular for a Motor-Driven Pump Unit of a Power Steering System - A rubber mounting, in particular for a motor-driven pump unit of a power steering system, the rubber mounting has a holding flange, a bolt which starts to extend from the holding flange, a rubber element disposed on the bolt, and a fastening eye disposed on the rubber element. The bolt is waisted so that a particularly high flexibility of the rubber mounting in the case of movements in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bolt is achieved.09-25-2008
