20090134245	PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR AND INJECTOR COMPRISING A PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A piezoelectric actuator and an injector for an internal combustion engine are proposed, the electromagnetic compatibility of which is significantly improved in comparison with conventional injectors. The actuator head and/or actuator foot is manufactured out of a ceramic material, thus reducing the capacitance of the electric capacitor that is formed between the electrical ground and the piezoelectric actuator. An advantage of the piezoelectric actuator according to the invention is that no additional components are required. The change from metallic materials to ceramic materials also increases the rigidity of the piezoelectric actuator since ceramic materials have a significantly higher modulus of elasticity than metals.	05-28-2009

20090197217	Robot and method for bending orthodontic archwires and other medical devices - A robotic bending apparatus for bending archwires and other types of elongate, bendable medical devices into a desired configuration includes a first gripping tool and a moveable gripping tool. The first gripping tool can be either fixed with respect to a base or table for the robot or positioned at the end of robot am. The moveable gripping tool is mounted to the end of a moveable robot arm having a proximal portion also mounted to the base. The robot preferably comprises a six axis bending robot, in which the distal end of the moveable arm can move relative to the fixed gripping tool about three translational axes and three rotational axes. The gripping tools preferably incorporate force sensors which are used to determine overbends needed to get the desired final shape of the archwire. The robot may also include a resistive heating system in which current flows through the wire while the wire is held in a bent condition to heat the wire and thereby retain the bent shape of the wire. A magazine for holding a plurality of straight archwires needing to be bent and a conveyor system for receiving the wires after the bending process is complete are also described. The robot bending system is able to form archwires with any required second and third order bends quickly and with high precision. As such, it is highly suitable for use in a precision appliance-manufacturing center manufacturing a large number of archwires (or other medical devices or appliances) for a distributed base of clinics.	08-06-2009

20090312143	METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A HYBRID DRIVETRAIN - A method for controlling a hybrid drivetrain of a motor vehicle such that, during a thrust operation of the vehicle, a change takes place from a combustion-powered driving mode, in which the combustion engine is in a thrust operation, the separator clutch is engaged and the electric machine contributes no force, or from a combined driving mode in which the engine is in a thrust operation, the clutch is engaged and the electric machine operates as a generator, to an electric driving mode in which the engine is switched off, the clutch is disengaged and the electric machine operates as a generator. To efficiently change driving modes, the clutch is partially disengaged to a slip limit; the clutch is then completely disengaged; and when the clutch reaches the slip limit, the generator torque of the electric machine is increased inversely to the torque that can be transmitted by the clutch.	12-17-2009
20090312144	METHOD TO CONTROL A HYBRID DRIVE TRAIN - A method of controlling a hybrid drive train of a vehicle having, in series, an internal combustion engine, a clutch, an electric motor and a transmission with an output connected to the drive axle. During traction operation, the vehicle changes from an electric driving mode into a combination driving mode or a combustion engine driving mode, in that the clutch is engaged and the combustion engine torque is temporarily increased. The method includes regulating engagement of the clutch at least until reaching a starting rotational speed of the combustion engine such that the acceleration of the combustion engine occurs according to a predetermined progression of rotational speed and that the torque of the combustion engine is increased by the same amount as the transferable torque of the clutch is increased by the engagement process.	12-17-2009

The method comprises the steps of engaging the clutch, from its fully disengaged condition, into a slipping condition and disengaging the starting element, starting from a fully engaged condition, into a slipping condition. Once the engine begins rotation, the clutch is maintained in the slipping condition until the rotational speeds of the engine and the motor correspond with one another. Then the clutch is completely engaged; the transmission starting element, from the slipping condition, is completely re-engaged when a difference between the drive output speed and the engine or electric motor speed reaches or exceeds a specified value.	05-26-2011
20110130911	METHOD FOR OPERATING A DRIVE TRAIN - A method of operating a drivetrain of a motor vehicle which comprises a hybrid drive with a combustion engine coupled by a clutch to an electric motor. To start the combustion engine with the electric motor, the clutch is partially engaged to a slipping condition to deliver electric motor torque from a starting value, the torque transmitted by the clutch is increased to a first final value. If during this, the combustion engine begins turning, the break-away torque of the internal combustion engine is determined. If the combustion engine does not begin turning, the clutch is further engaged to a slipping condition starting from a second initial value, such that torque transmitted by the clutch increases linearly until the combustion engine begins turning, and the break-away torque of the internal combustion engine is determined from the clutch torque at which the combustion engine begins turning.	06-02-2011
20110130912	METHOD FOR OPERATION OF A DRIVE TRAIN - A method of operating a drive train of a motor vehicle in which the drive train comprises at least a hybrid drive with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, a clutch connected between the combustion engine and the electric motor, a transmission arranged between the hybrid drive and a drive output, and preferably a transmission-internal or -external starting element. When the combustion engine is entrained into motion with the help of the electric motor, the clutch connected between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor is partially engaged to a slipping condition where the clutch transmits a constant torque, and during this entrainment, and comparing an actual gradient of the combustion engine's speed produced with a nominal gradient of the combustion engine's speed. When the actual gradient is greater than the nominal gradient, the method concludes that the combustion engine is started and actively providing torque.	06-02-2011

20090147795	TCP Traversal Through Network Address Translators (NATS) - A network address translator (NAT) can be provided as part of a gateway between a private network and a public network. In situations where an entity in a private network requires establishment of a TCP connection to another entity in a separate private network, it is often the case that two NATs must be traversed one for each private network. In addition, these NATs may have associated one-way firewalls which block unsolicited incoming connections but allow outgoing connections. In this type of situation it is difficult to establish a TCP connection directly between the two entities in a simple and effective manner. We describe a method for achieving this which makes use of a redirection server in the public network to establish the connection but not to carry traffic during the communication session. We exploit features of the TCP simultaneous open process to establish a TCP connection directly between the entities.	06-11-2009
