20080288187 | Method and Device for Detecting the Location of a Pulse-Type Mechanical Effect on a System Part - A method and device detect a position of a pulsed mechanical effect on a plant component. An operating noise in the plant component is continuously recorded by sensors which are arranged on the plant component and converted by the above into a measured signal. The measured signals of the sensors undergo a transformation in a first time window. A first evaluation function is derived from a plurality of first transformations determined in this manner, the evaluation functions display an appearance of the pulsed mechanical effect. Accordingly, when detecting an effect following the second shorter time window having the same algorithms, second transformed and respectively, second evaluation functions are derived, from which, respectively, one time point is determined. Wherein the sound signal produced by the effect impacts upon the sensor. From there, running time differences produced between the sensors can be exactly reconstructed on the position of the effect. | 11-20-2008 |
20090048791 | Method and Device for Detecting a Pulse-Type Mechanical Effect on a System Part - A method and a device for detecting a pulse-type mechanical effect at a system component, include continuously recording an operating noise in the system component with a sensor disposed at the system component and converting the operating noise with the sensor into a measured signal subjected to a mathematical transformation. A sliding mean is calculated by determining quantiles from determined transformations and an evaluation function, which displays an application of the pulse-type mechanical effect on the system component, is derived from the sliding mean. | 02-19-2009 |
20090217504 | Method for the Production of a Collecting Line for Detecting and Locating an Agent Discharging into the Environment of the Collecting Line in Case of Leakage - A method for producing a collecting line, and a collecting line produced according to the method is provided for detecting and locating an agent discharging into the environment of the collecting line in case of leakage. Such a collecting line has a carrier pipe, the wall of which is equipped with openings that are sealed by an elastic material that is permeable for the agent. Accordingly, a hose made of the permeable elastic material, the inside diameter of which is smaller than the outside diameter of the carrier pipe, is elastically expanded by creating a pressure difference between the interior and the exterior of the hose. The carrier pipe is inserted into the radially expanded hose, and the radially expanded hose is attached to the outside surface of the carrier pipe by reducing the pressure difference. | 09-03-2009 |
20090235723 | SENSOR LINE FOR MONITORING FOR AND LOCATING LEAKS AND METHOD FOR ITS PRODUCTION - A sensor line for monitoring for and locating leaks in an installation, in which chlorine escapes to the area surrounding the installation if there is a leak. The sensor line contains a carrier pipe. The wall of the carrier pipe has openings which are closed by at least one layer which is permeable for chlorine and contains a halogen-containing siloxane rubber. | 09-24-2009 |

20090026889 | COMPONENT FOR PIEZOELECTRIC FORCE OR PRESSURE SENSORS, HELD TOGETHER BY AN ELECTRICALLY INSULATING FILM - The invention relates to a component for installation in force or pressure sensors, in particular in a glow plug. The component comprises a disc-type or punched-disc type measuring element consisting of a piezoelectric material, punched-disc type or disc-type electrodes that lie on either side of the measuring element. The electrodes have contact points for contacting conductors. The component comprises in addition a respective transmission body or several transmission bodies that are located outside the electrodes, on either side of the latter. The measuring element, electrodes and transmission bodies are held together mechanically by an external, electrically insulating film. | 01-29-2009 |
20090165739 | SHEATHED-ELEMENT GLOW PLUG - A sheathed-element glow plug is used to be situated in a chamber in an internal combustion engine. The sheathed-element glow plug has a housing, a pin-shaped heating element, which extends partially from the housing and a pressure sensor which is situated in an inner chamber of the housing. A prestressing sleeve is provided, in this context, which applies a prestressing to the pressure sensor. | 07-02-2009 |
20090314061 | Pressure-Measuring Device - A pressure-measuring device is used for placing in a chamber of an internal combustion engine. The pressure-measuring device has a housing, a force-transmitting element in operative connection with a pressure sensor, and a centering element. The pressure sensor is placed, together with contact plates, on a centering section of the centering element, thereby making it possible to position the pressure sensor and the contact plates within the housing of the pressure-measuring device. The assembly of the pressure-measuring device is thereby facilitated, and a preassembly is possibly allowed. | 12-24-2009 |
20090321408 | SEAL FOR A GLOW PLUG - A glow plug for a combustion chamber of a self-igniting internal combustion engine has a ceramic heating element designed as a sheathed-element glow plug, which is surrounded by a supporting tube. The ceramic heating element is sealed with respect to the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine by a seal in the supporting tube. The seal is designed as a sealing element made of an FeNi alloy having an Invar effect. | 12-31-2009 |
20100037698 | PRESSURE-MEASURING DEVICE - A pressure-measuring device is situated in a chamber of an internal combustion engine. The pressure-measuring device has a housing, a force-transmitting element that protrudes partly from the housing at a chamber-side opening of the housing, and a pressure sensor that is situated in an interior space of the housing. The pressure sensor stands in effective connection to the force-transmitting element. In addition, a diaphragm is provided that seals the interior space of the housing, in which the pressure sensor is situated, against the chamber-side opening. The diaphragm, which is preferably fashioned as a metal diaphragm, has a force-transmitting segment that is oriented in an axial direction of the force-transmitting element. Moreover, the pressure sensor stands in effective connection with the force-transmitting element via the force-transmitting segment of the diaphragm. In this way, there takes place at least a partial compensation of thermally caused changes in length of the diaphragm, caused for example by hot combustion gases, and resulting in periodic impairments of the pressure measurement made by the pressure sensor. | 02-18-2010 |
20110005308 | Pressure Measuring Device - A pressure measuring device suitable for disposition in a chamber of an internal combustion engine. The pressure measuring device has a housing, a force transmitting element that is effectively connected to a pressure sensor, and a sensor cage that surrounds the pressure sensor. The sensor cage is connected to the housing by a circumferential weld seam only at one connection segment of the housing. In this way, it is possible to achieve a defined pre-tensioning of a metal diaphragm that is connected on the one hand to the sensor cage and on the other hand to the force transmitting element. | 01-13-2011 |
