Abstract:
Verfahren für eine dynamische Automatisierung, in den kollaborative Elemente, wie im Wesentlichen Menschen und mobile Roboter, aber auch Automaten zusammen kooperieren, um Auftragsabwicklungen möglichst effizient zu gestalten. Jedes dieser kollaborativen Elemente führt genau jenen Teil eines Arbeitsvorganges aus, welcher der Kollaboration bezüglich Effizienz, Flexibilität, Qualität und Leistung am Meisten nützt. In jedem Arbeitsschritt werden die kollaborativen Elemente (KE(I), KE(II)) von einem Leitsystem (2) in eine Ausführungszone (3) geführt, wo sie mittels Kommunikationsmedien (4) unter Einbezug von statischen Ressourcen (5) und allfälliger Automaten (KE(III)) den Arbeitsschritt abwickeln. Der nächste Arbeitsvorgang, der nächste Arbeitsschritt und die Verteilung der Ressourcen im Raum (1) werden vom Leitsystem dynamisch ermittelt, wobei jede Zuordnung zum spätest möglichen Zeitpunkt unter zusätzlicher Berücksichtigung des aktuellen Zustandes des kollaborativen Systems erfolgt. Ein Leitsystem zur Durchführung des Verfahrens wird beschrieben. Anwendungen des Verfahren finden sich in der Logistik, insbesondere der Lagerlogistik, wie etwa der Kommissionierung.

An apparatus (100) for collecting blood samples comprises a sleeve (1) having a substantially cylindrical body (10), hollow on the inside, defining an inner chamber (11) open at the front and rear, a needle assembly (5) comprising a needle-carrier (50) which carries at its opposite ends a first external needle (51) designed to be inserted into the patient's vein and a second internal needle (52) designed to engage in a vacutainer-type test tube, and a safety device (7) having a substantially cylindrical hollow body (70) defining an inner chamber (71) able to receive the vacutainer-type test tube. The safety device is able to support the needle assembly (5) so that the internal needle (52) is disposed axially inside the chamber (71) of the safety device and the safety device (7) is mounted movably inside the chamber (11) of the sleeve (1) to pass from a working position in which the external needle (51) protrudes axially outward from the sleeve (1) to a safe position in which the external needle (51) is protected inside the chamber (11) of the sleeve (1) and the internal needle (52) is protected inside the chamber (71) of the safety device (7).
Abstract:
In a communication network (e.g. HSUPA or LTE), a node such as a NodeB receives from a user equipment (UE) information on the length of a queue of information units to be transmitted to the node from the user equipment. The information, for possible use by the node (NodeB) in scheduling transmission of these information units from the user equipment (UE), is in the form of quantized queue length information indicative of a lower bound and an upper bound for the queue length. Transmission of information units from the user equipment (UE) to the node (NodeB) is detected at the node (NodeB), and an improved estimate of the queue length is produced by correcting the lower bound and the upper bound via subtraction of the number of the detected information units transmitted from the user equipment (UE) to the node (NodeB).
