Abstract: A method for automatically supplying or locating data over a communication network comprising: configuring a data source to provide source data over the communication network, the source data being identified by a data identifier in a domain of identifiers; receiving a machine-readable description, the machine-readable description specifying at least one predicate that must be satisfied by the data; labeling data identified by the data identifier with labels at least in part indicative of data predicates that hold true for the data identified by the data identifier or that are satisfiable for the data identified by the data identifier; searching for the data based at least in part on the machine-readable description and the labels; obtaining a solution satisfying the predicate based on the search; and supplying the solution over the communication network to a data consumer.

Abstract: A method for enabling a secure communication with a target device over a network includes: opening an unsecured OPC UA Endpoint by an OPC UA Server that runs on the target device; connecting to the OPC UA Server over the network by an OPC UA Client running on a first device, and requesting the initial device certificate; receiving the initial device certificate by unsecured communication over the network; validating, by the first device, the initial device certificate; establishing, by the first device, a device certificate; encrypting, by the first device, at least the device certificate; sending the encrypted data over the network; decrypting, by the target device, the encrypted data using an initial device private key associated with the initial device certificate to obtain at least the device certificate; storing the device certificate on the target device; and opening a secured OPC UA Endpoint by the OPC UA Server.

Abstract: A device for gas-tight connection includes: a first connection point with a terminal surface; a second connection point with a stationary, predetermined reference surface of a pipe flange connection, which is arranged relative to the terminal surface by an offset angle which is compensated for by angular offset compensation means; and a flanged disc unit. The first connection point includes a central ball-and-socket joint arrangement as angular misalignment compensation means. The central ball-and-socket joint arrangement has a tube section with a convex distal end region configured to interact in an articulated manner with a concave annular region, corresponding thereto, of the flanged disc unit. A side surface region of the flanged disc unit includes at least one adjusting screw for adapting to the offset angle so as to adjust a local distance to a counter-disc fixedly fastened coaxially to a pipe section adjacent to the convex distal end region.

Abstract: A system for action indication determination includes an inputter, first and second processors, and an outputter. The inputter provides the first processor with sensor data from a plurality of sensors. The second processor implements a machine learning algorithm to generate at least one pre-processing rule, where the generation includes utilization of a plurality of training sensor data and associated training action indications. The second processor provides the first processor with the at least one pre-processing rule. The first processor implements a pre-processing algorithm to determine pre-processed sensor data, where the determination includes utilization of the at least one pre-processing rule and the sensor data. The first processor provides the pre-processed sensor data to the second processor. The second processor implements the machine learning algorithm to determine at least one action indication, where the determination includes utilization of the pre-processed sensor data. The outputter outputs the at least one action indication.

Abstract: A method for providing an evaluation and control model for controlling target building automation devices of a target building automation system includes: providing a plurality of pre-trained source evaluation and control models for controlling source building automation devices of a source building automation system; generating for each pre-trained source evaluation and control model a semantic based description of a context in which the model was trained; generating a semantic based description of the context of the target building automation system; retrieving the semantic based description of the context of each pre-trained source evaluation and control model of the plurality of pre-trained source evaluation and control models; and matching the generated semantic based description of the context of the target building automation system and the semantic based description of the context in which the pre-trained source evaluation and control models were trained by using a semantic matchmaking concept.

Abstract: An industrial information identification and retrieval system includes: a crawler; a search engine; a result processor; and a web user interface “web UL” The crawler identifies devices and their associated Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture “OPC UA” servers within a network as identified OPC UA servers. The crawler browses the identified OPC UA servers and extracts and stores data items in a database as extracted data items. The search engine searches the extracted data items and provides search results to the result processor. The result processor determines a score for each search result. The web UI presents the search results according to the scores.
