Devices and methods, in particular computer-implemented methods, for the communication of participants in a traffic infrastructure. A state channel, associated with a distributed ledger technology system, to a second participant is set up at a first participant, and a channel, associated with the state channel, to a third participant is set up at the first participant. A first instruction is sent to the third participant via the channel, such that if a second instruction of the third participant is received via the channel, and if the second instruction fulfills a condition that is a function of the first instruction, the first participant and/or the third participant are controlled as a function of the first instruction or as a function of the second instruction.

Method and device for the communication of participants in a traffic infrastructure

A method for operating a network, a proper subset of the nodes carrying out at least one special task. The method includes assigning a weight to each node, each node having the option as a donor node to conditionally or unconditionally delegate portions of its weight to recipient nodes. Based on the weight of each node, plus portions delegated to it and minus portions delegated by it, the proper subset of the nodes is selected, based on at least one predefined criterion. A portion of a donor node is conditionally delegated to at least two recipient nodes, under the suspending condition that the recipient node does not belong to the proper subset after the selection, and the same portion that is conditionally delegated to multiple recipient nodes is taken into account at most upon acceptance of one of these recipient nodes into the proper subset.

Dynamic assignment of special tasks in distributed networks

A wave power plant includes a platform and at least one coupling member. The at least one coupling member is mounted in such a way as to perform an orbital movement which has a predetermined direction of movement and from which a torque usable for energy conversion can be tapped. A torque compensation device is provided which is designed to essentially compensate or neutralize a reactive torque generated by tapping the usable torque.

Wave power plant

A method for operating a machine located in choppy waters, in particular a wave energy converter, for converting energy from a wave movement of a fluid into another form of energy includes determining measurement variables at a first, relatively early time, and calculating a variable characterizing a wave movement expected at a second, later time on the basis of the determined measurement variables.

Method for operating a machine located in choppy waters

A wave energy converter comprises a rotor, which is designed to convert a wave movement of a body of water, in which the wave energy converter is arranged, into a rotational movement of the rotor, wherein a mean density of at least one rotating component of the rotor can be adjusted and/or is lower than the mean density of the fluid surrounding the rotor in the body of water. The disclosure likewise relates to a corresponding control device and an operating method.

Wave energy converter, and associated operating method and control device

The present invention relates to a converter comprising a pump which is driven directly or indirectly by a natural force such as a water swell, it being possible for a hydraulic machine to be driven by the pump. The hydraulic machine is force-coupled to an electrical machine which may function as a generator or a motor. According to the present invention, the force acting on the pump is regulated via a control loop as a function of oscillation parameters of the natural force.
