German to English: Patent regarding a panel construction for modular building General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Construction / Civil Engineering
Source text - German Die Erfindung geht von rechteckigen Panelen (1) aus, welche an ihren schmalen Längsseiten relativ breite kanalartige Vertiefungen (2) aufweisen, wo im Inneren der Panele (1) stählerne Stabilisierungs-stangen (3) verlaufen, welche aus dem Boden der kanalartigen Vertiefungen (2) herausragen, wo sie in Ringen (4) enden, welche die feste Verbindung zwischen den Panelen ermöglichen unter Benutzung von U-förmigen Haken oder Klammern, die entsprechend in die genannten Ringe (4) eingefügt werden. Eine entsprechende Anordnung der kanalartigen Vertiefungen (2) erlaubt eine Verbindung der Panele sowohl in der gleichen Ebene als auch als Ecke, wobei die Panele untereinander ausgezeichnet verbunden und stabilisiert sind, wozu der entstandene rohrförmige Hohlraum zusätzlich mit demselben Beton der Panele (um weitestgehende Homogenität zu gewährleisten) und, bei Bedarf, mit Baustahl-Bewehrung verfüllt wird. Diese Panele bilden die Wände und Unterteilungen des Gebäudes, während die Böden und Decken aus ähnlichen Modulen unter Einbringung der statisch erforderlichen Baustahl-Bewehrung und eventuell anderer Rohdichte des Betons hergestellt werden. Damit wird einerseits eine industrielle Gross-Serien-Fertigung aller Elemente (Panele, Module) ermöglicht und andererseits eine schnelle und einfache Montage jedes gewünschten Gebäudes.
Translation - English The invention assumes rectangular panels (1) which have relatively broad channel-like depressions (2) at their narrow lengthways sides, in which depressions in the interior of the panel (1) run steel stabilizing rods (3) which protrude from the ground of the channel-like depressions (2) where they end in rings (4), which rings facilitate a tight connection between the panels with the use of u-shaped hooks or clamps, which are inserted appropriately into the said rings (4). Such an arrangement of channel-like depressions (2) allows connection of the panels both in the same plane and as a corner, wherein the panels are exceptionally well connected with one another and stabilized, to which end the resulting tube-shaped cavity is additionally filled with the same concrete as that which forms the panels (in order as far as possible to ensure homogeneity) and, if necessary, with structural steel reinforcement. These panels form the walls and partitions of the building, while the floors and ceilings are manufactured from similar modules, with the additional contribution of the required necessary structural steel reinforcement and possibly with a different bulk density of the concrete. Hereby is facilitated on the one hand an industrial large-scale series production of all elements (panels, modules) and on the other hand a quick and easy assembly of any required building.

Bio
I am an Oxford University Masters graduate and have translated in one form or another since I started to learn Latin at the age of 11. Translation from Latin and Greek into English was a major part of my Bachelor's and Master's degrees.
I moved to Germany after my Master's degree, having spent a year at the prestigious Stiftung Maximilianeum as a student, and after three years at one of the Big Four firms moved into recruitment as a headhunter and researcher. I have always worked in both German and English and translation has always been a part of my work on a minor scale.
Between 2015 and 2018, I worked for 3 years at a patent attorney's firm in Munich, where I became familiar with all stages of the patent process, and where I also started to translate for my firm.
I set up my own company "Charlotte Schmid - Native English" in November 2018 and now work full-time as an independent translator. My focus continues to be high-quality patent translation.
