Abstract: The invention relates to a surface paneling module that includes a power supply connection and a data transfer interface as well as a processor that is coupled to the power supply connection and the data transfer

Abstract: Sensor arrangement having sensor arrays arranged in crossover regions of row and column lines, each of the sensor arrays having a coupler and a sensor element, which influences current flow between a row and column line through the coupler, an accumulative current flow detector that detects accumulative current flow from individual electric current flows provided by the sensor arrays, and a decoder that determines a sensor element at which a sensor signal is present from the accumulative electric current flows. Accumulative current flows which satisfy a predetermined first criterion can be determined from the detected accumulative current flows, and from the accumulative current flows determined an accumulative current flow can be selected as an accumulative current flow which represents a sensor signal and which satisfies a predetermined second criterion, and the sensor element at which a sensor signal is present can be determined from the selected accumulative current flow.

Abstract: A processor arrangement comprises a number of processor units. Each processor unit is coupled to at least one adjacent processor unit by means of a bi-directional communication interface. Messages are exchanged between adjacent processor units for the determination of the separation of a processor unit in the processor arrangement from a reference position. Each message contains separation information, giving the separation of the processor unit receiving the message from the reference position or the separation of the processor unit sending the message from the reference position, where each processor unit is embodied such as to be able to determine or store the separation thereof from the reference position from the separation information in a received message.
