Abstract: A device and method are provided for controlling the temperature, in particular for cooling, of an LED lamp or LED modules of an LED lamp, e.g., for curing a light-cured pipe. The device includes: a fluid supply line and multiple heat exchangers connected to the supply line; multiple LEDs coupled to each heat exchanger with respect to heat transfer; and a fluid return line. The fluid supply and return lines are connected to each other in a fluid-tight manner by various combinations of L-pieces and T-pieces in or at the ends of the fluid supply and the return lines, so that the fluid flows from the LEDs in a spatially separated way and the fluid supply and return lines have at least two parallel fluid connections to each other, the heat exchangers being arranged in the fluid connections or constituting the fluid connections.

Abstract: The invention is an excess temperature protection element for photovoltaic installations. The element has a cylindrical housing closed off with two cover plates, encasing therein a plug-and-socket connection that is certified for photovoltaic installations. The plug connector is connected to the interior face of one cover plate and the socket connector to the interior face of the second cover plate, so that the two connectors are in electrical contact with each other when the housing is closed. A pressure element between the two cover plates biases the plates away from the housing. One of the plates is a releasable plate secured to the housing by a hot-melt material. When the temperature of the PV installation rises above a threshold value, the hot-melt material softens, allowing the pressure element to push the releasable cover plate away from the housing, thereby disconnecting the plug-in connection in the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for the electromagnetic stirring of electrically conductive fluids in the liquid state and/or in the state of onsetting solidification of the fluid, using a rotating magnetic field that is produced in the horizontal plane of a Lorentz force. The aim is to achieve an intensive three-dimensional flow on the inside of the fluid for mixing in the liquid state up to the direct vicinity of solidifying fronts, and to simultaneously ensure an undisturbed, free surface of the fluid. The solution is to change the direction of rotation of the magnetic field rotating in the horizontal plane at regular time intervals in the form of a period duration, wherein the frequency of the directional change of movement of the magnetic field vector is adjusted such that in the state of mixing the liquid fluid a period duration is adjusted between two directional changes of the magnetic field during a time interval as a function of the adjustment time with the condition (I) 0.5·ti.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the electromagnetic stirring of electrically conductive fluids by using a magnetic field RMF rotating in the horizontal plane, and a magnetic field WMF traveling in a vertical direction thereto. The object consists in avoiding asymmetric flow structures in containers filled with melts, in particular at the beginning and during the course of the solidification. Moreover, the aim is to achieve an effective mixing of the fluid and/or a controlled solidification of metallic alloys by avoiding the formation of separation zones in the solidification structure. The solution consists in the fact that both the rotating magnetic field RMF and the traveling magnetic field WMF are switched on discontinuously in the form of temporally restricted and adjustable periods and alternately in time one after another via associated induction coils.

Abstract: An arrangement for implementing a network in an ISDN-based customer premises having a four-wire ISDN S0 bus. The ISDN-based customer premises includes a Network Termination Basic Access (NTBA) that interfaces between the residential customer premises and the public switched telephone network by mapping the two-wire ISDN signal onto the four-wire bus. A low pass filter is added to the two-wire send path to eliminate high frequency noise caused by harmonic reflections of the ISDN-based signals on the four-wire bus. Filters are also coupled between each ISDN device and the four-wire S0 bus, ensuring that the four-wire S0 bus is isolated from capacitive influences of the ISDN devices to optimize transmission of the higher frequency home network signals.

Abstract: A low pass filter is configured for coupling home PNA network signals to a customer premises system having a two-wire European Installation Bus. The low pass filter uses an inductor having terminal ends connected to windings and configured in a non-compensating mode for generation of sufficient inductance for low pass filtering of the home PNA network signals from high frequency components of EIB signals generated by EIB bus coupling units. Use of an inductor having terminal ends connected to windings in a non-compensating mode enables the use of a smaller inductor core, such as a common mode choke or a ferrite bead toroid, that can fit within an EIB bus connector. Hence, existing EIB bus connectors can be replaced with improved coupling units having low pass filters that enable coupling of home PNA signals to the EIB bus. In addition, use of a toroid having windings in the non-compensating mode creates a closed loop within the toroid for flux induced by the windings, minimizing electromagnetic interference.

The filter also provides a delay between the zero crossing of the ISDN-based signals and the transmitted network signals, minimizing the effect of the ISDN zero crossings on the home network signal.

Abstract: A microprocessor EMI shield is configured for isolating EMI emissions from the microprocessor, and grounding any electric potential caused by EMI emissions detected by the microprocessor heat sink. The microprocessor EMI shield includes a low-impedance conductive surface sufficient for conducting electric potential induced based on EMI emissions from the microprocessor. The microprocessor EMI shield also includes an array of apertures for accommodating the respective microprocessor pins. The array of apertures includes a first group of apertures for accommodating the microprocessor non-ground pins, each having a spaced diameter for avoiding contact with the corresponding non-ground microprocessor pin, and a second group of apertures for accommodating the microprocessor ground pins.

Abstract: A home network environment is implemented in a customer premises having a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) for outputting analog telephone signals onto twisted pair wiring arranged in a star topology, by adding a high pass filter in parallel along the twisted pair wiring. The high pass filter enables transmission of network data signals between the telephone line pairs connected to the PBX, without interference of the switching operations by the PBX of analog telephone signals. The high pass filter may be implemented within the PBX as an improved PBX system that accommodates home networking, or alternatively the high pass filter may be added externally to the PBX system as a retrofit operation for existing customer premises.

Abstract: A customer premises system having two-wire buses for transmission of digital telephony signals between digital terminal ends of a private branch exchange (PBX) and respective digital end equipment units includes low pass filters coupled to terminal ends of the two-wire buses serving the digital equipment, for isolation of a home PNA signal from the digital end equipment units and the digital terminal ends of the PBX, and a first high pass filter configured for cross coupling the home PNA signal across the two-wire buses. A second high pass filter is used for cross coupling home PNA signals across two-wire (e.g., tip and ring) buses used to connect analog end equipment to analog terminal ends of the PBX.

Abstract: A power line filter connected to single-phase power lines (110-230 VAC, 50-60 Hz) enables transmission of HomePNA-type home network signals between network nodes connected to the main power lines as a network medium. The filter includes fuse resistors (R1, R2) that limit the current from the main power line, a transit diode circuit that clamps the bolts to a prescribed limit, eliminating energy that may be present in main power spikes. A pair of X2-type capacitors pass the 1 MHz or higher HomePNA signals, while rejecting the 50-60 Hz main power signal. A choke-type inductor eliminates any residual high voltage signals in the 50-60 Hz range by short circuiting the power signals, while maintaining a high impedance at the 1 MHz range, enabling the HomePNA signals to be safely passed to the RJ-11 connector of a physical layer transceiver of the Home Network Node.
