Abstract: In a safety device for a tank system with a tank pipe 1 which has a pliable region and a rigid region, a reinforcing element 7 is allocated to the rigid region of the tank pipe 1. The reinforcing element 7 is hollow and is in contact with the entire circumference of the tank pipe 1 with its interior contour.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for user-specific intuitive and secure control of operational inputs in software components with operational surfaces. Various operational elements on a surface can be reached with varying ease for the input of data, or for carrying out a confirmation action, for example, an OK click with the mouse. It is made easier or more difficult for an operator to carry out an input. The above is achieved, whereby input means, for example, a mouse are either drawn towards, or withdrawn away from the corresponding input regions. Erroneous inputs are thus avoided.

Abstract: The topology of a bus or network electric line system which is used to provide a plurality of electric consumers with low voltage from a feed block, is inputted into a computer. For several feed points, a measuring value is determined for the electric line system on the basis of at least one technical criterium and is transmitted to a user as a function of the feed point. It is assumed that the feed block is connected to the electric line system at the respective feed point.

Abstract: A low-voltage power installation in which elements are to be interconnected via an energy distribution system with several sections configured by a specification of the elements and the sections. The elements and the sections are specified by access to a catalogue from which predefined specifications can be selected via an interface. The design of the sections can be checked, supplemented or corrected according to a dimensioning criterion.

Abstract: A data structure includes global objects that can be used by a plurality of project planning tools, via which partial plans of a technical installation can be prepared using their correspondingly tool-specific design criteria. The data structure can be accessed from the project planning tools only via a management program assigned to the data structure which generates, deletes and modifies the global objects as a function of use by the project planning tools. Further, if appropriate, it generates warning messages for the project planning tools.

Abstract: A low-voltage power installation in which elements (1-11) are to be interconnected via an energy distribution system with several sections (12-27) is configured by means of a (partial) specification of the elements (1-11) and the sections (12-27). The (elements (1-11) and the sections (12-27) are specified by access to a catalogue (51) from which predefined (partial) specifications can be selected via an interface (43). The design of the sections (12-27) can be checked, supplemented or corrected according to a dimensioning criterion.

Abstract: The topology of a wiring system in the form of a bus or network, which is to provide a number of electrical consumers (1-5) with a low voltage from a supply module (6) is input into a computer (30). At least one individual length and one individual cross-section is allocated to each of the sections (12-27) of the wiring system, while nominal capacities are allocated to the consumers (1-5). The low voltage, nominal capacities and lengths are used in conjunction with predetermined dimensioning criteria to test whether the cross-section is adequate for each section (12-27).

Abstract: A method for determining the shielding effectiveness of a shielded and, particularly, permanently installed cabling path wherein the cabling path has an inside conductor connected via a patching cable at a first end to a transmitter which emits an electrical test signal. One pole of the transmitter output is applied to ground potential and the other pole is conductively connected to a patching cable. At a second end of the cabling path the shielding is applied to ground potential and conductively connected to the inside conductor via a terminating impedance. The shielding of the cabling path is connected to that pole of the transmitter output applied to ground potential. It is connected thereto by a return line which is connected to the first end of the cabling path at a differential current intensity of the currents flowing through the patching cable and the return line is converted into a measured value using a measuring device.

Abstract: The invention is a diagnostic tool for providing remote diagnosis of instrument operation by graphically depicting an instrument, instrument variables and their corresponding values on a plurality of interrelated windows displayed on a computer screen. The computer communicates with the instrument to obtain signals for continuously updating the information displayed on the windows.

Abstract: A device that protects motor vehicles against the sun, with an oblong cover that extends across the vehicle and is secured by fasteners to a trunk door or rear hatch and that a roller, especially a spring-loaded roller, with protective sheeting rolled up on it rotates below. The protective sheeting, especially sheeting that has been sputtered with aluminum, can be unwound from the roller through a longitudinal opening in the cover against the force of the spring and drawn forward along and over the vehicle and positioned against its front.

Abstract: A protective covering for structural components of machine tools includes a U-shaped foldable support and a cover applied to the upper surface of the support and formed of a plurality of metal sheets partially overlapping each other. A plurality of tape-shaped connecting elements are interconnected between the longitudinal edges of the sheets of the cover and the associated walls of the folds of the support. Each connecting member includes a slack intermediate portion which permits a movement of the connecting edges of the cover sheets in the direction normal to the direction of the movement of the support during its folding.
