Abstract: A computer system for interactively inputting parameter values. The computer system with a screen, memory and a set of parameters, comprises an interactive input field each for each of said set of parameters, a set of information items each for each of said set of parameters, said set of information items being stored in the memory; and a set of virtual keys stored in the memory. On selecting a parameter displayed on the screen, an interactive input field associated with the selected parameter and a subset of virtual keys is displayed on the screen. The subset of virtual keys comprises only those keys that are relevant to changing a value of the selected parameter.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing fault conditions in an automation system. An error controller (10) connects to one or more machines or machine elements (12) in an automation system. Signals from the machine (12) are input to one or more inputs (14) of the error controller (10). Internal logic to the error controller (10) uses the inputs to identify possible error conditions, which are then transmitted to a central controller (16) via error controller outputs (18) of the error controller (10). A display monitor (20) provides a user interface for error analysis and configuration of the error controller (10). A PC (22) is provided for configuration of the error controller (10) by running suitable application software for the configuration thereof. When an error condition arises, corresponding error messages are extracted from a database and presented to a user via the display (20).

Abstract: A device for protecting the human body against impacts and blows is provided that may be used integral with a garment or separately. The device consists of a hard core material and a padding part which further comprises a foam material with closed parts wherein the hard core material and padding part have perforations in a predesigned configuration. The padding part may also be equipped with a functional lining that is water vapor permeable, windproof and waterproof. These devices are particularly useful as a protective insert in sports uniforms and protective helmets and may also be used as a splinting device such as a cast.
