  • Publication number: 20220182481
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transponder tag (10) that is operable by a mobile telephone, a mobile telephone for operating such a transponder tag (10), a method of operating the transponder tag (10), and a method for detecting the presence of a portable object. The transponder tag comprises a receiving unit (20) for receiving a wireless input signal. The transponder tag (10) is configured to obtain energy (EG) from the received input signal and to use the energy (EG) obtained from the input signal for transmitting by way of a wireless short-range connection a wireless output signal (SSR) that corresponds to a tag information (ITG) of the transponder tag (10). The receiving unit (20) is configured to receive a wireless input signal (STUP) at a frequency of at least one uplink band of a mobile telephone network.

  • Patent number: 9984262
    Abstract: A method is disclosed of operating a RFID-enabled mobile telephone for indicating information of at least one portable object (e.g. key, passport, glasses or medical box). The mobile telephone has an RFID communication unit and the method includes operating the RFID communication unit for receiving an RFID signal from an RFID tag that is attached to the at least one portable object; evaluating the received RFID signal for determining tag information; and presenting the tag information to the user of the mobile telephone for indicating current information of the at least one portable object. This way, up-to-date information of the portable objects is available precisely when needed.

  • Patent number: 5912471
    Abstract: In order to render it possible to give a forecast relating to the quality of a coating layer applied to a substrate by a thermal coating apparatus, an apparatus is provided, comprising a plurality of sensors and/or comprises optical means, in order to separately monitor the radiation emitted by the heated particles entrained by the coating jet in particular areas along a section of the coating jet extending crosswise to the direction of the coating jet. The apparatus further comprises electronic circuitry connected to the outputs of the sensors for further processing the measured values. By means of such an apparatus, the coating jet can be systematically and representatively scanned and monitored. On the basis of the signals supplied by the sensors, the spatial distribution of the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the heated particles can be determined and can be used as a relevant parameter for qualitatively judging the coating layer or for regulating the coating process.

  • Patent number: 4535964
    Abstract: A vibration-damped suspension of a drive aggregate in the body structure includes a forward and rear bearing installation; the forward bearing installation supports the transmission by way of two bearing supports whereas the rear bearing installation includes a cross-bearer supported on the side of the body by way of lateral outwardly arranged bearing supports. The cross-bearer is connected with a bracket receiving the engine by interposition of a decoupling device, whereby the bracket is decoupled from torsional stresses of the body so that the drive aggregate stands completely quiet notwithstanding twisting of the body.
