  • Patent number: 8897637
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for identifying at least one object, wherein the object has a connection unit that can be connected to a receptacle unit of a receptacle arrangement, wherein contactless information transfer takes place between the connection unit and the receptacle unit if the connection unit is connected to the receptacle unit, wherein the contactless information transfer is realized as optical information transfer, wherein an optical signal having predetermined optical properties is generated and transmitted by at least one transmitting unit, is transferred via at least one optical transfer path and is received by at least one receiving unit, wherein an evaluation and control unit (14) connected to the receiving unit evaluates the optical properties and/or propagation time properties of the received optical signal and carries out an identification of the object by means of a comparison with stored optical properties and/or by means of a comparison with stored propagation

  • Patent number: 7326087
    Abstract: Proposed is a plug-in connector incorporating an RJ45 connection jack for a data transmission cable (2), said cable being especially a hybrid cable with at least one light transmission conductor (7, 8) and associated therewith also parallel aligned electrical conductors (12). In accord with the invention, the housing contains a connection block (11), which is box-like in shape and which is equipped with at least two openings for the insertion of at least two light conductors (7, 8), one circuit board (18) with connection elements (23) for the joining of the electrical conductor (12) of the hybrid data cable, whereby the circuit board (18) can be mechanically connected to one side of the connection block. The circuit board contains parallel arranged contact paths (19) which are accessible by means of the of open recesses (9) of one of the connection blocks, and the circuit board as well as the given auxiliary casing which surrounds the connection block (11).
