  • Patent number: 10361552
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a solid state power controller, comprising: a power switch for interrupting a line; a current sensor for measuring a current flow on the line; and a control unit for controlling the power switch and that is configured to prevent a time-dependent overcurrent on the line on the basis of the current measured by the current sensor, wherein the control unit comprises a counter that is adapted to increment a count when the measured current is larger than a threshold value and to decrement the count when the measured current is smaller than the threshold value; and wherein the power switch is adapted to interrupt the line when the counter reaches or exceeds a predefined count.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2019
    Assignee: Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH
    Inventors: Rodolphe De Maglie, Erich Riedisser, Nejat Mahdavi

  • Patent number: 9027460
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a piston-cylinder unit with a device for determining position, the device comprising at least one exciter that is indirectly or directly electrically connected with the cylinder jacket and the cylinder piston of the piston-cylinder unit, and that excites the electrical oscillating circuit formed by the piston-cylinder unit and the contact lines to oscillate at its resonant frequency, it being possible to measure an electrical signal characterizing the resonant frequency on the piston-cylinder unit. The invention also relates to a construction machine or piece of hoisting equipment with such a piston-cylinder unit.
