Publication number: 20230305079Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a state of a capacitive voltage transformer which, on its primary side, comprises a capacitive voltage divider having a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The first capacitor has a high-voltage connection for connection to a high voltage) and the second capacitor has a ground connection. A first resonant frequency is determined by way of a plurality of first short-circuit impedance measurements at different frequencies on a secondary side of the capacitive voltage transformer while the high-voltage connection is connected to earth. A second resonant frequency is determined by way of a plurality of second short-circuit impedance measurements at different frequencies on the secondary side of the capacitive voltage transformer while the high-voltage connection is open. A capacitance ratio of the capacitive voltage divider is determined on the basis of the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2021Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: OMICRON electronics GmbHInventors: Thomas BISCHOF, David GOPP

Patent number: 9539796Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for applying a strip-shaped material (28) onto a contact area (60) of an object that is limited by at least one second section emanating from the first section, whereby the strip-shaped material is applied in a direction of application (70) onto the contact area by a pressure element (30) and the pressure element emanates from a pivotable pivoting element (20) that is connected to a holder. In order to make a completely automated application of the strip-shaped material onto the object possible, it is suggested that the actively pivotable pivoting element (20) is pivoted during the application of the strip-shaped material (28) onto the contact area (60) in and/or counter to the direction of application (70) and executes a lifting movement during the course of the pivoting movement.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: REIS GROUP HOLDING GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7871555Abstract: A method for producing a profiled bead made of a plastic, particularly of a polymer, on a piece, particularly on a window pane. In the method at least a partial portion of an edge region or lateral face region of a surface of the piece is brought into contact with a forming face. The plastic is deposited stuck to at least part of the periphery of a surface of the piece untouched by the forming face and the external dimensions of the profiled bead formed are also defined by the forming face. The forming face is pressed against the edge region or lateral face region of the fixed piece using a flat support, the shape of which can vary under the pressure of a fluid. This then gives a better matching of the forming face to the contour and to any dimensional discrepancies of the piece.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2002Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Saint-Gobain Glass FranceInventors: Thomas Orten, Thomas Bischof, Gerd Cornils
