  • Patent number: 8823362
    Abstract: A method and an array for measuring a primary current in a primary conductor that is magnetically coupled to a secondary conductor via a ferromagnetic core. In said method, a voltage having a specific amplitude is applied to the secondary conductor such that a secondary current flows for reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core is reversed in order to obtain a first measured value; the polarity of the voltage is reversed such that a secondary current flows for once again reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the core is reversed in order to obtain a second measured value; the primary current is calculated in accordance with the first and the second measured value, the polarity of the voltage being regularly reversed at a certain sensor frequency that is continuously varied.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an array for measuring a primary current in a primary conductor that is magnetically coupled to a secondary conductor via a ferromagnetic core. In said method and array, the following is done; a voltage having a specific amplitude is applied to the secondary conductor such that a secondary current flows for reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core is reversed in order to obtain a first measured value; the polarity of the voltage is reversed such that a secondary current flows for once again reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the core is reversed in order to obtain a second measured value; the primary current is calculated in accordance with the first and the second measured value, the polarity of the voltage being regularly reversed at a certain sensor frequency that is continuously varied.

  • Patent number: 7153718
    Abstract: A micromechanical component having a substrate beneath at least one structured layer, in the structured layer at least one functional structure being formed, a cap which covers the functional structure, between the cap and the functional structure at least one cavity being formed, and a connecting layer which connects the cap to structured layer, as well as a method for producing the micromechanical component. To obtain a compact and robust component, the connecting layer is formed from an anodically bondable glass, i.e. a bond glass, which has a thickness in the range of 300 nm to 100 ?m, which may in particular be in the range of 300 nm to 50 ?m.

  • Patent number: 6611747
    Abstract: An exemplary method is described for influencing the moment delivered by a vehicle drive of a vehicle. In this method a change in load which occurs during cornering of the vehicle is detected, upon detection a minimum value of an intervention quantity which influences the torque delivered is determined and the vehicle drive is acted upon by the minimum value of the intervention quantity for a selectable period of time. To achieve an improvement in the change in load performance of a vehicle in cornering and an improvement in the driving performance of the vehicle in coasting operation, the minimum value determined for the intervention quantity and/or the period of time is corrected as a function of the coefficient of friction of the road surface on which the vehicle is traveling and/or as a function of a deceleration of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5834658
    Abstract: A method for monitoring the path of movement of a part which is movable toward at least one end position by means of a drive, wherein at least one time period is measured which corresponds to a selectable number of revolutions of a drive shaft and the at least one time period is evaluated and supplies a measure for a running behavior of the part. Immediately after the start of the drive, at least one time period is measured which corresponds to a selectable number of revolutions of the drive shaft, this time period is stored temporarily when the drive shaft has executed a selectable minimum number of revolutions and, during a next start of the drive, the time period corresponding to the selectable number of revolutions of the drive shaft is measured again and is compared with the temporarily stored time period and the drive is stopped or reversed if the temporarily stored time period is exceeded by a selectable measure.
