  • Patent number: 6446201
    Abstract: A method and system for operating a bus master on a field bus on the basis of the master/slave principle in the event of a fault. The field bus has at least one slave connected to it and the bus master runs a separate state table for each connected slave. The state table stores the operating state of each individual slave and each state table is deleted when initialization takes place for the first time. In the event of a fault, the bus master is reinitialized such that a check is run to ascertain whether full initialization has taken place for each connected slave as assumed, and, if it has, the content of each state table is retained in unmodified form, and, if it has not, the state table for the affected slave is deleted and the bootstrap initialization is imposed.

  • Patent number: 6263722
    Abstract: A magnetomechanical gas analyzer such a paramagnetic oxygen analyzer which has a dumbbell which is rotatably suspended in the region of action of an inhomogeneous magnetic field and around which a gas to be measured flows. The dumbbell is connected, fixed in rotation, to a mirror for deflecting a light beam. In order to damp in the analyzer all kinds of oscillations which have a negative effect on stability in the balance point, and to increase the detectability and the speed of the measurement, there are least two electrically conductive surface segments which are essentially perpendicular to one another are arranged for eddy-current damping on the dumbbell or in the mechanical gearing on the dumbbell and in the region of action of the inhomogeneous magnetic field. One of the surface segments may be the mirror.

  • Patent number: 6176144
    Abstract: A pressure medium operated actuator with a position regulator for regulated action on the opening and closing actuation of, for example, a process valve, and with a transmission device for transmitting the movement of a driving member to the position regulator. In order, in a position regulator of this type, to utilize a material pairing which is advantageous per se and, at the same time, to achieve movement transmission which is free of play even in the long term, the position regulator is provided with a resetting lever having a polygonal rotary slide which is prestressed in the manner of a torsion spring and which, by tilting slightly under a torsion spring effect, engages between two parallel round-rod portions of a driver connected to the push-rod.

  • Patent number: 6152622
    Abstract: A process chart recorder for the on-line recording of process measurement data that has a dot-printing head. In order to develop a chart recorder arrangement having a dot-printing head of the generic type to the extent that the overall printing operation can be effected more easily using mechanically or electromechanically simple means, the printing actuation of the dot-printing head and the actuation of the pen wheel is effected through a common stepping motor. The stepping motor is provided with mechanical means through which the stepping motor is coupled to the pen wheel in a manner causing rotation in one direction and blocking rotation in the opposite direction, with the result that, in one direction of rotation of the stepping motor, only the pen wheel can be actuated and, in the other direction of rotation, the entire dot-printing head can be lowered for printing.

  • Patent number: 6142836
    Abstract: A terminal, in particular for electronic printed circuit boards, with which contact can be made with the printed circuit board in a materially connecting fashion. In order to obtain, in a terminal arrangement of this type, a more suitable, simpler and statically stable means of making contact, the terminal has at the bottom a planar, solderable bottom face as connecting face, and the printed circuit board has a corresponding, metallized area as solder face only on its upper side to which the terminal can be soldered.

  • Patent number: 6084370
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switching device for the manual drive of an electromotive actuator for the control of fittings. In order to connect the manual drive by means of few components, whilst ensuring a simple design, the operative connection between the drive motor and the power take-off being maintained during manual drive, a drive shaft stub of the axially fixed drive shaft is equipped with a radial coupling pin. The handwheel shaft is mounted axially displaceably and in alignment with the drive shaft. That end of the handwheel shaft which is located opposite the handwheel is equipped with a coupling sleeve displaceable axially counter to the force of a compression spring. That end of the coupling sleeve which faces the drive shaft has a groove, the entrance of which is widened on both sides by means of run-on slopes.

  • Patent number: 5932794
    Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-mechanical device for determining the oxygen content in a gas mixture or gas matrix including a dumbbell-shaped element having a base plate and two volumes of the gas to be measured arranged on opposing sides of a center portion of the base plate. The center portion of the base plate is held by a clamping band which is torsionally held such that the base plate rotates about the center portion. A mirror element on the base plate is used to determine a rotational position of the base plate and a compensation coil for conducting current and creating a rotational force to counter any rotation by the base plate is arranged on the dumbell-shaped element.
