Abstract: An agricultural machine for conducting an agricultural working process includes a combustion engine (2), electrical consumers (3-8), a chargeable electrical battery (9) for electrically supplying the consumers (3-8) and a monitor module (10) for monitoring the charging level of the battery (9). It is proposed that some of the electrical consumers (3-8) of the agricultural machine (1) are peripheral consumers (3-8) for providing functions in a parking state of the agricultural machine (1), in which the combustion engine (2) is shut off, that a power management module (11) is provided, which in the parking state of the agricultural machine (1) monitors the charging level of the battery (9) via the monitor module (11) and deactivates at least one peripheral consumer (3-8), when the charging level falls below a threshold level.

Abstract: An electronic paper display including a display apparatus of a first type, a driver circuit of the first type electrically coupled to the display apparatus of the first type, a display film of a second type disposed on the display apparatus of the first type and a timing controller circuit of the second type electrically coupled to the driver circuit of the first type is provided. The driver circuit of the first type drives the display apparatus of the first type and displays images on the display film of the second type according to a driving signal of the first type. The timing controller circuit of the second type adjusts a waveform of driving signal of the second type to a waveform of the driving signal of the first type. The first type is a liquid crystal display type, and the second type is an electronic paper display type.

Abstract: A hand-held tool machine comprising a housing is disclosed wherein a motor for driving a tool as well as a switch for switching on and off the motor are received, including a switching arrangement having a switch that can be moved between a non-activated position and an activated position for activating the switch, and including a locking arrangement that can be moved between a blocking position and a release position, wherein the switch lever can only be moved into the activated position, when the locking arrangement is in the release position, and wherein the locking arrangement allows for a locking of the switch lever in the activated position, wherein the locking arrangement includes a slider that is received on the switch lever slidable between a locking position and a release position, wherein on the slider there is provided a blocking element cooperating with a counter element arranged at the housing for blocking a movement of the switch lever into the activated position when being in the blocking posi
