  • Patent number: 10506314
    Abstract: A housing for receiving an electrically operated apparatus may include an inner housing part at least partially defining a housing interior. The inner housing part may include an inner passage opening. The housing may also include an outer housing part disposed on a side of the inner housing part facing away from the housing interior. The outer housing part may include an outer passage opening. The outer passage opening and the inner passage opening may at least partially define an acoustic duct for discharging airborne noise from the housing interior. The acoustic duct may be closed by a fluid-tight and airborne noise-permeable membrane. Further, the housing may include a porous member disposed within the acoustic duct configured to prevent an ignition breakthrough from the housing interior into an external environment outside of the outer housing part.

  • Patent number: 10390142
    Abstract: A loudspeaker arrangement may include a loudspeaker having first and second voice coils to provide motive force for a loudspeaker membrane, and an electric transformer having a primary coil connectable electrically to an electrical power unit, and a secondary coil connectable electrically to the first and second voice coils. The voice coils each may have two first winding ends connected to each other via a first electrical conducting path to form a parallel electrical circuit and two second winding ends connected to each other via a second electrical conducting path. The first electrical conducting path may be connected electrically to a first winding end of the secondary coil via a first electrical connecting path and via an additional first electrical connecting path, which may form a parallel circuit with the first electrical connecting path.

  • Patent number: 9729141
    Abstract: An electronic circuit arrangement for use in an explosive area may include an electrical signal line, which connects an electrical input connector to an electrical output connector, and an electrical earth line, which can be or is electrically connected to the electrical signal line by at least one electrical earthing line. An inductive component and a semiconductor switch may be arranged in the at least one earthing line. The semiconductor switch may be switched between a closed state, in which the signal line is electrically connected via the at least one earthing line to the earth line, and an open state, in which this electrical connection is interrupted.

  • Patent number: 9365340
    Abstract: A device arrangement for receiving an electronic device may include a casing enclosing at least partially a casing interior. A resilient partition wall may be disposed in the casing and divide the casing interior into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber fluidically separated from the first sub-chamber. The first sub-chamber may be configured to receive the electronic device. The first sub-chamber may include a first gas at a pre-determined gas pressure and the second sub-chamber may include a second gas having a second gas pressure. A pressurizing device may be disposed in the casing interior and be configured to increase the pre-determined gas pressure of the first sub-chamber by a pre-determined amount in relation to the second gas pressure in the second sub-chamber. The second sub-chamber may communicate fluidically with a surrounding environment of the casing.

  • Publication number: 20140210676
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable electronic device with static charge protection, which is particularly suitable for use in areas exposed to explosion hazards and not limited in its functions therein. The portable electronic device comprises a transmission module having an antenna, and a housing, accommodating the transmission module and the antenna, wherein at least part of the housing has such a frame structure of frame elements of anti-static material with areas of another material placed there in-between that the radiation of the antenna goes essentially through the areas and not through the frame elements of anti-static material.
