Abstract: A method of inductively transmitting energy and information between an energy transmitter comprising a primary inductor and an energy receiver comprising a secondary inductor, wherein energy is transmitted from the energy transmitter to the energy receiver by applying an alternating voltage to the primary inductor to generate a primary alternating current in the primary inductor, thereby inducing a secondary alternating current in the secondary inductor. The information is transmitted from the energy transmitter to the energy receiver essentially only in a dedicated first section of the cycle of the alternating voltage by varying the amplitude of the alternating voltage; and information is transmitted from the energy receiver to the energy transmitter essentially only in a dedicated second section of the cycle by varying the secondary inductor's power absorption, the second section not overlapping with the first section.

Abstract: An electrical connector for establishing an electrical contact with a complementary connector, in particular in a high-temperature environment, the electrical connector including: a housing having an essentially cylindrical inner volume with an opening at least at one end; an elongated contact element disposed inside the inner volume to contact the complementary connector when the latter is introduced into the inner volume; and an elongated spring element disposed between a wall of the inner volume and the contact element to resiliently support the elongated contact element. The contact element includes an anchor section clamped between a first and a second part of the housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector with a first coupling device with a first connection for a first electrical cable and a second coupling device with a second connection for a second electrical cable and wherein both coupling devices are interlocking for electrical contact. The second coupling device includes a first component to contact the first coupling device by interlocking, a second component that includes the second connection, and a coupling device for electrical coupling of the first component with the second component, wherein both components are flexible relative to each other in radial and/or axial direction.

Abstract: Part of an electrical connecting device, especially for use in medical technology, with a display device to display an effect on the part resulting from a preparatory step for the use of the part, whereby the display device has a visible field whose colored appearance changes at least in sections as a reaction to the effect resulting from the preparatory measure.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a connection device for the transmission of optical and/or electrical signals, specifically for medical purposes, featuring a cable and a coupling element, which is designed to couple to a matching counterpart on the coupling side. The coupling side exhibits an inner part, having a connecting element for connection to the cable, and an outer part, with the outer part being detachably attached to the inner part. The outer part is capable of being detached from the inner part prior to use of the connection device involving the passage of the connection device through an area of the human body.
