  • Patent number: 8942948
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring electrical variables includes an external measuring connection, and a converter that converts a plurality of measurement variables into respective electrical measurement variables of a single predefined type. A control device for controlling the converter is provided and at least one type of variable to be measured with the converter can be selected via the control device, and a converter for at least two types of variables to be measured respectively has at least one independent input stage that can be used to detect the measurement variable of the type to be measured and to convert it into a predefined or predefinable type of variable. An electrical signal provided at the measuring connection is analysed in a parallel manner with respect to at least two different criteria via at least two input stages for different types of variables to be measured.

  • Patent number: 8303316
    Abstract: The patent deals with a contact fixture for a PCB with one first plug-in connector and one second plug-in connector, whereby the first plug-in connector has a number of first contact elements, the second plug-in connector has a number of second contact elements, the first plug-in connector is arranged on the first side of the PCB, the second plug-in connector is arranged on the second side of the PCB opposite to the first side, the first contact element and/or the second contact element is/are designed as a connector to establish a detachable electrically conductive connection with at least the second contact element or the first contact element, and the first contact element and the second contact element are connected through an opening in the PCB.

  • Patent number: 7596711
    Abstract: A method for synchronously providing data on distributed devices of a network includes storing, by a master device, an extrapolation data set including at least one update time point. The update time point is in the future and marks the beginning of an extrapolation interval. The master device transmits the extrapolation data set to a slave device. Starting at an update time point, new data is calculated separately on the master device and the slave device by extrapolation using the extrapolation data set available on both the master device and the slave device. The method steps are repeated for subsequent extrapolation intervals.
