  • Patent number: 10458832
    Abstract: A method for the functional diagnosis of an electromechanical fill state measuring device in which a displacement element on a measuring wire is lowered into a filling material in a container such that in an equilibrium state, the weight of the displacement element minus a displacement element buoyancy, which depends upon at least one equilibrium volume, is determined to be equal to a resulting weight of the displacement element. The resulting weight is specified, and the specified resulting weight is kept constant by correspondingly changing the length of the measuring wire in the equilibrium state. The fill state of the filling material is ascertained using the length of the lowered measuring wire. In order to diagnose a function, the specified value of the equilibrium volume of the displacement element is changed, and the resulting change in the length of the measuring wire is ascertained on the basis of the constant equilibrium state of the resulting weight.

  • Publication number: 20180235688
    Abstract: High-frequency tools are used in medicine for manipulating body tissue, using an HF resectoscope. For electrical insulation of an electrode from an electrode support, the ends of the electrode are initially guided through ceramic tubes. These ceramic tubes are sensitive in particular to forces transverse to the longitudinal axis of the resectoscope.

  • Patent number: 9898566
    Abstract: A method is provided for providing an automated assistance to design an analog non linear circuit under transient conditions, and to a corresponding system. The method enables the circuit designer to consider with simulation the time reactive effects of generally nonlinear components, while keeping the significant and intuitive qualities of an analysis view design tool like the CAIRO+/CHAMS environment. The method includes at least a transient instant solving procedure producing a numerical simulation that uses a given set of sizes and biases to provide a set of local behavior parameters in at least one node at current time. This transient instant solving procedure includes an incremental iteration under transient conditions of an evaluation in an analysis view of a dependency graph of the functional structure of the circuit. An optional transient analysis performs a numerical simulation to provide a time dependent behavior simulation of the circuit, and a performance evaluation.
