Abstract: A method of parametrizing an environment model (108) for a driver assistance system (106) of a vehicle (100) comprises steps of defining, determining and transforming. In the step of defining, a reference point (R) on a predicted trajectory (T) of the vehicle (100) is defined in relation to a detected object (OBJ) in an environment of the vehicle (100). In the step of determining, an angle (?x) between a tangent (tan) to the trajectory (T) in the reference point (R) and a first axis (x) of a vehicle coordinate system (K) and a relative distance between object (OBJ) and reference point (R) are determined, to obtain object-related information (115). In the step of transforming, the object-related information (115) is transformed according to the determined angle (?x) to a new coordinate system with its first axis tangential to the trajectory (T) in the reference point (R), to obtain parametrization data (117).

Abstract: A method for controlling a warning module based on an expected time period up to a collision of a vehicle with an obstacle, including: permitting an outputting of a generated warning to a driver of the vehicle if the expected time period up to the collision is shorter than a limiting value function, which depends on a speed of the obstacle and/or a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the obstacle, and otherwise suppressing a warning to the driver; in which the warning module is configured to generate the warning of an imminent triggering of an automatic emergency braking process of the vehicle to avoid the collision. Also described is a related device and computer readable medium.

Abstract: The circuit breaker system contains a plurality of phase conductors, a circuit breaker having a plurality of breaker poles, and a short-circuit link having a star point and a plurality of link conductors combined at the star point. Each of the phase conductors is electrically conductively connected to in each case one of the breaker poles and each link conductor is electrically conductively connected to in each case one of the phase conductors in each case one of several first disconnectors to which short-circuit current can be applied. In order to avoid expenditure on assembly and downtimes of the circuit breaker system when carrying out simulation experiments with the aid of the short-circuit link, the circuit breaker system contains a second disconnector which, when closed, electrically conductively connects the star point to ground and which is opened when a short-circuit current is applied to the short-circuit current link.

Abstract: An exemplary high-current switching arrangement in a generator duct arranged between a generator and a transformer is disclosed. This arrangement includes a pole frame which can be positioned on a base surface, a breaker pole of a generator circuit-breaker which is secured to the pole frame, and a drive which is secured to the pole frame. The breaker pole includes an active component arranged along an axis designed for the conduction and interruption of high currents and which incorporates a power switching point, with two axially spaced current terminals. The drive is arranged on a first of two end faces of the pole frame, and includes a linkage mechanism that transmits power from the drive to the power switching point.

Abstract: The hybrid circuit breaker has at least two series-connected arcing chambers, which are operated by a commmon drive via a transmission (29) connected upstream from it. It is intended to be possible to assemble this transmission (29) easily in the interior of the hybrid circuit breaker. This is achieved in that the transmission (29) is formed from at least two transmission parts which can be plugged together, with a first transmission part being firmly connected to the at least one first arcing chamber and a second transmission part being firmly connected to the at least one second arcing chamber. The transmission (29) also has means which allow the movements of the at least two arcing chambers to be technically suitably matched to one another and to be optimized with respect to the time sequence and switching speed thereof.

Abstract: This hybrid circuit breaker has at least two seriesconnected arcing chambers, which are operated by a common drive via a transmission (29) connected upstream from it.

Abstract: A gas-insulated power breaker (1) has encapsulation (2) which is filled with an inert gas. Live parts (10, 11, 12, 13) are arranged in the encapsulation (2). In order to prevent damage to the live parts (10, 11, 12, 13) during transportation, a transport support (17) is provided. In a secured position, the transport support (17) supports the live parts (10, 11, 12, 13) with respect to the encapsulation (2). It can be partially withdrawn and moved to an operating position, through a gastight aperture (22), without the inert gas having to be evacuated or the encapsulation (2) opened in this event. This allows the switch to be transported safely, prevents contamination of the interior (3) of the encapsulation (2), and avoids the need for costly emptying and refilling with inert gas.
