  • Patent number: 8262332
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connection element, in particular a plate nut, comprising a base body for attachment of an arbitrary component to a metallic planar object, in particular to a sheet metal. According to the invention, the base body comprises a securement portion the cross-sectional geometry of which deviates from a circular shape, the securement portion being at least partially positively receivable in a deformation in the sheet metal. The base body is, by means of a holding device, secured in the deformation against dropping out. In an alternative embodiment of the connection element, wherein unilateral accessibility to the sheet metal is sufficient, the holding device is formed by bead portions in a shaft area of the base body, which are plastically deformed into a bead by pull-out of a threaded bolt that is screwed into a thread portion.

  • Patent number: 8145063
    Abstract: For readjusting a polarization drift in the transmission of a polarization-encoded optical signal from a transmitter via a light guide to a receiver, optical auxiliary signals having the same wavelength as the polarization-encoded signal as well as different polarizations as in correspondence with a first base and a second base are fed into the light guide on the side of the transmitter while the transmission of the polarization-encoded signal is interrupted, and the optical auxiliary signals are picked up from the light guide and checked for shifts of the different polarizations by a polariometer on the side of the receiver, whereupon, in the event of the detection of polarization shifts, the different polarizations shifted during the transmission are displaced in the sense of the polarization set values via a polarization controller associated with the light guide.
