  • Publication number: 20120148711
    Abstract: An installation for producing cast products includes a tempering machine for at least some of the casting mass, a storage container for the casting mass, a casting machine, and a device for further processing the cast products. At least some of the casting mass is fed to the storage container from the tempering machine, depending on at least one controlling or regulating signal which is based on current and/or expected consumption of casting mass by the casting machine and/or the casting installation. As a result, the installation can be operated at lower cost and extreme fluctuations in the filling level of the storage container can be better prevented, avoiding interruptions in the supply of casting mass to the casting machine.

  • Patent number: 7962269
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement (15) for detecting the actuation of an operator-controlled element (1) make possible a reliable detection of an operator-controlled function to be activated by the operator-controlled element (1) independently of environmental and wear conditions. The operator-controlled element (1) can be actuated with different adjustable degrees of actuation. Various operator-controlled functions of the operator-controlled element (1) are realized in dependence upon the degree of actuation. The operator-controlled element (1) is actuated against a spring force and at least two degrees of actuation are characterized by different spring constants. The at least one of the operator-controlled functions of the operator-controlled element (1) is detected in dependence upon the spring constant assigned to the instantaneous degree of actuation.

  • Patent number: 7436157
    Abstract: A device for preparing a supply voltage contains an input for receiving the supply voltage and a voltage converter for transforming an input voltage present at an input of the voltage converter into an output voltage to be output at an output of the voltage converter. A voltage limiter is provided for limiting a backwards voltage dropping from the output to the input of the voltage converter. This enables a high level of safety of the voltage converter and a high reliability of the device to be guaranteed, especially against a short circuit condition at the output of the voltage converter.

  • Publication number: 20080184843
    Abstract: The invention relates to an accelerator pedal module for controlling a drive motor power such as an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle comprising a pedal lever pivotally maintained about an axis of rotation on a bearing bloc k The pivoting movement of the pedal lever with respect to the bearing block changes the direction of at least one magnetic field which change is converted into an electric signal by at least one sensor element and represents the pivoting angle of the pedal lever with respect to the bearing block. The magnetic field is generated by at least two bipolar magnets between which said sensor element is placed.

  • Patent number: 7221548
    Abstract: A test circuit is provided, which is independent of a power supply and which enables a circuit breaker to be tested in a reliable manner. The test circuit includes a test coil which is devoid of electric potential and is wound around a totalizing current transformer. The test coil is preferably short circuited using a test switch and a connectable load. This simulates the occurrence of a residual current. The selection of an appropriate connectable load allows the sensitivity of the current circuit breaker to be tested in an advantageous manner.

  • Publication number: 20070103988
    Abstract: A circuit configuration controls an inductive consumer, especially protecting the consumer from being accidentally turned on. The circuit configuration contains a free-wheeling circuit for reducing energy stored in the consumer. In order to prevent the consumer from being accidentally turned on when a grounding wire between an energy store and the circuit configuration is interrupted, the free-wheeling circuit is interrupted after a given period of time once the consumer has been turned off such that the consumer is prevented from being charged by a current flowing from the positive pole of the energy store via the electronics of the circuit configuration and the free-wheeling circuit.
