  • Publication number: 20120054348
    Abstract: The method provided is for the initiation of a computer session which is shared by two computers that are connected via internet behind NAT routers so that there is no additional relay server necessary. In contrast to conventional methods which can only connect two computers behind NAT routers via a relay server, there is no need to charge users for the incurring additional traffic. The invention regards a method for the initiation of a computer session which is shared by two computers with the following steps: Manual or automatic start on two computers through a communication software that can exchange arbitrary data via a mutually used rendezvous server. Discovery of the local IP address and of a free port and discovery of the global IP address and port on each side. Transmission of the discovered data to the respective peer via the rendezvous server. Hole punching into the respective opposite NAT. Start of a packet-oriented bidirectional transmission protocol with automatic repeat request.

  • Patent number: 7911198
    Abstract: An arrangement and a method are used for measuring current flowing in an electrical conductor with a magnetic circuit that has an air gap for coupling to the electrical conductor. The air gap of the magnetic circuit contains a magnetic-field-sensitive component that is used to measure the magnetic field generated by the electrical conductor, wherein, the air gap of the magnetic circuit contains a control core, wherein the control core has a control winding for the magnetic saturation of the control core. In the vicinity of the magnetic-field-sensitive component there are several additional elements that are suitable for conducting interfering magnetic fields in the surroundings of the magnetic-field-sensitive component independent of the control cores.

  • Patent number: 7911197
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for measurement of a current flowing in an electrical conductor having a magnetic circuit, for coupling to the electrical conductor, wherein the magnetic circuit has an air gap. A magnetic-field-sensitive component is located in the air gap in the magnetic circuit and is used to measure the magnetic field produced by the electrical conductor. Two control cores are arranged in the air gap in the magnetic circuit, wherein the control cores each have a control winding for magnetic saturation of the respective control core. The magnetic-field-sensitive component is arranged between the control cores and one or more additional elements are located in the vicinity of the magnetic-field-sensitive component, and are suitable for guidance of disturbing magnetic fields in the vicinity of the magnetic-field-sensitive component, independent of the control cores.

  • Patent number: 6741156
    Abstract: A rod-core transformer for use as a starting transformer in the cap of a high-pressure discharge lamp for a motor vehicle headlight. The rod-core transformer has at least two cores (2, 3) which are in the form of rods and are arranged alongside one another, and on each of which a multilayer secondary winding (4, 5) is wound, with the respective layers (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) and (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) being connected in parallel and being arranged one above the other without any offset. Furthermore the secondary windings (4, 5) are electrically conductively connected to one another, with their total resistance being at most 2&OHgr;. The transformer is particularly highly suitable for use as a starting transformer for high-pressure discharge lamps with a low operating voltage, for example halogen metal-vapor high-pressure discharge lamps which do not contain mercury.
