Abstract: The present invention relates to a position determination apparatus for the position determination of at least one RFID tag, comprising an RFID reader and a control device, wherein the control device is configured to transmit a radio signal by means of the RFID reader, said radio signal exciting an RFID tag to transmit a response signal. The position determination apparatus is movable to different locations from an original position and the control device is configured to transmit a respective radio signal at at least two different locations and to receive the respective response signal or the respective response signals.

Abstract: A circuit board includes a plurality of conductive track levels disposed one above the other and insulation layers arranged between each of two adjacent conductive track levels. The circuit board includes a thermally conductive element, which includes ceramic, disposed between a first external insulation layer and a second external insulation layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the utilization of data from a plurality of machines, in which operating data from a plurality of machines are detected by a plurality of sensors, wherein the operating data have different first data formats, with the respective first data format depending on the respective sensor; the operating data are converted by at least one abstraction module into abstraction data, wherein the abstraction data have a uniform second data format and are stored in a central memory device; an analysis of the abstraction data is carried out, wherein the analysis is based on operating data from at least two machines; an operating state of one of the machines is assessed with reference to the analysis; and the analysis of the abstraction data is output.
