Abstract: The present invention relates to frame elements for monopolar fuel cell stacks, permitting a simplified electrical wiring and/or a simplified and improved assembly of monopolar fuel cell stacks. They permit a significant miniaturization of monopolar arrangements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plate element for a fuel cell stack which comprises a frame region and at least one inner region which is surrounded by the frame region. In addition, it has a plurality of webs which extend from the frame region into the at least one inner region and define a flow guidance structure in the at least one inner region, in which at least four bore holes are in the frame region of which at least two are connected with the flow guidance structure.

Abstract: The invention related to a method and an electronic measuring device for detecting a process variable connectable to a two-wire line (101) for providing the supply energy and for digital communication with a process control, and a method for operating such a measuring device. An inventive measuring device includes a sensor means (114, 115, 123, 124; 314, 315, 323, 324) for measuring the process variable, a controlling device (117; 317) for controlling components of the measuring device, a voltage measuring device (116; 316) for measuring the supply voltage applied through the two-wire line (101), and a current control unit (122; 322) by means of which the current for supplying the measuring devices can be modified in a temporally appropriate manner as a function of the supply voltage measured by the voltage measuring device (116; 316).
