Abstract: A static gas flowmeter for sensing a flow of gas includes an outer housing, a flow tube coupled to an outlet or an inlet, ?1 sensor positioned for sensing gas flowing through the flow tube, and a controller including a memory including a flow calibration and flow measurement algorithm coupled to a sensor receiving a sensing signal. An integrated gas valve is connected to the inlet or outlet and/or there is an additional external valve positioned outside the housing coupled to the inlet to provide the gas flowmeter at least two state operation. Using the valve(s), the flow calibration algorithm triggers a zero-flow condition, then obtains a measured gas flow, and from the measured gas flow a flow offset is determined. If the flow offset is outside a predetermined limit, in-line calibrating is performed by adding the flow offset reflected as a correction factor to the flow measurement algorithm.

Abstract: A method for setting up a virtual ad hoc network for transmitting at least one piece of information to a first transportation vehicle as a first network subscriber. The method includes the information being provided based on first data from at least one second network subscriber, and at least one second network subscriber being a second transportation vehicle or an infrastructure component; wherein a motor-vehicle-external, central data processing device receives second data from multiple potential second network subscribers and takes the second data and at least one space-time parameter as a basis for determining the second network subscribers and setting up the virtual ad hoc network with the first transportation vehicle, as the first network subscriber, and the determined second network subscribers, the space-time parameter defining a specific area of relevance that has a predetermined physical and temporal correlation with the current position of the first transportation vehicle.

Abstract: An electrosurgical system includes: an electrosurgical supply device, and an electrosurgical instrument, wherein the electrosurgical instrument includes a memory element which can be read out by the electrosurgical supply device when the electrosurgical instrument is connected to the electrosurgical supply device, and configuration data is stored on the memory element, which can be evaluated by the electrosurgical supply device in order to configure operating parameters which are compatible with the electrosurgical instrument. The electrosurgical system is characterized in that the configuration data is arranged in a flexible data structure which allows the memory element to simultaneously store multiple sets of configuration data which can be read and evaluated by different types of electrosurgical supply devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell vehicle (200), in which the driver has more influence on the consumption and the dynamic of the vehicle (200). This is achieved by the fuel cell vehicle (200) comprising at least one sensor for detecting a first driver input and a control unit (60). The control unit (60) is configured to operate the fuel cell vehicle (200) in one of a plurality of operating modes depending on the first driver input, wherein a power consumption PAC of the air-conditioning system (70), an operating range of the fuel cell stack (10), and a transfer function for determining the power demand PEM from the second driver input are varied depending on the selected operating mode. It is provided that the driver has at least five different operating modes available, which differ in particular with respect to the available driving dynamic, the fuel consumption, and the adjustable comfort.
