Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining deformations on an object, wherein the object is illuminated and moved while being illuminated. In the process, the object is observed by means of at least one camera and at least two camera images are generated at different times by said camera. In the camera images, polygonal chains are ascertained in each case for reflections at the object caused by form features. The form features are classified on the basis of the behavior of the polygonal chains over the at least two camera images and a two-dimensional representation is generated, the latter representing a spatial distribution of deformations. Moreover, the invention relates to a corresponding apparatus.

Abstract: A connection or device adapter, which can be placed on a mounting unit at right angles with respect to a longitudinal direction of busbars and mechanically connected, one contact element being electrically conductively connected to the facing busbar in a connection or device adapter per busbar and the contact elements in the connection or device adapter being led up to connection receptacles in the region of a narrow side of the connection or device adapter. If the contact elements are formed as contact bars and are electrically conductively connected to one another by the associated connection receptacles and form connection units and for the connection or device adapter to have receptacles for the connection units in the region of a narrow side and to accommodate the contact elements with contact points positioned in relation to the busbars, the complexity in terms of parts and assembly, in particular for the connection or device adapter, is substantially reduced and simplified.
