Patent number: 7717575Abstract: The invention relates to a triple prism which reflects light, a reflector and to a method for recognizing an object. A reflective photoelectric barrier sends light to a reflector. The reflector does not answer with the form of the obtained light signal, but with a double signal which projects two light centers. The reflector can also be embodied such that it answers with a different geometric figure than the light projection. The reflector with a modified signal enables a sensor system to be produced and which can verify, by evaluating the light signal captured by the reflector, whether the captured signal of the reflector or another reflection.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: IMOS Gubela GmbHInventors: Hans-Erich Gubela, Sr., Hans-Erich Gubela, Jr., Markus Erwin Huber, Simon Weingärtner

Publication number: 20090234980Abstract: A system and method for statistics recording of power devices is disclosed. A power circuit includes a power device to provide a specified electrical power to a load and a host controller coupled to the power device. The host controller is configured to provide issue instructions to and retrieve status information from the power device. A communications and control interface (CCI) is coupled between the power device and the host controller. The CCI is configured to operate as a communications interface between the power device and the host controller and to retrieve and store status information from the power device. The CCI may be capable of performing statistical analysis on the status information to help reduce the amount of information exchanged between the host controller and the power device, thereby reducing bandwidth requirements.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2008Publication date: September 17, 2009Inventors: Jens Barrenscheen, Giuseppe Bernacchia, Martin Krueger, Erwin Huber
