  • Patent number: 12204094
    Abstract: A method for operating a MEMS system having a projection unit for providing an image via a light beam, and a deflecting unit for the two-dimensional deflection of the at least one light beam. The method includes: driving the deflecting unit via a reference signal, so that the deflecting unit periodically deflects a light beam at least two-dimensionally, measuring a controlled variable of the deflecting unit that corresponds to an actual position of the deflected light beam, ascertaining a current deviation of the controlled variable from a target variable that corresponds to a target position of the light beam, calculating a compensating variable based on the ascertained deviation, controlling the deflecting unit and/or controlling the projection unit based on the calculated compensating variable for reducing the deviation of the light beam from the target position. The compensating variable is additionally calculated based on an earlier deviation in an earlier period.

  • Patent number: 10243398
    Abstract: Device for an energy generation unit of a user's installation, which is connected to an energy supply network and to at least one energy consumption unit of the user's installation and comprises a programmable logic control which controls an internal energy consumption, by the energy consumption units of the user's installation, of the energy generated by the energy generation unit.

  • Publication number: 20150162748
    Abstract: A method for operating an inverter (1) of a photovoltaic installation is specified, wherein a reference value/reference profile of at least one parameter of the photovoltaic installation is compared with an actual value/actual profile of said parameter. If the deviation between said actual value/actual profile and the reference value/reference profile exceeds a predefinable threshold, then the inverter function of the inverter (1) is at least temporarily disabled. Furthermore, an inverter (1) for carrying out said method is specified.

  • Patent number: 9000348
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for performing a switching operation with the aid of a operation element (13). In order to avoid mechanical components, at least one light-emitting diode (14) is used as the operating element (13), and the voltage (U) on the at least one light-emitting diode (14) is measured in the switched-off state, and the switching operation is performed when the measured voltage (15) falls below a pregiven lower threshold (18) over a pregiven time period (19).
