Abstract: A method for collecting machine data from a machine comprising the following steps: collecting image information displayed on a graphical user interface of a machine and transmitting the collected information to a computer unit; masking the collected information or information derived therefrom to define data regions; extracting alphanumeric characters from at least one data region by means of a text recognition program; writing the alphanumeric characters into a data structure; and storing or outputting the data structure.

Abstract: A charged particle detector may include a plurality of sensing elements formed in a substrate, wherein a sensing element of the plurality of sensing elements is formed of a first region on a first side of the substrate, and a second region on a second side of the substrate, the second side being opposite to the first side.

Abstract: A grounding clip for fastening and electrically contacting two cables to a separate surface includes a plate having a first and second longitudinal edges opposite each other and extending in a first direction, and first and second transverse edges opposite each other and extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal edges in a second direction. First and second cable fastening regions for fastening and electrically contacting first and second cables to the plate extends along the first and second transverse edges, respectively. An opening is arranged between the cable fastening regions for inserting a fastener. First and second tabs extend between the first and second cable fastening regions in parallel to the first and second transverse edges, respectively, and perpendicularly to a plane of the plate in a direction of an underside of the plate.

Abstract: An electronic key having the following features. The electronic key has a key housing and a switch housing in the key housing. The switch housing has an inherently rigid frame having at least one first breakout, and a flexibly deformable membrane which is arranged on the frame in order to close the at least one breakout and to forward a force having effect from the outside on the membrane in the region of the breakout to an electrical switch element arranged within the frame. An electronic key having the required amount of stiffness is thus created, in which sensitive electronic components located therein are also protected from environmental influences. If the deformable membrane is not only used for button-related functions, but also for forming an ejection section for an emergency key or as a rattle protection for the emergency key, a multifunctional switch housing can thus be created simply.

Abstract: A portable electronic user device, in the form of an electronic key, having an inherently rigid button for activation by a user. The portable electronic user device further has a flexibly deformable membrane including a first side having at least one support section on which the at least one button is supported via the plunger, and an actuating section, separate from the at least one support section, for receiving and forwarding an actuation of the button to an electrical switch element. There is a rigid frame which bears the membrane on a second side opposite the first side, wherein, in the assembled state, having the membrane in the region of the at least one support section, the frame has at least one breakout, via which the membrane is moveable by the plunger upon activating the at least one button and, in dependence on the size and/or the shape of the breakout, provides a force for resetting the button.
