  • Arrangement and method for generating a reference impulse for a position measuring device
    Patent number: 8341852
    Abstract: An arrangement for generating a reference impulse for a position measuring device, wherein the position measuring device includes a scale with at least one incremental track and at least one reference mark and a scanning unit for generating position signals by scanning the at least one incremental track and for generating an analog reference impulse by scanning the at least one reference mark. The arrangement includes a reference impulse memory unit that receives the analog reference impulse and stores the received analog reference impulse as a stored reference impulse. The arrangement further includes a reference impulse generating unit in communication with the reference impulse memory unit.

  • Voltage converter circuit providing an usable output voltage from a very low input voltage
    Patent number: 7436156
    Abstract: An arrangement comprising at least one electrical voltage source (1) and one first voltage converter circuit (2) with an output (3) and an input (4). In this arrangement, the electrical voltage source (1) is connected to the input (4) of the first voltage converter circuit (2) and the output (3) of the first voltage converter circuit (2) can be connected to an electrical load (5). An input circuit (6) comprising an electromechanical switching element (7) and an inductance (8) is formed and the switching element (7) automatically opens and closes once or several times in dependence on a physical quantity, wherein an output circuit (10) comprising a capacitive element is formed.
