Abstract: A method for preconfiguring an appliance having a configuration memory configured to have information written to it when the appliance is in a deactivated state, wherein the appliance is configured to make contact with at least one further appliance during operation, includes capturing a data record from the appliance, wherein the data record contains at least identification data from the appliance. The method further includes determining a piece of configuration information from the appliance by using the data record and at least one data record from the at least one further appliance, and writing the configuration information to the configuration memory of the appliance in order to preconfigure the appliance.

Abstract: A status detecting device is described for being attached to a living being, in particular a person, to detect the position of the body of the living being, having a first sensor, configured as an acceleration sensor and/or a gyroscopic sensor. An additional, second sensor, configured as a height measuring sensor, is also provided. Also described is a corresponding method.

Abstract: A movement sensor for establishing a movement profile of a living being, in particular a human, is characterized in that the movement sensor has an arrangement for automatically changing between various operating modes.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for determining at least one predetermined movement of at least one part of a body of a living being. The method includes reading in movement data representing a movement at least of the at least one part of the body of the living being and reading in comparison data from a memory, the comparison data representing a predetermined movement of the at least one part of the body. The method also includes comparing the movement data with the comparison data. Furthermore, the method includes recognizing the predetermined movement of the at least one part of the body if the movement data are in a predetermined relationship with respect to the comparison data in order to determine the movement of the at least one part of a body of the living being.

Abstract: A method for making a communication available between data modules that are interconnected via communication units of a device for making the communication available, in which at least one data module is automatically selected by at least one communication unit via a data protocol.

Abstract: A system for evaluating the movement of a patient having a first display unit for displaying a reference movement, a first detection unit, to be situated in particular in the location of the patient, for detecting the movement of the patient, an evaluation unit for ascertaining a measure characterizing a deviation between the detected movement and the reference movement, which is finally displayed on the first or a second display unit. It is possible to achieve an evaluation of the movement of the patient that is independent of the presence of a therapist.

Abstract: A device to be worn by a patient for controlling movements of the patient is described. As to the device to be worn by a patient for controlling movements of the patient, the device has a sensor unit for recording measured values regarding a movement of the patient, an evaluation unit for determining a measure characterizing or describing the movement, a comparator for comparing the determined measure with a specifiable comparison measure and for determining a deviation, as well as a signal unit for displaying a determined deviation.

Abstract: A patch for detecting movements of a body and its use.

Abstract: A method for making a communication available between data modules that are interconnected via communication units of a device for making the communication available, in which at least one data module is automatically selected by at least one communication unit via a data protocol.

Abstract: A device for measuring a motion of a vehicle includes an acceleration sensor situated on a wheel and an appertaining evaluation circuit. The sensor system operates especially accurately and reliably if the acceleration sensor is mounted on the wheel in such a way that the main sensing direction lies essentially in the tangential direction of the wheel.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling operational sequences, particularly in a vehicle, at least one sensor having a connection unit being connected via a bus system to at least one control unit for controlling the operational sequences, the control unit likewise having a connection unit, and sensor information being transmitted to the control unit, the control unit reading in and/or processing the sensor information at specifiable synchronization points, the synchronization points being ascertained independently of one another in the control unit and in the sensor by, in each case, a synchronization element in such a way with an allowance that the sensor information is available at the synchronization point for the control unit in a manner that it is able to be read in and/or processed.

Abstract: A comparison circuit (1), obtained according to MOS technology, for comparing two input voltages and comprising a differential amplifier (8). During a first time period, a first input (-) of the differential amplifier is supplied, via a first capacitor (9) and a switch (10), with a first input voltage (Ue). During a second time period, succeeding the first time period, a second input voltage (Ud) is supplied to the first input (-) of the amplifier by means of the first capacitor and a switch (11) of a switch arrangement (10, 11). The second input (+) of the differential amplifier is connected to a reference voltage during the first time period and its output is at that time connected to the first input and to the second input (+) of the amplifier via switches (12) and (16), respectively. The second input (+) of the differential amplifier is connected through a second capacitor (13) and a change-over device (14, 15) to the reference voltage source (17).
