  • Publication number: 20230225071
    Abstract: A radio sensor module having a sensor base module having at least one sensor circuit board that has a sensor, and/or having a terminal for connection to a sensor external to the radio sensor module; a process terminal and/or an extended sensor terminal; a housing portion that accommodates the sensor base module and the sensor circuit board; and a radio sensor unit having a structural carrier that carries therein a radio circuit board and an energy store that supplies the radio circuit board with electrical energy. The energy store has an electrical battery and an electrical condenser which are electrically connected in parallel. A modular system is also provided for forming such a radio sensor module.

  • Patent number: 10794787
    Abstract: A diaphragm seal assembly, which includes a measuring instrument, a pressure being transmitted from a process side to be monitored, via an arrangement of two diaphragms having an evacuated intermediate space disposed therebetween, to the measuring instrument, reliably separated from the process side, the fatigue strength of the diaphragm seal assembly under extreme application conditions being improved.

  • Patent number: 10372940
    Abstract: A system and method for pseudonymizing digital data records sent from a source system to a destination system, using an identity protector client system and an identity protector master system, includes the steps of receiving, at the identity protector client, person-specific data from a source system provided with a source identifier. The digital data records are pre-pseudonymized by the identity protector client, and the processed digital data records are marked with a source identifier which references the source file in the source system. The pre-pseudonymized digital data records are transmitted to the identity protector master. For every data record, a pseudonym is created by the identity protector master from the pre-pseudonym, the source identifier, and at least one other value generated from an erratic value and a time value. The pseudonym is transmitted to the destination system.
