  • Patent number: 10079483
    Abstract: An assembly for electrical protecting a potential short-circuit path in a power network having an energy store and having a system-determined, variable source internal resistance. The assembly includes a separating element, the triggering characteristic of which is insufficiently sized for protecting a first and second conductor section of the potential short-circuit path in a first operating state of the energy store, and a second protection device, which is configured to protect the first and second conductor section against a load which occurs below the triggering limit of the separating element in the first operating state.

  • Patent number: 9657253
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tricresyl phosphate-free oil which can be used as lubricant or hydraulic oil. The oil is distinguished by extremely low human toxicity. In particular, the oil is suitable as turbine oil, i.e. as lubricant oil in aircraft turbines, with which, in the case of a fume event, symptoms of the aerotoxic syndrome in aircraft passengers can be prevented. In addition, the present invention relates to the corresponding use of the turbine oil according to the invention for the prophylaxis of the aerotoxic syndrome in the case of a fume event. In addition, the invention describes a turbine which contains a corresponding turbine oil as lubricant. Furthermore, the method for operating a turbine is indicated.

  • Publication number: 20040237458
    Abstract: A method for the protection or defence of moving objects or persons, characterized in that in the case of endangerment, at least one sleeve-type element is inflated from a collapsed space-saving state by means of a gas which is introduced into said sleeve or by means of a gas generated medium to form a barrier. In this way, efficient and flexible protection of systems, buildings or the like can be protected with non-lethal means. As a result, the inventive method or device suitable for carrying out said method can be used in a multiplicity of ways such as to prevent access or influence groups of persons at large public events.

  • Patent number: 6591753
    Abstract: A propellant device of consisting of a compact charge and a firing system for pipe weapons or ballistic drives is proposed. At least one electromagnetic radiation absorbing medium, e.g. carbon black, is dispersed in the compact charge and can be activated by means of a firing system emitting electromagnetic radiation. The compact charge is thereby disintergrated in fragments through triggering of the firing system and the fragments are accelerated into the gas volume produced during burning of the compact charge. The inventive propellant device avoids the use of chemical firing as well as mechanical firing means. Moreover, fragmentation of the compact charge permits maintenance of the produced maximum pressure over a longer period of time to impart a higher muzzle velocity to an object to be accelerated, e.g. a projectile, a rocket or the like.

  • Patent number: 6567007
    Abstract: An electrical component is proposed that has at least one voltage divider that can be read out using an evaluation unit to identify the electrical component by means of a voltage measurement. An evaluation unit is first connected to the electrical component, and a voltage measurement is carried out and converted by way of an analog-digital converter into a digital code with which the electrical component can be identified. This identification can be output via a data output to an electrical device.
