  • Patent number: 10062978
    Abstract: The invention relates to a terminal assembly and in particular a series terminal assembly for medium-voltage switchgears. The assembly includes at least two input-side connectors and at least two output-side connectors in addition to a configuration location. The input-side connectors and the output-side connectors are not interconnected in a fixed pre-configured manner. Each of the configuration locations for each input-side connector location and for each output-side connector location has a configuration connector location.

  • Patent number: 9037348
    Abstract: A lane-keeping method and system for a motor vehicle determines a transverse deviation and an misalignment angle of the motor vehicle relative to a target lane centerline, calculates a reference track for the motor vehicle to follow to return to the centerline using the transverse deviation and the misalignment angle, determines a reference yaw rate using a curvature of the reference track and a longitudinal speed of the vehicle, and compares the reference yaw rate with an actual yaw rate of the vehicle to determine a control deviation. A steering input is then applied to a steering system of the motor vehicle to minimize the control deviation.

  • Publication number: 20050049645
    Abstract: An electrostimulator is disclosed having electrode connections which are to be connected, at least at times, to a stimulation unit and to a detection unit of the electrostimulator. The stimulation unit is adapted to generate electrostimulation pulses for the stimulation of body tissue and to deliver the electrostimulation pulses to at least one of the electrode connections. The detection unit is adapted to detect successful stimulation of body tissue on the basis of an electrical signal occurring at at least one electrode connection. The electrostimulator is adapted to record an electrical signal representative of an intracardial electrocardiogram by way of the at least one electrode connection. In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, arranged between the electrode line connection and the detection unit is a high pass filter with a lower limit frequency of greater than 100 Hz, and the detection unit is adapted to evaluate the high pass-filtered electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 6522924
    Abstract: A capture-detection cardiac pacemaker wherein a stimulation success can be reliably detected immediately after stimulation pulse output. The cardiac pacemaker according to this invention generally includes at least one stimulation electrode arranged in the region of the heart designed to output stimulation pulses to the heart, and a control unit connected to a pulse generator for controlling the stimulation pulse output. The control unit is connected to a sensor arranged at the myocardium for checking stimulation success at the heart by detecting the myocardial impedance pattern immediately after a stimulation pulse output and still within the diastolic phase of the heart, and controlling the stimulation pulse output based thereon.
