Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device, in particular a control device, having a housing. The housing has a cavity, in which there is arranged a circuit carrier fitted with electric and/or electronic components, forming an electric and/or electronic circuit. Furthermore, the electronic device has a fuse element making contact with the circuit carrier in order to protect the electric and/or electronic circuit against electrostatic discharges. In addition, the electric and/or electronic circuit comprises a plug contact which has connecting pins, and the connecting pins make contact with the circuit carrier. Here, the at least one connecting pin is formed as the fuse element, in that the at least one connecting pin is connected to a ground line.

Abstract: A continuous manufacturing plant (100) for processing a strip-like substrate (101). A first drive moves the substrate in a direction of transport (x) and passes through process zones (110, 120, 130), so that different regions of the substrate are processed simultaneously. The process zones comprise a first process zone (110, 120) for a discontinuous process and a second process zone (130) for a continuous process. The continuous process is a reflow soldering process. The reflow soldering process (130) comprises a source of heat (W) and a second drive for moving the source of heat relative to the first process zone along the substrate. The second drive moves the source of heat (W) relative to the first process zone (110, 120) along the substrate (101) opposed to the direction of transport (X) of the substrate (101), even if the first drive is standing still.

Abstract: An electrical device having a housing and moisture-sensitive electrical structural units situated in the housing, having a pressure compensation element situated in a housing part, which avoids, preferably prevents, the ingress of moisture, the pressure compensation element including a diaphragm which is permeable to gas, having an impact protection element situated in front of the diaphragm, which at least avoids spraying a liquid directly onto the diaphragm, wherein the impact protection element is in one piece part of the housing part.

Abstract: Contactless transmission of data for a number of information carriers uses a reader connected alternately at time intervals with a number of antennas, to send polling signals to information carriers and/or to receive information signals from the information carriers. If the connection between the reader and an antenna initially connected with the reader is broken, then simultaneously this antenna that has been disconnected from the reader is connected with at least one further energy source transmitter, in order to continue to supply the information carriers that are in the energy field of this antenna and which have already been read out and/or switched to “silent” or “inactive” with energy to maintain this state.

Abstract: Gas samples are extracted from a rotary cement kiln type furnace in the area of raw material input and exhaust gas discharge from and to, respectively, a cyclone heat exchanger. The intervening chamber is provided with a door covering a passageway into the chamber through which a gas probe, carried by a gas pick-up device, is extended and retracted. The pick-up device is movably mounted in a guide and is provided with a coolant and apparatus for directing a blast of air to clean the probe immediately prior to withdrawal from the furnace. Emergency controls are provided to sequentially clean the probe, withdraw the probe and close the door for the passageway in response to detection of an adverse condition in at least one operating parameter of the system.
