  • Patent number: 7432789
    Abstract: An electromagnetic switching device includes an electromagnetic drive device and at least one electrical contact that, when a starting current is applied to the drive device, can be transferred by the drive device from a disconnect position (contact opened) into a bridging position (contact closed). When the switching device is fully installed, the contact can be blocked in the disconnect position and can be mechanically blocked in the disconnect position by an arresting element that can be connected to the switching device. As a result, the contact remains in the disconnect position even when the starting current is applied to the drive device.

  • Patent number: 7379796
    Abstract: A low-altitude flight guidance system for an aircraft including a warning generator that generates a warning based upon a predicted position. The system further including a first sensor system having a terrain database and a calculation module that determines a current position of the aircraft with respect to terrain stored in the terrain database and that determines a reference altitude hDB of the terrain at the current position. The system further includes a second sensor system and a module that determines a predetermined flight altitude difference ?hF at the predicted position and terrain data in a region U of the predicted position. Moreover, the system includes an altitude prediction module that predicts an altitude and forwards the predicted altitude to the warning generator. The warning is based upon the aircraft reaching, approaching, or exceeding a warning altitude limit, and the altitude prediction module determination for the predicted position is based upon a prediction set point.

  • Publication number: 20070004260
    Abstract: A switchgear is disclosed with a conductor connection created via a ring cable lug. The switchgear includes a pre-mounted structural component provided with a holder and a screw with a washer assembly which is held by the holder and forms, together with a connection part, a clamping point for a conductor connection created by means of a ring shoe lug. The holder can be displaced between an open position and a closed position of the clamping point, and is subjected to the action of a spring element that holds it in the open position when the clamping point is released.

  • Patent number: 7030723
    Abstract: An electromagnetic switching device includes an electromagnetic drive apparatus and has a moving contact element which can be operated by this drive apparatus. The moving contact element can be switched between a bridging position, which connects a pair of stationary contacts, and a disconnected position, which disconnects the stationary contacts. The electromagnetic switching device also has an actuating apparatus having an actuating element which interacts with the moving contact element and can be moved between an operating position and a safe position. In the operating position, the moving contact element can be switched by the electromagnetic drive apparatus between the bridging position and the disconnected position. Further, by movement of the actuating element to the safe position, the moving contact element can be blocked from moving from the bridging position to the disconnected position, and can be blocked in the disconnected position.
