  • Patent number: 11252803
    Abstract: In order to achieve a universal, flexible and highly integrated operating device for driving various lamps, ensuring the protection of the entire operating device and of the appliances connected thereto by means of staggered protective measures at both the input and the output, starting from the preamble of claim 1, a first branch for connecting a lamp to a first of the interface circuits (SS1) and a second branch for connecting at least one communication module to a second of the interface circuits (SS2) are connected to the coarse protection circuit (G) which short-circuits an overvoltage of the mains voltage occurring at the input of the operating device. In the first branch, a line filter (NF) is connected to the coarse protection circuit (G) and a clamp circuit (K) consisting of the fine protection circuit (F) and of a first energy absorber (E1) is connected to the line filter (NF).

  • Patent number: 11046458
    Abstract: A light suitable for lighting take-off and landing runways and taxiways of airports that includes a housing cover provided with a light passage opening, an optical system including at least one light-emitting diode module with at least one LED-chain having a plurality of light-emitting diodes as light sources, a reflector, and a prism having a shape complementary to that of the light passage opening, an insert and a sealing ring, which is arranged between the housing cover and the insert. On an underside of the housing cover of the light, the at least one LED module and reflector are arranged in a first chamber, which is separated from a second chamber of the light by a seal including a flexible insulating and heat-conducting film arranged between the reflector and the underside of the housing cover.

  • Patent number: 9975393
    Abstract: A self-pumping hydropneumatic suspension strut includes a high pressure area and a low pressure area, wherein pressurized medium is exchanged between the high pressure area and the low pressure area via a passive pump device. At least two separate channel systems with connection orifices which determine level position and are controlled depending on the position of a piston rod are provided between the high pressure area and the low pressure area. One of the channel systems can be blocked by a valve device, and wherein the suspension strut has a displacing device with a spring seat for a supporting spring. The displacing device is operated via the working movement of the piston rod.

  • Patent number: 9344108
    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator for a switching amplifier, which achieves a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the multi-MHz range and keeps the noise-transfer function over the useful frequency range as low and as flat as possible. A series connection of a parallel-serial converter and a downstream swap element for the serial output signal ya2 of the parallel serial converter is connected to the multi-bit output of the delta-sigma-modulator. The swap element swaps, based on the last bit value 0 or 1 of a preceding word in the resulting output signal ya3, the sequence of the binary zeroes and ones of the current word, where present, and then an input signal is fed to the delta-sigma-modulator. The signal is capable of having a frequency range above 25 kHz, and is prepared with a low oversampling ratio and a high SNR. And, 1-0 or 0-1 transitions are largely eliminated at the word boundaries.
