  • Publication number: 20200216103
    Abstract: A strain gauge arrangement for an axle counter has a strain sensor element, a carrier and a railway line structure that is to be monitored. At least one part of the carrier is maintained in an elastically deformed state by the structure when the carrier is secured to the structure. The carrier is formed from a first carrier piece and a second carrier piece, which lie opposite one another at a distance from one another. The strain sensor element has one first fixing point fixed to the first carrier piece, and one second fixing point fixed to the second carrier piece, and a middle section mounted between the fixing points which are not fixed to the first or second carrier piece. The strain gauge arrangement is simple to handle and a drop can be reliably detected and a strain state of the strain sensor element can be predetermined more easily.

  • Patent number: 9789782
    Abstract: The arrangement for disconnecting at least one of a plurality of battery modules in an automotive battery comprises a device arranged to detect that at least one battery module is to be disconnected, and a bypass switch arranged at each battery module, wherein the bypass switch arranged at the detected at least one battery module is controllable to bypass the at least one detected battery module via a bypass path. The arrangement further comprises a disconnect switch arranged at each battery module, wherein the disconnect switch arranged at the at least one bypassed battery module is controllable to disconnect the at least one detected battery module from remaining battery modules, either simultaneously as, or after, the bypassing of the detected battery module.

  • Publication number: 20090298961
    Abstract: Multicomponent systems comprising (A) a component which contains isocyanate-reactive functional groups, is free from isocyanate groups, and contains reactive functional groups having bonds which can be activated with actinic radiation, or is free from these functional groups, and (B) a component which contains isocyanate groups, is free from isocyanate-reactive functional groups, and contains reactive functional groups having bonds which can be activated with actinic radiation, or is free from these functional groups, one of the two components, (A) or (B), containing functional groups having bonds which can be activated with actinic radiation, and component (A) comprising (L) a light stabilizer, selected from the group consisting of low molecular mass, oligomeric and polymeric light stabilizers which contain at least one isocyanate-reactive functional group and (P) a photoinitiator which contains at least one isocyanate-reactive functional group; processes for preparing them, and their use for
