Abstract: A system having electric consumers includes an electrical device including an operating device and wires supplying the consumer. A first wire is provided for conducting the first phase of a three-phase voltage during a normal operation, a second wire conducts a second phase of the three-phase voltage, and a third wire conducts a third phase of the three-phase voltage. The consumer is able to be supplied with the three-phase voltage from the wires during a normal operation. The operating device is configured so that: in a normal operation, the first wire is connected to the first phase of the three-phase voltage; and in a safety case, the first wire is separated from the first phase of the three-phase voltage and will be or is connected to the second phase of the three-phase voltage.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method for operating an apparatus having a mobile part which is movable on a movement plane and has a measuring unit, and a measuring body which is set apart from the movement plane and from the plane parallel to the movement plane that includes the measuring unit, for example, and is situated as far as possible from the movement plane, the measuring unit is adapted to determine the distance between the measuring body and the measuring unit in a normal direction to the movement plane, and the measuring body is shaped such that in the projection of the measuring body perpendicular onto the plane, e.g., the projection surface, an individual distance value is bijectively allocated to the, or to the plurality of, partial surface regions of the projection surface, which particularly do not overlap one another.

Abstract: A foil element and a method for producing such a foil element. The foil element includes a dielectric carrier layer, which spans an xy plane of a Cartesian coordinate system having an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis, and at least one electrically conductive layer which is arranged on the carrier layer and in which a conductor track is shaped in a frame-shaped region of the foil element. The frame-shaped region is formed by the area of a larger, outer rectangle having sides each running parallel to the x-axis or y-axis, from which area the area of a smaller, inner rectangle with the same orientation as the outer rectangle is cut out. A mechanical property of the carrier layer is different along the x-axis and the y-axis. More than 50% of the length of at least one conductor track section runs obliquely with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a foil element (1) and to a method for producing such a foil element. The foil element (1) comprises a dielectric carrier layer (10), which spans an xy plane (E) of a Cartesian coordinate system having an x-axis (61), a y-axis (62) and a z-axis (63), and at least one electrically conductive layer which is arranged on the carrier layer (10) and in which a conductor track (27) is shaped in a frame-shaped region (5) of the foil element (1). The frame-shaped region (5) is formed by the area of a larger, outer rectangle (80) having sides (81, 82, 83, 84) each running parallel to the x-axis (61) or y-axis (62), from which area the area of a smaller, inner rectangle (90) with the same orientation as the outer rectangle (80) is cut out.
