Abstract: A charging cable for electrical connection of an energy store of a vehicle to an energy supply unit. The charging cable includes a charging line including a coupling and as multiple conductors electrically connected to the coupling, a first connection device including an energy transfer arrangement for electrical connection to the energy store, a second connection device including a first connection for electrical connection to the energy supply unit and including a second connection for detachable electrical connection to the coupling, respectively one electrical conductor of the charging line being assigned to at least a portion of the energy transfer arrangement of the first connection device, the first connection device including a control unit, the first connection device or the charging line including a bypass switch, the bypass switch being switchable between a first switching state and a second switching state based on a type of the second connection device.

Abstract: A system for the processing of the output signal of a particle sensor that operates according to the principle of laser-induced incandescence. The system includes a detector that provides an output signal that characterizes an acquired temperature radiation. It is provided that: a.) the detector is designed and configured such that it provides an output signal that includes a plurality of pulses, and b.) the system includes a summer to which the output signal is supplied at least at times, and that is designed and configured such that it sums the output signal over a time interval.
