Abstract: A supply cable for electrically connecting a vehicle to an energy supply apparatus that supplies electrical energy and/or to a load that requires electrical energy. The supply cable includes: a connecting line; a primary connector which is electrically couplable or coupled to the connecting line and has a vehicle terminal for detachable electrical connection to the vehicle, in particular to the energy storage device; a secondary connector which is electrically couplable or coupled to the connecting line and has a secondary terminal which is provided for detachable electrical connection to the energy supply apparatus or to the electrical load; a detection unit for detecting animals in the surroundings of the supply cable; and an output unit for outputting scaring signals for scaring off the detected animal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a supply cable (10) for electrically connecting a vehicle (12) both to an energy supply device (16) and to a consumer, comprising: —a connecting line (13) having a coupling (6); —a primary connector (14) which is electrically coupled to the connecting line (13) and which has a vehicle connection point (14A) for releasably electrically connecting to the vehicle (12); —a secondary connector (15A) which, depending on its type, is provided either for releasably electrically connecting to the energy supply device (16) or to the consumer; wherein the vehicle connection point (14A) has at least one transmission element by means of which a status line of the supply cable (10) can be connected to the vehicle (12), the status line being designed to have a first characteristic indicating readiness of the supply cable (10) to transmit electrical energy to the vehicle (12) and to have a second characteristic indicating readiness of the supply cable (10) to draw electrical energy from the v

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.
