Patent number: 9672730Abstract: An apparatus for diagnosis of a communication channel, wherein a communication signal serves for data transmission and is a frequency-modulated signal. The apparatus includes a receiving circuit, which serves for receiving the frequency-modulated signal. The receiving circuit includes a monitoring unit, which serves for determining a signal parameter of the frequency-modulated signal. The receiving circuit also includes a demodulator, which serves to demodulate the frequency-modulated signal. The receiving circuit also includes a signal processing unit, which is connected with the demodulator and with the monitoring unit, wherein the signal processing unit, at least at times, serves for evaluating the signal parameter of the frequency-modulated signal determined by means the monitoring unit and, at least at times, for evaluating the demodulated signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: ENDRESS + HAUSER WETZER GMBH + CO.

Patent number: 9199252Abstract: A shower device according to the invention includes a shower head housing having a jet disk and a multiplicity of jet outlet openings. The jet outlet openings are divided into multiple groups of jet outlet openings. For each group of jet outlet openings, a distinct chamber is formed in the shower head housing. A water inlet can for example be connected by means of a change-over valve to in each case one of the chambers fluidic in parallel. The two chambers are arranged consecutively in the shower head housing. The water exiting the rear chamber as viewed relative to the jet disk can for example pass through the front chamber in a sealed channel or as a jet, which passes through a larger opening of the jet disk.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Hansgrohe SEInventors: Franz Schorn, Klaus Butzke, Markus Wöhrle, Fabian Melle, Juergen Buehler, Sven Kleinwaechter

Publication number: 20080283631Abstract: A shower head according to the invention comprises a rotor with a closing plate which bears against a jet disk with jet passage openings and, when the rotor is rotated, alternately opens and closes said jet passage openings. Pulsed massage jets are generated at the outlet of the jet passage openings as a result. A further jet outlet disk with jet out let openings is arranged downstream of said jet disk, with said jet outlet openings being aligned axially opposite the jet passage openings of the jet disk. Ventilation chambers are arranged between the two disks, said ventilation chambers being connected to the outside of the shower head. The pulsed jets are ventilated downstream of the jet passage openings as a result.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2006Publication date: November 20, 2008Inventors: Markus Wohrle, Ulrich Kinle
