  • Patent number: 9566874
    Abstract: A method for electricity purchase of an electric car (22) at a power charging procedure at a power charging station (30), which is connected to the grid (15), a PV system (10) or other domestic system for generating electricity is feeding current at a first measurement system (16) into the grid (15), and the electric car (22) charges current at a second measurement system (26) from a power charging station (30) where both measurement systems (16, 26) are integrated in a communication network (20) and are, at least indirectly, in communication connection (K1, K2) with each other to control the charging current, preferable to synchronize it with the fed in current.

  • Patent number: 9170195
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and print process control strip determine a curing level of printing inks on printing material. Conventional measuring areas of a print process control strip are always formed by tonal value combinations of individual, reliably thoroughly dried, printing inks, in particular when using intermediate dryers. Measuring the measuring areas furnishes no more accurate information with regard to the curing level of ink combinations in the actual printed image which differ from the combinations of the measuring areas of the print process control strip. A level-of-curing control area is provided, which is formed by overprinting preferably at least four printing inks, in each case in full tone, to obtain statements relating to the curing level of the printing inks with the print process control strip. Measuring the level-of-curing control area provides information about the curing level of all printing ink combinations in the printed image.
