Abstract: Blooming in a lidar measurement is recognized using a distance from a lidar reflection point determined in an active measurement and a passive measurement. A first distance value is determined in the active measurement, based on a signal duration of a laser pulse, and a second distance value is determined in the passive measurement, based on a triangulation of two-dimensional intensity measurements carried out from different measuring positions. Blooming is identified when the second distance value exceeds the first distance value by a pre-determined amount.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting surroundings around a vehicle may include the step of periodically scanning the surroundings in a first detection region by a laser scanner. The method may also include detecting the surroundings in a second detection region by an optical camera. The first detection region and the second detection region may at least overlap each other. An optical sensor in the camera may be exposed at least twice within one period of the laser scanner. A first exposure time for a first exposure of the at least two exposures of the optical sensor may be chosen and synchronized with the laser scanner so that the first exposure occurs within a first time window, in which the laser scanner scans the first detection region.

Abstract: A method for generating a digital image pair for training a neural network to correct noisy image components of noisy images includes determining an extent of object movements within an overlapping region of a stored first digital image and a stored second digital image of an environment of a mobile platform, and determining a respective acquired solid angle of the environment of the mobile platform of the first and second digital images. The method further includes generating the digital image pair from the first digital image and the second digital images, when the respective acquired solid angles of the environment of the first and the second digital image do not differ from one another by more than a defined difference, and the extent of the object movements within the overlapping region of the first and the second digital image is less than a defined value.

Abstract: In order to provide a bearing for an already prepositioned switching shaft, fitted with coupling levers, of a low-voltage circuit breaker in the region where the switching forces act, a bearing assembly is provided. The bearing assembly includes a bearing body which is mounted on the housing front wall of the switch pole, surrounding the switching shaft in the form of a half shell. The bearing body includes a subregion which projects between two coupling levers, which are at a distance from one another and are connected to a movable switching contact. It thus forms side guide surfaces for the coupling levers. Such a bearing assembly can be arranged in both the end regions of the switching shaft in multipole circuit breakers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a regulating device (1) for a motor, comprising a housing (2) which can be associated with said motor and in which a control unit (5) and an actuator (6) are arranged. Due to heat-related reasons, said device can only be used in an encapsulated manner, for example close to a motor. In order to solve this problem, the actuator (6) comprises an electromagnetic switching element (8a,8b) and the control signal (7) for the same is designed as a timing signal which is measured—taking into consideration at least one heat source inside or optionally outside the housing (2)—in such a way that the operating temperature of the electromagnetic switching element (8a,8b) is below an upper authorised limiting value.

Abstract: An aim of an embodiment of the invention is to couple load feeders to back plane buses without the danger of the junctions being damaged. For this purpose, a back plane bus module is provided with a coupling element, especially a BUS-ASIC with which a point-to-point communication link to the automation device or the load feeder can be established. An optical interface is connected to the BUS-ASIC and is used to establish communication to a load feeder by an optical coupling. The optical coupling can for example prevent plug connections from being damaged when the load feeder is coupled thereto and at the same time provide for galvanic separation.

Abstract: An actuator unit includes a base actuator and an additional actuator, via which a useful circuit can be opened and closed. Given proper functioning, the base actuator can be activated by supplying electric energy and deactivated by not supplying electric energy. The additional actuator can be deactivated by supplying electric energy and can be activated via manual operation. A control unit deactivates the additional actuator only when an actual activation state of the base actuator differs from a desired activation state of the base actuator.

Abstract: A rapid electrical connection system is made up of a mounting plate for securing form-coded flat cables, an intermediate carrier serving as a power socket and a device adapter which can be swiveled on, in particular a load feeder capable of communication, as the main components. The flat cable for the power connection and the flat cables for signal transmission and backup power supply, are all contacted by penetrative contacting. The electrical connection of the device adapter takes place during the swiveling-on action.
