Abstract: A controller controls passenger transport system functionalities and a safety device monitors a safety-relevant function of the system by storing a configured parameter to transfer to a “configured” state. The method includes: the controller receiving a configuration parameter; transmitting the configuration parameter to the safety device; storing a configured parameter in the safety device, based upon the received configuration parameter; transmitting configured data from the safety device to the controller, the configured data encoding an item of graphic information that is shown on a display of the controller, the graphic information uniquely reproducing the configured parameter in a visual, machine-readable manner; reading out the graphic information by an optical read-out sensor of a mobile, processor-controlled data processing device; and comparing the configured parameter reproduced by the read-out graphic information to a target configuration parameter.

Abstract: A system and method for determining an elevator car position uses position markers situated in the elevator shaft and each assigned a discrete car position, first and second detection devices on the elevator car detecting first and second position markers respectively, and an evaluation unit that determines first and second discrete car positions based on the detected first and second position markers respectively. A single interpolation device of the position determining system determines first and second interpolated car positions. The evaluation unit determines first and second car positions based on the first and second discrete car positions and the first and second interpolated car positions respectively. The interpolation device generates an interpolation parameter that characterizes a position of the first detection device relative to the first position marker and determines the first and second interpolated car positions on the basis of the interpolation parameter.

Abstract: A method for configuring security related configuration parameters is used in a passenger transport installation that includes at least one sensor exchanging sensor signals with a control. The sensor detects operating parameters within the passenger transport installation and emits corresponding sensor signals. The control controls security related functions of the passenger transport installation taking into account the sensor signals and the configuration parameters. The method includes: comparing the sensor signals with a predefined key signal pattern; operating the control temporarily in a configuration mode exclusively if the compared sensor signals correspond to the key signal pattern; and configuring the security related configuration parameters during the configuration mode. An installation-specific sensor (e.g. optical sensor or magnetic field sensor) functions as an interface to put the control into configuration mode in a targeted manner, e.g.

Abstract: A sealing element for sealing a strand-shaped body in an aperture of a wall, in particular for sealing a loom of cables in an aperture of a vehicle-body sheet, has a bush through which the strand-shaped body is guided. The bush has a circumferential wall bounding a cavity. A clamping element for clamping the bush against the aperture reaches with an extension into the cavity. The extension and/or the cavity are of a conical configuration such that, during clamping with the clamping element, the extension is pressed into the cavity, and therefore the circumferential wall is clamped radially against the aperture in the region of the conical configuration.

Abstract: A passive infrared detector has a first sensor (1) for generating an infrared signal, representative of the difference in temperature between a heat source and the background environment of the detector, a second sensor (3), influenced by the ambient temperature in the detector, and an evaluation circuit (2) for processing the infrared signal. The evaluation circuit contains a temperature compensation (4) for influencing the sensitivity of the detector as a function of the ambient temperature. The temperature compensation (4) is designed in such a way that the sensitivity of the detector is not directly influenced by changes in the ambient temperature. Influencing of the sensitivity of the detector takes place with delay and/or as a function of the speed of the change in the ambient temperature.
