  • Patent number: 8779891
    Abstract: The invention relates to an access control device, in particular for a switchgear cabinet system, having a central unit, which is designed to receive and evaluate access authorization data stored on personal transponders and to output release signals via a wireless signal transmission link and to release a relevant interlocking unit, and which has an authentication device with a testing stage in which comparison data for testing the received access authorization data for access authorization is present.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8618931
    Abstract: A position-monitoring device for persons in tunnel systems having an evaluation device. Reliable determination of the position of persons in the tunnel system is achieved because a locally distributed arrangement of wireless transceiver units is installed in the tunnel system, at fixed anchoring points known to the evaluation device, in the spaces to be monitored. Persons are equipped with mobile sensors. Transceiver units have wireless data-transmission interfaces via which, on one hand, can be placed in a wireless data-transmitting connection to the mobile and, on the other hand, can be placed in a wire-bound or wireless data-transmitting connection to the evaluation device. Programs with which the position of the persons can be determined on the basis of detection data of the transceiver units are stored in the evaluation device.

  • Publication number: 20120029875
    Abstract: A monitoring unit for the operation of control cabinet devices, particularly a climate control device, having a detection unit for operating state data of the control cabinet devices, a monitoring unit including an analysis unit, and a display unit for displaying informational data on the control cabinet devices for a verifying person. A reliable, clearly laid-out detection of operating states is achieved because the analysis unit has a collection device for different physical operating state data over a previous time duration influencing the function of the control cabinet device, and a calculating device for the operating state data, and that informational data, which is derived from the operating state data while calculating by way of the calculating device, is provided to the display device for the verifying person before any malfunction occurs.

  • Patent number: 7513463
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rail-guided system for transporting persons and material in underground mining and tunnel construction. The rail-guided transport system comprises a railroad network and transport vehicles that are guided in the railroad network. In the transport system, both the forward end and the opposite end of the respective transport vehicle are equipped with sensors (1-6) for detecting optical, acoustic, thermal, and acceleration data, “forward” being relative to the direction of travel. The sensors (1-6) are connected to a control computer that is disposed inside the transport vehicle while interacting with active and passive transducers located within the railroad network.
