  • Patent number: 11977263
    Abstract: A connector part (1) for an optical plug-in connection comprises a pin holder (2) and at least two pin sleeves (3, 3?) accommodated in the pin holder, wherein a connector pin (4, 4?) having an optical waveguide is fixed in each of said pin sleeves. The connector part also comprises a connector housing (8), which is connected to the pin holder and completely or partially surrounds the connector pins and which has latching means (9) for creating a latching connection to a mating connector part. An unlocking carriage (11) displaceably mounted on the connector housing is provided to release the latching connection to the mating connector part. The pin holder consists of two half shells (12, 12?) which can be or are latched to one another and the connector housing also can be or is latched to the pin holder. A connector part of this kind can be installed fitted and removed without tools even in difficult field conditions, resulting in a significant time saving for optical plug-in connections.

  • Publication number: 20240144043
    Abstract: A method for training a machine-learning module of a computer-implemented prediction model for predicting product quality parameter values for one or more quality parameters of a chemical product produced by a chemical production plant. The production plant includes a plurality of sensors, each of which is configured to acquire process parameter values for one or more process parameters of a chemical process carried out by the production plant for producing the chemical product during operation of the production plant. A priori information about the production plant and the process carried out by the production plant is used, including chronological sequence information about a chronological sequence of the process carried out within the production plant, for which sensors sensor-specific time shifts between an acquisition time of training process parameter values and a production time of a product unit, during the production of which the corresponding training process parameter value was acquired.

  • Publication number: 20240146296
    Abstract: A system and a method for identifying a non-switching semiconductor switch are proposed. The system has a first acquisition component, a second acquisition component and a determination unit. The first acquisition component is designed to acquire a profile of an electrical variable of a first semiconductor switch driven by way of a first drive signal. The second acquisition component is designed to acquire a profile of an electrical variable of a second semiconductor switch driven by way of a second drive signal and connected in parallel with the first semiconductor switch. The determination unit is designed to use the profile of the electrical variable of the first semiconductor switch and the profile of the electrical variable of the second semiconductor switch as a basis for determining an output signal that allows identification of a non-switching semiconductor switch for the first semiconductor switch and/or the second semiconductor switch.

  • Publication number: 20230268691
    Abstract: A connector assembly for electrical connectors, including a housing (1) with electrical contacts (5) located therein and an insertion opening (3) for a complementary connector. The insertion opening is bounded on the insertion side primarily by an edge section (7) or a ridge rising above the insertion-side end face, and has a circumferentially bounded recess (8) in the region of the outer edge of the insertion opening. The recess includes an intermediate space between two mutually facing sections (7a) of the edge or ridge. A limiting element (10, 15) at least partially limits the intermediate space of the edge or ridge in the region of the circumferentially limited recess in the region of the outer edge of the insertion opening and bridges it as its continuation. On its side facing the insertion opening the limiting element forms a partial region of the boundary of the insertion opening.

  • Patent number: 11691176
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to coated non-metallic substrates and coated metallic substrates, and methods for producing such coated substrates. A variant of the method is characterized in that a mat or glossy coating is underneath a metallic layer obtained in some cases by way of vapor deposition and/or sputtering. In another variant, the metallic is sufficiently thin so that it remains transparent or translucent to visible light. The coated substrates may include multiple layers such as metallic layers, polysiloxane layers, a color layer, a conversion layer, a primer layer, and/or a transparent or colored layer. An application system for applying a metallic layer to at least one surface of a substrate may include a plasma generator and/or a corona system for treating one or more layers by plasma treatment and/or corona treatment.

  • Publication number: 20230191826
    Abstract: The present invention firstly relates to a security feature for a security or value document. The security feature comprises a zinc sulfide lurninophore in the form of particles. The zinc sulfide lurninophore has the general chemical formula ZnS: Cux, My, Xz; here, M represents one or more elements from a group comprising the chemical elements Co, In and Ni; X represents one or more elements from a group comprising the halides F, Cl, Br and I; and the following applies: 0 < x < 0.002 and 0 ? y < 0.00015 and 0 ? z < 0.00050. The particles each have cubic phase portions and hexagonal phase portions. When excited by an electrical field, the zinc sulfide luminophore emits a first radiation in the range of the light spectrum between 580 nm and 780 nm. When excited by heating the luminophore to a temperature between 100° C. and 150° C., the zinc sulfide luminophore emits a second radiation in the light spectrum.

  • Patent number: 10823919
    Abstract: A plug-in connector part for a plug-in connection, the plug-in connector part including a housing having first and second housing parts which are screw-connected together by a releasable screw connection. A fixed toothing is fixed on the first housing part and a locking ring and a preload spring are mounted on the second housing part. The locking ring is mounted on the second housing part so as to be displaceable and the preload spring preloads the locking ring in a direction toward an engagement position and the locking ring engages in the fixed toothing in the engagement position. With the locking ring in the engagement position, the screw connection is blocked in the connected state to prevent the screw connection being unscrewed. The locking ring is movable to a release position where the screw connection is rotatable in the connected state for unscrewing.
