  • Publication number: 20230047234
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a radar sensor, in particular a long range radar sensor, in a motor vehicle. The radar sensor has a detection range defined by an area in front of the motor vehicle or an area behind the motor vehicle. The radar sensor is operated with a transmitting power that determines the detection range of the radar sensor, and radar data of the radar sensor is evaluated within the radar sensor to detect objects in the detection range. The transmitting power of the radar sensor is increased from a first transmitting power value to a second transmitting power value when a switching criterion is met, indicating that no objects satisfying a relevance criterion have been detected by the radar sensor.

  • Patent number: 11442085
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an operating state of an energy supply network connects a data processing cloud to selected communication units at a query time over long-range communication connections. Selected communication units transmit measured values and/or values derived therefrom to the data processing cloud over a long-range connection. To receive measured values and/or values derived therefrom, each communication unit is connected, over a short-range communication connection, to at least one sensor on or in a high-voltage device of the network for capturing measured values. The data processing cloud determines the network operating state within an analysis based on measured values and/or values derived therefrom. To provide a simple and cost-effective analysis of the entire network operating state, the data processing cloud during analysis uses measured values and/or values derived therefrom from at least two selected communication units at different locations.

  • Publication number: 20210247571
    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.

  • 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.
