Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a traffic controller comprising an enclosure that houses an applications processor, the applications processor configured to execute one or more applications; a signal controller processor, the signal controller processor configured to control one or more traffic lights, wherein the applications processor is in data communication with the signal controller processor; a first memory coupled to the applications processor and a second memory coupled to the signal controller processor; one or more communication interfaces; and a retractable display assembly, the retractable display assembly comprising a touch-sensitive display, and a keypad that is adjacent to the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: A connecting part for mounting on two housing parts of an induction hob has a U-shaped cross section overall, as a channel, as seen in the longitudinal direction and has two segments. The two segments are connected together in a displaceable manner in the longitudinal direction and are secured captively to one another. The first segment has a front end and the second segment has a front end. The segments each have a connecting means at their front end for connecting to in each case one housing part of an induction hob in a form-fitting manner.

Abstract: An induction heating device including two induction heating coils and a plug-type contact device has a flat coil carrier for the induction heating coils, the plug-type contact device being arranged on the bottom face of the coil carrier with an insertion direction perpendicular to the surface of the coil carrier. The plug-type contact device has, on the bottom face of the coil carrier, a plug housing being movable with a defined movement travel in a plane parallel to the surface of the coil carrier. The plug housing has four receiving chambers being open at the bottom and having a direction of extent parallel to the insertion direction, in each of which a plug-type contact is arranged. A contact-making line runs from the plug-type contact to the induction heating coil.

Abstract: Power usage is estimated in a computing environment by automatically detecting hardware configuration information by use of a software agent that is translated into power consumption information for implementing a plurality of power estimation models for efficient power consumption and utilization.

Abstract: An operator control device for an electrical appliance has a cover, a rotary actuator as an actuating element and a mount for the rotary actuator. The rotary actuator is arranged under the cover and has a driver disk with contacts, and a component carrier with opposing contacts. The contacts bear against the opposing contacts or conductor tracks as a function of a rotational position. The mount has a mounting frame with an axle which is rotatably mounted thereon for the rotary actuator, which axle penetrates the driver disk, the component carrier and the cover. The axle has an outer contour and the driver disk has an inner contour which corresponds thereto and is rotationally fixed with respect to the outer contour, wherein the driver disk and the axle are arranged so as to be rotationally fixed with respect to one another but axially movable.
