Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices described herein provide for operating a lighting fixture with a plurality of light sources at a target chromaticity with a target output spectral power distribution. The methods include multiplying a first spectral power distribution by a second spectral power distribution to determine a product spectral power distribution, multiplying the product spectral power distribution by an illuminant spectral power distribution to determine the target output spectral power distribution at the target chromaticity, and driving the plurality of light sources at intensities corresponding to the target output spectral power distribution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mineral processing plant for crushing mineral material or the like, using a crushing device and an internal combustion engine, wherein in a first mode of operation an internal combustion engine is mechanically coupled to the crushing device to drive the latter, wherein a generator is provided, which is mechanically coupled to an internal combustion engine to drive this generator, and wherein the generator is coupled to one or more auxiliary units to supply to supply electric power thereto. In this context, provision is made for an electric motor to be provided separately from the generator, which electric motor is mechanically coupled to the crushing device in a second operating mode to drive the crushing device. The invention further relates to a method for operating such a mineral processing plant. The mineral processing plant makes for an energy-efficient operation.

Abstract: A crusher includes an internal combustion engine, a crusher unit and a drive train connecting the internal combustion engine and the crusher unit. The drive train includes a motor coupling, a crusher unit coupling and a motor generator. The motor generator includes a motor rotor and a motor stator. The motor rotor includes a motor generator shaft coupled to both an output end of the motor coupling and an input end of the crusher unit coupling in a rotationally fixed manner. The motor generator has a motor mode of operation in which the motor generator provides mechanical work for driving the crusher unit. The motor generator has a generator mode of operation in which the motor generator is driven by the internal combustion engine to generate electrical power.

Abstract: A drive system for driving a crusher of a material crusher plant having a main drive and a power transfer unit driven by the main drive, wherein the power transfer unit drives at least one generator and a first hydraulic pump which is connected to the power transfer unit in a shiftable manner. It is provided that a shiftable fluid coupling is installed in the transmission path from the power transfer unit to the crusher, that the shiftable fluid coupling and a pump are interconnected in a fluid conveying manner in a pump circuit and that a fluid can be supplied to the shiftable fluid coupling by means of the pump. A method of operating such a crusher is also provided.
