Abstract: Techniques related to improving performance of an automated control system for drilling with a drilling system, comprising directing drilling tools on a drilling rig to drill, a borehole using the automated control system, obtaining, from one or more surface sensors disposed at a surface of the drilling site, surface sensor data relating to surface drilling activity of the drilling system, determining, based on a comparison between the surface sensor data and a set of historical data, a set of drilling parameters associated with a drilling state, applying the set of drilling parameters to a physics model of the drilling site to determine a set of downhole parameters for the drilling site, wherein the physics model comprises a simulation of current conditions of the borehole and a drill string of the drilling rig, and adjusting operation of at least one of the drilling tools based on the set of downhole parameters.

Abstract: An electrical switch is disclosed including a rotatably mounted contact bridge which includes a movable contact, wherein the movable contact interacts with a stationary contact of the electrical switch for the purpose of closing or opening the electrical circuit as a result of rotation of the contact bridge. In at least one embodiment, the surfaces at the point at which contact is made between the movable contact and the stationary contact are at least partially covered by a protective material for protecting against soiling and/or damage due to contact-erosion materials, wherein the protective material is a paper-like fleece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a contact system (2) comprising a contact bridge (15) that can be pivoted about an articulated axis (16) and is provided with a moving contact (11b, 12b) on the respective opposing ends (13, 14) thereof, each moving contact forming a contact point (K1, K2) with a fixed contact (11a, 11b) associated therewith. The articulated axis (16) is arranged in such a way that it can be displaced in the opening direction (19) of the contact points (K1, K2) along a guide (17) such that only a first contact point (K1) opens during normal operation, while both contact points (K1, K2) open in the event of an overcurrent and/or short circuit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for switching at least one current includes a switching mechanism located in a switching chamber. The switching mechanism interrupts and connects a current path in an orderly fashion. Switching devices frequently have a protective function, e.g. relative to a power grid, and it is therefore desirable for supporting the protective function to identify faults and/or wear within the switching device. To this end, the switching device includes at least one temperature measuring unit that aids in detecting faults and wear within the switching device.
