  • Patent number: 7372808
    Abstract: In a method and a device for redundant transmission of protection commands between remote tripping devices (1, 8), useful information which represents a protection command or a rest signal is transmitted by a first remote tripping device (1) in at least two time slots via a first interface (2) to a first multiplexer (3), and is transmitted via different transmission paths (4, 5) by the multiplexer (3) based on the time slots. A second multiplexer (6) receives the useful information via the different transmission paths (4, 5), and transmits each useful information item via a time slot, which is allocated to the respective transmission path (4, 5), in a second interface (7) to a second remote tripping device (8).

  • Patent number: 7272407
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for a wireless mobile device where data is received over a wireless data connection indicative of presence of compatible components and a selection of the compatible components are displayed. Data is continued to be received further identifying the compatible components. The displayed selection of compatible components is changed in accordance with a convention and based on the continued receipt of data where the method is performed automatically by a wireless mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20060146919
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the transmission of protection commands to a remote tripping device over an analog signal link with a limited number of tones or frequencies (F1, F2, F3, F4). Different operating principles involve a number of frequency detectors (41, 42, 43, 44) depending on the number of commands (A, B, C, D) that are to be transmitted either alone or in combination. In order to transmit a maximum number of protection commands with a minimum number of tones/detectors, two of the abovementioned distinct operating principles are assigned at least one common tone. A prioritizing mechanism is established for preferring certain related protection commands belonging to a common application. Upon reception of a signal coding a combination of protection commands, it is possible to detect individual protection commands in accordance with different minimum safety and/or security values. A protection command can thus always be transmitted optimally for the intended application, i.e.

  • Patent number: 6075535
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for visually presenting the access frequency of a two dimensional image. The method includes the steps of: determining which defined regions of the image are accessed; determining the frequency that the plurality of defined regions is accessed; creating a graphical representation corresponding to the plurality of defined regions for the image, wherein the x axis of the graphical representation corresponds to the x axis of the image and the y axis of the graphical representation corresponds to the y axis of the image; and combining the graphical representation with an access frequency indicator to create an access frequency output that corresponds to the plurality of defined regions. From the access frequency output, the user can see the access patterns of the image and can easily visualize how frequently small portions of the image are accessed.
