  • Patent number: 9843180
    Abstract: An end closure for a cable having a core, at least two electrical cable wires and at least one optical transmission element, the core is surrounded by a metal wire reinforcement. On the end of the electrical cable wires an electrically suitable connection set is mounted, which at least partially protrudes out of a pipe. A connection unit is mounted on the end of the optical transmission element, which also partially protrudes from the pipe. The connection unit has a pot shaped tension element mounted tension proof on the free end of the pipe and surrounds, moisture tight and pressure tight, the part of the connection set and the connection unit that protrudes out of the pipe.

  • Publication number: 20160380421
    Abstract: An end closure for a cable is indicated, that in a core has at least two electrical cable wires for the transmission of electrical energy and having at least one optical transmission element and its core is surrounded by a reinforcement composed of metal wires. The metal wires of the reinforcement on the end of the cables are distanced a predetermined length and the end of the core of the cable is surrounded by a tension proof pipe that is connected tension proof with the remaining reinforcement. On the end of the electrical cable wires, to directly connect electrical couplings, the electrically suitable connection set is mounted, which at least partially protrudes out of the pipe.

  • Publication number: 20150370981
    Abstract: In certain implementations, personalized opportunities may be provided to health plan customers. Personal health information associated with a user covered by a health plan may be obtained. Coverage information associated with the health plan may be obtained. A first set recommendations related to opportunities available to the user may be determined based on the personal health information and the coverage information. The first set of recommendations may be provided for presentation to the user. One or more actions of the user with regard to one or more opportunities related to the first set of recommendations may be monitored. A second set of recommendations related to opportunities available to the user may be determined based the personal health information, the coverage information, and the monitoring of the one or more actions of the user. The second set of recommendations may be provided for presentation to the user.

  • Patent number: 6079875
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) for measuring the temperature of an object (3) has a temperature sensor (5) with at least one optical fiber (7) and a temperature measurement system (10), wherein the optical fiber (7) of the temperature sensor (5) is supported by a support element (15, 17, 18). With this apparatus, the temperature even of smaller object (3) can be measured easily and accurately. A method for producing the sensor includes placing at least one optical fiber on an adhesive side of a first foil and then placing a second foil on the adhesive side of the first foil.
