  • Patent number: 9445236
    Abstract: A mobile device has a location sensor and a data sensor for collecting data that relates to technical equipment. An area component determines that the mobile device is located in an event area with the potential of occurrence of events in categories. A detection component processes data from the data sensor that is indicative of events. The detection component is active if the mobile device is located in the event area. A recorder component records data from the data sensor in combination with the geographic location of the mobile device. The recorder component is active if a particular event that falls into at least one of the categories has been detected.

  • Patent number: 8970600
    Abstract: A method for visualizing on a display unit of an operator terminal a transmission flow in a system. The method includes: retrieving a starting point and an end point of the transmission flow; generating a picture wherein a geometrical line from the starting point to the end point graphically represents the transmission flow and wherein a direction of the transmission flow is graphically represented by a continuously increased opacity of the geometrical line between the starting point and the end point of the transmission flow; and outputting the picture on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 8560949
    Abstract: A method in a power transmission or distribution system, an operator terminal in such a system as well as to a computer program product from such an operator terminal, wherein the operator terminal presents graphical objects representing electrical power transmission control stations together with graphical objects representing power lines on a display, and changes the degree of abstraction of the presentation based on an operator selection or an own selection. A change from a lower to a higher degree involves moving a group of graphical objects including control stations closer to a condensation center point on a power line that is common for this group, and a change from a higher to a lower condensation degree involves moving the group away from the condensation center point.
