Publication number: 20220336175Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a relay module including a control input for combined control and power supply of the relay module with alternating voltage. A fixed voltage controller of the relay module generates a fixed voltage after rectification of the alternating voltage or a portion of the alternating voltage. A comparator is operated by the fixed voltage and derives a reference voltage from the fixed voltage. The comparator compares a rectified and smoothed portion of the alternating voltage with the reference voltage. A switching step of the relay module operates a relay unit according to the comparison of the comparator, which relay unit is connected on the input side to the switching step and on the output side to switch connections of the relay module.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9324532Abstract: Circuitry for fuse failure display for monitoring the trip status of a fuse is disclosed, wherein a light-emitting diode is provided in order to display the trip status of the fuse, which light-emitting diode is arranged in a current path parallel to the fuse. If the fuse is not tripped, the parallel current path has a high resistance in relation to the resistance across the fuse, such that the current across this current path is insufficient for operation of the light-emitting diode. If the fuse is tripped, this parallel current path has a low resistance in relation to the resistance across the fuse, such that the current across this current path is sufficient for operation of the light-emitting diode, wherein a current-limiting device for limiting the current across the light-emitting diode and a voltage-limiting device for limiting the voltage across the tripped fuse are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2013Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20080082353Abstract: A system and method for using identification codes found on ordinary articles of commerce to access remote computers on a network. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a computer is provided having a database that relates Uniform Product Code (“UPC”) numbers to Internet network addresses (or “URLs”). To access an Internet resource relating to a particular product, a user enters the product's UPC symbol manually, by swiping a bar code reader over the UPC symbol, or via other suitable input means. The database retrieves the URL corresponding to the UPC code. This location information is then used to access the desired resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicant: NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Frank Hudetz, Peter Hudetz

Publication number: 20050099657Abstract: A system and method for producing personalized imaged material includes selectively gathering stock sheets and assembling the stock sheets into designated sets of sheets. The stock sheets in each designated set of sheets are sequentially processed to image personalized information onto each stock sheet. The personalized sheets are re-gathered into the designated sets of sheets and presented for final processing. Processing is carried out by collators, re-feeders, variable data imaging systems, and finishing systems. Operational control is provided by a control system that includes a data structure containing user information and recipient profile information. An operations controller executes job requests for a particular user and accesses recipient profiles to image personalized information onto the stock sheets. The system and method are useful for direct marketing, invoicing, document preparation, preparation of personalized books, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2003Publication date: May 12, 2005Inventor: Peter Hudetz
