  • Patent number: 12163994
    Abstract: An electricity meter includes at least one input terminal, at least one voltage sensor, and at least one current sensor, and a processor unit arranged to acquire the voltage measurements and the current measurements, and to detect a first period during which the source current is less than a first predefined current threshold, and a second period during which the source current is greater than a second predefined current threshold, to acquire a first voltage measurement during the first period and a second voltage measurement during the second period, and to detect faulty clamping between at least one wire and the input terminal when at least one detection value representative of a difference between a first voltage measurement and a second voltage measurement is greater than or equal to a voltage threshold.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11661022
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a body of the vehicle and a sensing system coupled to the body. The sensing system includes optical componentry and a glass material, where the glass material at least in part houses the optical componentry and the glass material is at least partially transparent to light at the wavelength of the optical componentry. Further the glass material has mechanical and performance properties that allow the sensing system to be positioned particularly low on the vehicle, at a position that may be of higher risk for damage from debris.

  • Patent number: 9635110
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forwarding information by means of a transmitting and receiving device in a first vehicle, having the following steps of: determining a stop state of the first vehicle, determining a position of the first vehicle, receiving information from a first transmitter in a vehicle and/or an infrastructure unit, forwarding the information from the first transmitter to a receiver in a second vehicle by means of the transmitting and receiving device if the position of the first vehicle is within a predefined area. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 5334360
    Abstract: The tetraphosphorus polysulfides of the formula P.sub.4 S.sub.x, wherein X is at least 3, especially tetraphosphorus decasulfide, P.sub.4 S.sub.10, are prepared by (a) establishing a continuously circulating closed loop of a liquid reaction mixture which comprises desired final product tetraphosphorus polysulfide, (b) continuously introducing liquid phosphorus and liquid sulfur into such continuously circulating reaction mixture and therein continuously reacting the liquid phosphorus with the liquid sulfur, and (c) continuously separating desired final product tetraphosphorus polysulfide, in gaseous state, from such continuously circulating reaction mixture.
