  • Patent number: 10319122
    Abstract: A display unit and an installation are disclosed for distributing electrical energy. In an embodiment, a display unit includes a plurality of switches. The display unit is connected via a communication link to the switches and is configured to receive data relating to the operation of the switches. Each switch of the installation comprises two mechanically disconnectable switching elements, a sensor unit to detect the current flowing over the switching elements, an electronic trip unit to initiate the disconnection of the switching elements if a trip condition allocated to the switch is fulfilled, and a mechanical switching unit to disconnect the switching elements if the trip condition is fulfilled.

  • Publication number: 20140068571
    Abstract: A facility is disclosed including a firmware, which calculates at least one electrical variable, having measuring inputs at which analog electrical signals are present, having a hardware controlled by the firmware, and having data with a number of interfaces, which allow for data to be input and output and for communication. It is proposed in an embodiment that the hardware be used as a platform for an application which extends the facility by a functionality and is created as application software, which an interpreter converts into a machine-readable code prior to loading such that a mechanism transmits the code to the facility, such that transmitted application runs in a predetermined environment, which the application cannot leave, and that the application can access data, the inputs and outputs and the communication by way of a programming interface which are permitted by the programming interface to a limited degree.

  • Patent number: 8024143
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining a mains frequency from a voltage signal which has a particularly high proportion of harmonics includes stipulating a sample frequency for a sample collection, polling a voltage signal at equidistant times during periods of the sample oscillation. A discrete Fourier transform may be used to calculate two phases, and a phase interval between these two phases is used to infer the mains frequency.

  • Publication number: 20080180887
    Abstract: An attachment is disclosed for an electrical appliance to a holding plate, for example to a switch panel, as well as to an adapter for such an attachment, which for this purpose has an aperture opening into which the appliance, which has a front panel, can be inserted. In at least one embodiment, in order to allow attachment of one and the same appliance with the aperture openings having mutually exclusive cross-sectional shapes, it is proposed that an adapter is provided, formed from two parts that can be connected to one another, and arranged between the front panel and the appliance. In at least one embodiment, the front part is fitted with the front panel on one side and is attached to the holding plate on the other side, with this part having at least one connecting element, which is accessible via the aperture opening.

  • Publication number: 20070245297
    Abstract: A method and system for modeling business transformation. The method comprises constructing a first analysis model based on at least one legacy-business-process-model. Analyzing the first analysis model in conjunction with at least one business-process-reference-model. The method further comprises deriving a second analysis model in response to analyzing the first analysis model in conjunction with the at least one business-process-reference-model and refining the second analysis model to obtain a design model.

  • Publication number: 20070018986
    Abstract: A data processing method including receiving a model of a directed graph, the model defining one or more nodes and edges of the directed graph, each node having a corresponding behavior defining the execution of the node, and each edge having corresponding data defining a directional link from one node to another node and having a corresponding condition defining when the edge is to be traversed; executing, according to a predefined priority, a series of transformation rules, the transformation rules comprising a first rule for the elimination of an edge that links a node to itself, and a second rule for the elimination of an edge that links a node to another node, each rule including an update operation defining a new behavior for the or each node affected by the elimination of the edge; and creating an output according to the performance of the transformation rules.

  • Publication number: 20050210455
    Abstract: A method for generating an executable workflow code from an unstructured cyclic process model. The method comprises the following steps. First a continuation equation system is generated from the unstructured cyclic process model. Then, the executable workflow code is generated from the continuation equation system, wherein therefore, the continuation equation system is solved by means of transformation rules.

  • Publication number: 20050091093
    Abstract: A system and method for creating and managing a business process integration solution comprises modeling a business strategy including elements representing business measurements and initiatives according to defined business goals and objectives of an entity; modeling business operations of the entity in terms of business process elements including process tasks, artifact flows and artifact repositories, and business commitment elements including incorporating key performance indicators; mapping elements of the strategy model with artifact and process elements of the operations model; and, measuring business performance and comparing performance measurements against the key performance indicators. The business strategy and operation model process elements may be continuously refined over a solution development lifecycle as a result of process measurements and comparing. A business level modeling language is further implemented for formally representing the business operations.

  • Patent number: 4737044
    Abstract: A code generated by a keyboard or external data source is first converted to an ordinal number code which is processed by first and second algorithms to generate a typing force index and a character type location identifier respectively. The typing force index is used as a variable in an equation whose solution provides typing force information, and the character location identifier is used to calculate character type location information. The information is utilized to position a selected character on a print wheel and to print the selected character with a force depending on the area of the character.
