Abstract: An electrical switch element is disclosed. The electrical switch element includes a housing having a switch chamber, an opening to the switch chamber, electrical switch contacts arranged in the switch chamber, and at least one positive-locking counter-element extending at least partially around the opening. The electrical switch element also includes a cover having at least one positive-locking element engaging the at least one positive-locking counter-element, the cover extending over the opening.

Abstract: An electrical switch element is disclosed. The electrical switch element has a switch chamber having contacts and an opening, a propulsion element extending through the opening in the switch chamber and having an annular flange, and a seal having an annular protrusion surrounding the opening. The propulsion element is movable within the opening to open or close the contacts, and in an end position of the propulsion element, the annular flange abuts the annular protrusion.

Abstract: An electrical contact switch chamber is disclosed. The electrical contact switch chamber includes two contacts, a wall having a base and sides surrounding the two contacts, and at least one insulation slot having an opening extending transversely relative to a direction between the contacts. The at least one insulation slot is disposed along a portion of the wall between the two contacts.

Abstract: An electrical switch element is disclosed. The electrical switch element has a switch chamber having contacts and an opening, a propulsion element extending through the opening in the switch chamber and having an annular flange, and a seal configuration having an annular protrusion surrounding the opening. The propulsion element is movable within the opening to open or close the contacts, and in an end position of the propulsion element, the annular flange abuts the annular protrusion.

Abstract: A short-circuit shutdown switch is disclosed having a load current path and a cutting plunger. The load current path has a separating member with a first predetermined cutting zone, a second predetermined cutting zone, and a central section positioned between the first predetermined cutting zone and the second predetermined cutting zone. The cutting plunger is positioned to cut the first predetermined cutting zone and the second predetermined cutting zone.

Abstract: An electrical circuit element is disclosed. The electrical circuit element has an interrupter having contacts and an opening, a propulsion element extending through the opening in the interrupter and having an annular flange, and a seal configuration having an annular ring surrounding the opening. The propulsion element is movable within the opening to open or close the contacts, and in an end position of the propulsion element, the annular flange abuts the annular ring.

Abstract: A lubricant pump system may include a lubricant pump controlled by a proportional valve. An actuating unit may be disposed in the lubricant pump and configured to control a delivery output of the lubricant pump. A first pressure chamber and at least one second pressure chamber may be configured to adjust the actuating unit against a spring, wherein the second pressure chamber is smaller than the first pressure chamber. In response to a failure of the proportional valve, the lubricant pump may be exclusively pressurized via the at least one second pressure chamber.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates initiating a communication session with a computing device. The system operates by first detecting the presence of the computing device through a first communication channel, and then initiating a communication session between the computing device and a server through the second communication channel. Next, the system transfers the state of an existing communication session between the server and a client to the computing device through the second communication channel, so that the computing device can take over the existing communication session with the server in place of the client.

Abstract: A coupler for joining a polymeric elongate substrate to another substrate, comprising:(1) a tubular element containing an aperture; and(2) a penetrating member which is secured to the tubular element and which can move from a rest position to a working position wherein, in the working position, a portion of the penetrating member passes through the aperture and penetrates the surface of the elongate substrate.

Abstract: A duct seal (1) especially for sealing about four cables, contains a spring (8) which when operated radially expands that part of the duct seal that is to seal to a wall etc (2). The cables are sealed by heat-shrink outlets (7) of the duct seal (1). The spring (8) is operated after heating the part of the duct seal in which it lies. Heating may soften the material of the seal and activate an adhesive (9).
