  • Patent number: 12021356
    Abstract: A method ascertains the risk of condensation in an enclosure of a high-voltage device. The interior temperature in the enclosure is ascertained using an interior temperature sensor arranged in the enclosure, thereby obtaining interior temperature values TI. An exterior temperature of the enclosure is ascertained using an exterior temperature sensor arranged outside of the enclosure, thereby obtaining exterior temperature values TA. The interior temperature values TI and the exterior temperature TA values are transmitted to a data processing unit. The data processing unit ascertains a temperature difference value TD by calculating the difference between the interior temperature value TI and the exterior temperature values TA based on TD=TI?TA. The data processing unit generates a warning signal if the temperature difference value TD lies below 3° C.

  • Patent number: 11442085
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an operating state of an energy supply network connects a data processing cloud to selected communication units at a query time over long-range communication connections. Selected communication units transmit measured values and/or values derived therefrom to the data processing cloud over a long-range connection. To receive measured values and/or values derived therefrom, each communication unit is connected, over a short-range communication connection, to at least one sensor on or in a high-voltage device of the network for capturing measured values. The data processing cloud determines the network operating state within an analysis based on measured values and/or values derived therefrom. To provide a simple and cost-effective analysis of the entire network operating state, the data processing cloud during analysis uses measured values and/or values derived therefrom from at least two selected communication units at different locations.

  • Patent number: 6453407
    Abstract: A method for executing instructions in a data processor and improvements to data processor design, which combine the advantages of regular processor architecture and Very Long Instruction Word architecture to increase execution speed and ease of programming, while reducing power consumption. Instructions each consisting of a number of operations to be performed in parallel are defined by the programmer, and their corresponding execution unit controls are generated at compile time and loaded prior to program execution into a dedicated array in processor memory. Subsequently, the programmer invokes reference instructions to call these defined instructions, and passes parameters from regular instructions in program memory. As the regular instructions propogate down the processor's pipeline, they are replaced by the appropriate controls fetched from the dedicated array in processor memory, which then go directly to the execution unit for execution.
