  • Publication number: 20260106386
    Abstract: A shunt assembly includes a first coupler and a second coupler offset from each other in a longitudinal direction, and a conductor that is flexible as compared to the first coupler and the second coupler. The conductor includes a first end portion fixed with the first coupler, and includes a second end portion fixed with the second coupler. The first end portion or the second end portion forms a proximal arcuate segment and a distal arcuate segment, the proximal arcuate segment opens in a first direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and the distal arcuate segment opens in a second direction opposite the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10122206
    Abstract: The invention relates to an operating device (10) for at least one light-emitting diode (9) having an input (11) for coupling to a DC bus (6) in order to receive a DC supply voltage. The operating device (10) has a configurable emergency light function. The operating device (10) is designed to produce, in the emergency light case, the LED currently for the at least one light-emitting diode (9) in dependence on how the emergency light function is configured.

  • Publication number: 20150334793
    Abstract: The invention relates to an operating unit in which dimming information can be fed to a secondary side in respect of a galvanic isolator (4), wherein the operating unit (1) is improved in terms of cost. In particular, the dimming information is fed only to a first module (2) (a master module) either from outside by means of a sensor or from a primary side via the galvanic isolator (4) by means of a wireless channel (52). The first module (2) is further designed to relay the dimming information to at least one second module (3) (at least one slave module). The relaying of the dimming information can be effected either by a local bus (6), a wireless connection (9), a supply line, or via lines on a lamp module (12).
