  • Patent number: 8882074
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adapter for fastening a support profile, comprising a profile receptacle having a supporting section, and a fastening side which at least in some areas is spaced from the supporting section, wherein a cable maneuvering compartment is formed between the supporting section and the fastening side and is spatially connected to a feedthrough of the supporting section and at least one cable feedthrough. Using said design, cables coming from a wide variety of directions can be fed to the adapter in a simple and organized manner.

  • Publication number: 20140301766
    Abstract: A connection console mounts a device case on a support arm system, and includes a case mounting (1) having a mounting side (2) through which the case mounting (1) can be fixed on a case in two positions which are offset by 180°. The mounting side (2) has a plurality of key hole openings (3), at least two of them being positioned offset from one another by 180°, a central part (4) which can be fixed on the case mounting (1) and which defines a usable cable space (5), and a cover element (6) which closes, as needed, a mounting and inspection opening (7) of the central part (4) through which the usable cable space (5) can be accessed.

  • Patent number: 7537188
    Abstract: An adjusting device for fastening an operating and/or display device on a wall, having a linear guide arrangement formed by a sliding element and a fastening element, wherein the sliding element has an attachment point for the operating and/or display device. A secure support of the operating/display element results if the fastening element or the sliding element has a pivotable seating arrangement or hinge, with a pivot axis oriented parallel with respect to the displacement direction of the linear guide arrangement. The fastening element can be supported on the wall on two supporting points, which are spaced apart in the displacement direction of the linear guide arrangement.

  • Patent number: 6834359
    Abstract: A method for verifying the correctness of the functional behavior of a processor cooperating with software is provided. Furthermore, the method allows verification of a CPU having at least a part of its instruction set implemented with microcode. First, the microcode is independently tested by using a functional emulator performing in the same way as the processor hardware according to the processor's functional specification. Then, the microcode is tested by using a hardware emulator behaving in the same way as the processor hardware according to the design of the processor's logic gates. Finally, the microcode is tested against the actual processor hardware. This method allows the functionality of a newly designed CPU to be checked in a simulation, even before actual system integration. Advantageously, many problems in this area, relating to the interaction of the microcode and the processor hardware can be found before the actual processor hardware is manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20020156608
    Abstract: The present invention relates to hardware design and simulation thereof. In particular, it relates to a method and system for verifying hardware designs. It is basically proposed to provide a plurality of instruments, i.e., a kind of testcase language, which is able to simplify the hardware verification work. Each of the language elements contributes specifically to the general aim of the present invention, i.e., to improve the management of test cases and their execution. For example, a construct language element is provided which is able to be filled up with technical information about one or more hardware logic functions, and which checks their functionality by its own, returning an error value. Thus, the advantage results that due to the systematic management of testcases an efficient testcase generation and execution can be performed.
