  • Patent number: 10313778
    Abstract: A method for operating an electro-acoustic system (11) arranges an electro-acoustic device (10), for occluding an ear canal on an ear and uses a signal processing device (16) for processing a signal incoming at the device (10). A correction unit (17) of the signal processing device (16) modifies the signal incoming at the device (10). To reduce, to avoid or to compensate for an interfering or undesired change in a perception of ambient noises during the use of an electro-acoustic device occluding the ear canal, with the correction unit (17), a signal outgoing from the device (10) is generated in order to achieve acoustic transparency, in which, on the basis of the outgoing signal, a received signal is generated at the eardrum which is adapted so as to correspond to a free-ear received signal at the eardrum in the case of a free ear canal without the device (10).

  • Patent number: 7259537
    Abstract: A polarity-reversal protector for power sources, in particular for automobile batteries, which is connected between a power source and at least one consumer and/or at least one generator, is described. The polarity-reversal protector is to prevent the reverse polarity current from flowing through the connected systems, so that the systems may not be damaged in case of polarity reversal. For this purpose, the polarity-reversal protector includes means for recognizing whether the two poles of the power source are connected to the appropriate terminals of the consumer and/or generator, and means for decoupling the power source from the consumer and/or from the generator if the two poles of the power source have been transposed during connection to the consumer and/or generator.

  • Patent number: 7069653
    Abstract: A method of establishing an electric connection between electric terminals of a semiconductor component as part of an electric module and additional parts of the electric module by using a punched grid having internal terminal ends and external terminal ends that are electrically connected to the internal terminal ends by metal strip conductors, the semiconductor component and the punched grid are joined so that at least two electric terminals of the semiconductor component are positioned on corresponding internal terminal ends so that a slip-proof mounting of the semiconductor component on the two internal terminal ends is then possible, this mechanical mounting at the same time establishing an electric connection between the electric terminals of the semiconductor component and the internal terminal ends, whereby a metal strip grid, e.g.

  • Publication number: 20060143232
    Abstract: Suggested is a computer-implemented method for data management, in which method a service provided or to be provided by a service provider, such as the implementation of a customer order, is represented by electronic data on the basis of an information model, which defines a large number of different but related information objects (10, 12, 14, 16), by which the service can be represented. The method includes the generating of a large number of data records, which each represent one of the information objects. For at least some of the information objects, the data records each contain a time stamp, which represents the time of generation of the data record concerned. The method also includes the generating of several data records each representing a different version of the same information object, these data records differing from each other at least in their time stamp.

  • Patent number: 6320747
    Abstract: A method is described for producing electric modules, where a power module is attached to a fastening part with an adhesive, with the adhesive first being precured in an edge area, and in another step the power module is encased in a gel. In another step, the gel and the adhesive are fully cured together in one step. This method is cost- and time-optimized for producing a compact electric module with power modules that have a high power loss and are exposed to high mechanical stresses.
