Abstract: A connecting device for photovoltaic-capable insulating glass comprises at least one retaining device laterally attached to the photovoltaic-capable insulating glass. In its installed state, the retaining device is open on at least one side which faces the intermediate space so that at least one ribbon is insertable into a clamping device inserted in the retaining device, and wherein the ribbon establishes an electrical contact for a photovoltaic device accommodated in the at least one intermediate space, and wherein the clamping device is provided with an electrical supply line such that the clamping device establishes an electrical clamping contact between the at least one ribbon and the electrical supply line.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for forming insulation displacement connections with conductors in small wires includes a wire carrier and a base. Pierce points on the base are slid along opposed walls in a slot in the carrier to align small tips on the ends of the pierce points to form electrical connections with a conductor in a wire in the carrier. The connections are located inwardly of the slot walls.

Abstract: A module having terminals for actuators and sensors includes a lower portion having at least one recess configured to receive a shape-coded ribbon cable, and an upper housing portion configured to receive a circuit board and to be disposed on the lower portion via a fastening device. The module further including a guidance device configured to cooperate with the first and second longitudinal sides of the upper housing portion so that the upper housing portion is guidable into an initial fastening position. Further, at least one of the upper housing portion and the lower portion include a contact device having at least one contact pin configured to at least partially penetrate the shape-coded ribbon cable when the shape-coded ribbon cable is received in the at least one recess so as to contact with the plurality of conductors when the upper housing portion is fastened to the lower portion.

Abstract: An electrical supply or connecting terminal with a clamping spring and a metal part, the clamping spring having a clamping leg and a contact leg, and the metal part having a conductor bar piece. The clamping leg and the conductor bar piece form a spring force clamp connection for the electrical conductor. The contact leg of the clamping spring has a recess for insertion of the electrical conductor, and an end of the clamping leg extends through the recess. The clamping spring has a retaining section which runs essentially parallel to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor and parallel to the conductor bar piece and the conductor bar piece has been inserted though the recess in a direction opposite the insertion direction of the electrical conductor, the conductor bar piece being clamped securely between the end of the clamping leg and the retaining section.

Abstract: A magnetic storage medium is read by incident polarized light and reflected outgoing light defining a common plane. The polarized incident light preferably has a polarization vector at 40.degree. to 50.degree. to this plane and at the storage medium, the magnetization is in a direction perpendicular to the plane. The preamplified output signal V.sub.M from the photodiode transducing the outgoing light beam has a fixed value V.sub.O subtracted therefrom where V.sub.O is a function of the sensitivity and resolving power of the electronic circuitry. The signal V.sub.M -V.sub.O is then amplified and processed to represent the stored data.
