Abstract: The invention relates to an electric plug, in particular a charging plug for a motor vehicle, comprising a housing and a handle for holding the electric plug, wherein the housing comprises a plug-in section, a cable connection opening and a cable conduit, the plug-in section comprises a plurality of electric contacts for plugging into a socket with contacts. A cable can be routed in the cable conduit from the cable connection opening to the plug-in section and can be electrically contacted there to the electric contacts. The cable connection opening may be arranged in a region between the plug-in section and the end of the gripping section which is remote from the plug-in section. In this way, the electric plug that is provided is such that heating of the handle can be avoided and the electric plug can also be used well and ergonomically by smaller individuals.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a plug-connector for insertion of a multi-wire cable, wherein the wires are attached with the clamping-cutting technique. The plug-in connector exhibits a substrate and a plurality of clamping-cutting devices configured on the substrate and suitable for the insertion of wires. A first subset of the plurality of clamping-cutting devices is located on top of the substrate, while a second subset of the plurality of clamping-cutting devices is located at the bottom of the substrate. The plug-in connector furthermore exhibits wiring flaps suitable for the hinged insertion of the wires into the clamping-cutting devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a contact field for a plug-in connection for a twisted-pair cabling. The contact field is equipped with several metallic contacts for a connection with a twisted-pair socket, with each metallic contact having a feed line section for a connection with a circuit board. The metallic contacts are formed from contact plates, with at least two of the feed line sections being arranged offset relative to other feed line sections.

Abstract: The invention refers to a method for monitoring a communication media access schedule of a communication controller (5) of a communication system (1) by means of a bus guardian (6). The communication system (1) comprises a communication media (2) and nodes (3) connected to the communication media (2). Each node (3) comprises a communication controller (5) and a bus guardian (6) assigned to the communication controller (5). Messages are transmitted among the nodes (3) across the communication media (2) based on a cyclic time triggered communication media access scheme.

Abstract: The invention concerns a network comprising an interconnecting network and several network nodes that are coupled to said interconnecting network and are designed to adapt their local communication time schedule to the communication time schedule of at least one other network mode, prior to being integrated as active network nodes. A network node to be integrated checks the activity of other network nodes and if no activity is identified, sends out positional messages for other network nodes, said message being fixed by predetermination in its communication time schedule. If a network node cannot be integrated as a reference node, it can only be integrated as an active node if it adapts its local communication time schedule to that of the reference node after receiving positional messages and if a check as to whether its own communication time schedule agrees with the communication time schedules of at least some of the active network nodes proves positive.

Abstract: A method and a bit stream decoding unit for bit stream decoding has a bit stream comprising a number of consecutive samples. In order to provide for rapid and, in particular, reliable decoding of the bit stream, a detection window comprising a number of samples is defined and the detection window is positioned at certain positions on the bit stream in order to comprise certain samples with respective sample values. A majority voting is applied to the sample values in the detection window and, in dependence on the result of the majority voting, the bit stream is decoded and respective bit values are generated.

Abstract: The invention refers to one of a number of nodes of a communication system. The nodes are connected to a communication media for transmitting data among the nodes. Said one node comprises a communication controller, across which the node is connected to the communication media, and a bus guardian for controlling access of the communication controller to the communication media. In order to provide a cheap but nevertheless reliable way for monitoring the synchronized clock signal of a node of a communication system and in particular for detecting deviations of the synchronized clock signal it is suggested that a synchronized clock signal from the communication controller is made available to the bus guardian, and that the bus guardian comprises means for monitoring the synchronized clock signal using a bus guardian internal clock signal, which is generated by means of an electronic circuit and which is less accurate than the synchronized clock signal to be monitored.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for taking a sample from a system. A user (1) enters an analysis request to a computer system (4), whereupon a connection is established between the computer system and a databank. As a result of the analysis request an information catalogue is generated from the databank, from which the at least one sample holder (13) to be used is suggested or provisionally selected for the user (1) by means of a input and/or output device (5). The invention further relates to a method for production of a request data set for a sample for analysis. An information catalogue, corresponding to an entered analysis request is proposed to the user (1), the data of which from the information catalogue for the entered analysis request may be optionally added to or edited by the user (1).

Abstract: Method for transmitting data within a communication system, the communication system comprising a communication media and a number of nodes connected to the communication media, the data being transmitted across the communication media within a communication cycle comprising a number of time slots assigned to one or more nodes of the communication system. In order to provide a possibility for a data transmission within communication cycles, which can satisfy the demands in communication systems for safety critical applications, too, it is suggested, that the communication cycle is initiated by an external event. The external event can be caused by manually setting a bit by a host, by a configurable timer in a controller host interface (CHI) or by an external trigger.
