Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a device for heating a medium and air. A heating source generates thermal energy by the combustion of a fuel-air-mixture. A heat exchanger serves to heat air passed along an exterior side, has an interior space into which flue gas generated during combustion of the fuel-air-mixture flows, has a fin structure on the exterior side, and transmits thermal energy to the medium pipe. The electric heating element generates thermal energy, the heat exchanger having integral structures for accommodating the electric heating element and the medium pipe. The medium pipe and the electric heating element are guided around the interior space of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A contact measurement system for measuring a parameter of a contact of a switchgear includes: a first device for measuring an electrical resistance of the contact and mapping the electrical resistance spatially and/or dynamically; a second device for measuring an axial force of the contact and to map the axial force spatially and/or dynamically as a measured axial force; and a third device for measuring a position of the contact. The contact measurement system determines a position-depending force characteristic based on the measured axial force of the contact and the position of the contact. The contact measurement system determines a status of the contact based on a combination of the position-depending force characteristic with the electrical resistance of the contact.

Abstract: A particular implementation for controlling single program transport streams during remultiplexing to a multiple program transport stream uses a series of leaky bucket buffers to minimize timing artifacts in the multi-program transport stream. Another implementation for controlling the remultiplexing process limits the number of consecutive packets to be transferred from each single program transport stream, or controls the multiplex frequency of each single program transport stream within the multi-program transport stream. An alternative implementation controls the remultiplexing process using multiple program clock reference values such that packets from each single program transport stream are released only after a previous program clock reference value is greater than the system time.
