Abstract: The present invention comprises a fish guidance rack (2) for use in a fish guidance system in a watercourse (W) at a run-of-river hydropower plant or a water intake. The rack comprises a series of vertical bars (1) mounted on a rack frame (7) along a longitudinal axis (L) of the rack between a first end (5) of the rack and a second end (6) of the rack. The rack comprises bars with a hydrodynamic curved form, and a generally increasing inter-bar spacing (sb) in the downstream direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting a voltage drop between an anode connection and a cathode connection, comprising: a control capacitor, of which the first electrode is connected to the anode connection and the second electrode is connected to the cathode connection; a measuring device, which is designed to output a discharge signal depending on a potential difference detected between the anode connection and the cathode connection and a first threshold value for the potential difference on a discharge control line; a discharge circuit which is connected to the discharge control line and is designed to discharge the control capacitor depending on the discharge signal; and a control device, which is designed to detect the voltage drop by evaluating the state of charge of the control capacitor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a restart protection device (1) for a battery-powered electric hand tool (2), comprising—a control capacitor (CCTRL) having a cathode and an anode, wherein the cathode can be connected to an earth connection (10) of the electric hand tool (2) and the anode can be connected via a battery pack interface (4) of the electric hand tool (2) to a connector wire (6) of a battery pack (3) of the electric hand tool (2); —a controllable discharge circuit (14) designed for discharging the control capacitor (CCTRL), wherein a control input of the discharge circuit (14) can be connected via the battery pack interface (4) to a signal line (9) of the battery pack (3); —a measuring device (15) designed to determine a charge state of the control capacitor (CCTRL); and—a control device (13) connected to the measuring device (15), which control device is configured to inhibit start-up of the electric hand tool (2) if the charge state of the control capacitor (CCTRL) determined by means of the measuring d

Abstract: A method for checking the buildability of a virtual prototype includes an automatic ascertainment of possible problem points that may arise in the course of assembling the virtual prototype from virtual components and do not satisfy predetermined structural, physical and/or aesthetic requirements. The method includes an assessment, assisted by a computer system, of at least one of the possible problem points as a critical or uncritical problem point, depending on several structural, physical and/or aesthetic features of the respective possible problem point. Furthermore, an apparatus is proposed for checking the buildability of a virtual prototype. With methods and apparatuses according to exemplary embodiments, the effort in terms labour and time and also faulty assessments are capable of being reduced by an automatic assessment of problem points and by a more efficient assessment of problem points.
