Abstract: A device for correcting a time parameter in a first node in accordance with a second node is provided. The device includes a clock pulse generator unit configured to provide periodic clock pulses in the first node. The device further includes a peripheral unit configured to decode symbols of an asynchronously transmitted telegram from the second node and to measure a number of clock pulses during the transmission of a symbol sequence of consecutive symbols of the telegram. The device also includes a correction unit configured to correct the time parameter as a function of a ratio of the measured number of clock pulses and the number of consecutive symbols in the symbol sequence.

Abstract: An electrical circuit breaker system including an input terminal connecting an electrical current source and a plurality of output terminals for connecting electrical loads. Each output terminal includes an electrical switch and a current measuring unit. The circuit breaker system includes a current acquiring unit for acquiring current magnitudes measured at the output terminals and for determining a total current magnitude. A temperature acquiring unit acquires a temperature, and a computing unit is configured to determine a total current limit as a function of the acquired temperature. Further, a control unit is configured to select one of the plurality of output terminals based on a ranking of the output terminals and to interrupt the current supply at the selected output terminal by means of the corresponding electrical switch when the total current magnitude exceeds the determined total current limit.
