Abstract: In a system and a method for the automated design of an automation unit, multiple electronically controllable components are interconnected in a work dependency. The system includes a central web server having a database, an interface for importing technical application data for the automation unit, a processor, which applies technical application data and provided functionality data sets of the components according to interconnection rules to generate a circuit diagram for the components. The system can also include a converting unit, which converts the generated circuit diagram into control commands for the design of the automation unit.

Abstract: Magnetometers under the road surface detect variations in the vertical and longitudinal horizontal components of the magnetic field over time in response to passing vehicles. A trajectory of these components in the phase space of these field components is regularized to obtain a magnetic signature. Magnetic signatures are compared using cross-correlation over arc length to identify vehicles. Inductance sensors can be used to detect vehicles and help determine the beginning and end of magnetic signatures.

Abstract: A lock with an electromechanical coupling device, which only consumes little electrical power, comprises an operating handle which constantly is in operative connection with a drive member of an electromechanical coupling device and upon recognition of an authentication code makes an operative connection with a driven member, which in turn is in constant operative connection with the operating mechanism of the lock. The drive member and the driven member of the coupling device are each spring-loaded into a rest position and can be coupled via a locking mechanism, which by means of an electromechanical transducer can be switched between a disengaged position and an engaged position.

Abstract: An additive atomizing device and further means and a method for the atomization of a liquid additive in a gaseous pressure medium, more particularly compressed air, flowing through a pressure medium flow duct (10). The additive is conveyed from one inlet (26) of an additive passage duct (24) for supplying the additive from an additive supply means (27 and 28) to an outlet (25) opening into the pressure medium flow duct (10). A detecting means (17 and 18) detects at least one physical characteristic in the pressure medium flow duct (10) and signalizes same by way of a signalizing means (19 and 20) to a control means (21). The control means (21) controls a pressure producing device (43 and 47) in a manner dependent on the at least one physical characteristic found by the detecting means (17 and 18) by way of a control connection (23.
