State of the art

The present invention relates to a method and an associated device for transmitting consumption data from a measuring device, in particular an energy, water, gas or heat meter, to a remote receiving device via a radio channel.

The present technical solution proposed concerns an adaptor device that allows missiles to be fired from a launcher that was not developed for that missile.

This invention describes animpact detonator with improved reliability and reduced dud rate compared to prior art detonators.

The present proposed technical solution relates to a device for illuminating an object scene by means of a laser beam comprising a laser module with one or more laser chips arranged on a substrate.

This invention describes a simple implementation of haptic feedback by using a few additional actuators known as ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) or LRA (Linear Resonant Actuators).

The invention is based on acoustic signals that can be generated by electronics when powered. The sounds are generated by components which are required for normal operation but not intended for sound generation.

In LED lighting devices (LED, Light Emitting Diode) that are operated on an alternating current supply network (AC power supply network) or are terminated, glow phenomena sometimes occur - especially with a sinusoidal voltage supply - in the off state, i.e. when the lighting devices are switched off and should therefore actually be dark.

A rotary knob utilizing capacitive sensing to detect the movement of an indexed ring is suggested. Consumers are interested in a knob with an integrated user interface.

This idea suggests an optical transfer system. The optical transfer system transmits an image of a display located behind electronics of a front panel to the surface of a knob located on the front panel.

A device is proposed by means of which the slope of a washing machine drum can be adjusted.

A connector which is not placed correctly on a contact heats up and may catch fire. This risk is particularly high when high currents flow as is the case, for example, in electric-motor electronics.

The present proposed technical solution concerns a sensor network comprising a plurality of self-crosslinking sensors for monitoring-relevant parameters that can be deployed in a terrain.

This invention solves the problem of putting an appliance into demo mode, without the risk that the customer enables this mode by accident. Further it transfers and updates demo mode data to the appliance.

The proposed technical solution deals with a device and a method for defusing unexploded ordnance. Newly developed fuse concepts are usually tested within the framework of firing tests.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Geräte und Vorrichtungen, die unter einer Vielzahl von Umgebungsbedingungen, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Temperatur, installiert sind und ordnungsgemäß funktionieren müssen.

Bestimmte wasserführende Geräte sind nicht frostsicher. Wenn sie einfrieren, platzen sie. Dies gilt insbesondere für Wasserzähler. Die Erfindung ermöglicht es, das Risiko des Einfrierens zu berechnen und eventuell ein Alarmsignal zu senden.

Method for precalculating the expected reception window of a bidirectional meter on the data concentrator.

The idea is based on a clear assignment of an operating step for a household appliance to a particular user.

The system determines which voice controlled device should respond to a user. This is determined by proximity of the user to the device.

The idea is to suggest a system which displays the status of a household appliance, e.g. an oven, a washer, a dryer, a dishwasher, a hob or so on. This offers the possibility to get an information about the appliance status through the lighting system.

The present proposed technical solution relates to a method for producing a protective layer on a surface of an optical component in order to protect it from degradation or damage due to environmental influences.

The proposed technical solution describes a temperature-resistant fuze for projectiles with a particularly long range and high velocity. According to the proposed solution, the temperature resistance, which is particularly important in the case of high velocities, is achieved by a targeted selection of materials and an advantageous design of individual areas of the fuze.

The technical solution approach comprises an additional gasket between a touch foil and a ceramic glass. This additional component is placed in such a way that no air gaps occur during the assembly, so that no moisture can reach the sensible touch sensor area.

The present invention relates to a safety-critical system comprising at least two physically separate, interconnected units, with at least one additional security mechanism for protection against unlawful access and against manipulation by unauthorised third parties.

This proposed technical solution is a method or algorithm for predicting the service life of accumulators.
