OPTOELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN OPTOELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY
According to the present disclosure, an optoelectronic assembly is disclosed with at least one optoelectronic component, and a sensor circuit. The sensor circuit includes at least one energy supply circuit and an ascertainment circuit having at least one energy storage unit and a detection unit. The ascertainment circuit and the at least one optoelectronic component are electrically connected to one another in parallel. The at least one energy supply circuit is configured to supply electrical energy to the at least one optoelectronic component and the energy storage unit. The energy stored in the energy storage unit is supplied independently of the electrical energy supplied to the at least one optoelectronic component. The ascertainment circuit is configured such that the detection unit detects a change of the electrical energy stored in the energy storage unit depending on a change of the energy stored in the at least one optoelectronic component.
RAPID PRESSURE RISE DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A rapid pressure rise detection and management system that detects internal pressure changes in a transformer. The rapid pressure rise detection and management system communicates with one or more pressure sensors attached to a tank of the transformer and measures the rate of pressure change versus time. The rapid pressure rise detection and management system then compares this rate of pressure change against a set of parameters to determine if this pressure change is an internal fault requiring the transformer to be taken offline or external fault to be ignored. This rapid pressure rise detection and management system may be a standalone device or work with other monitoring/controlling equipment to expand its sensing and management capabilities.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING GROUND FAULTS IN INVERTER OUTPUTS ON A SHARED DC BUS
A system to detect a ground fault at the output of an inverter section prior to powering up a motor drive system is disclosed. A low voltage power supply is connected to the DC bus prior to connecting the input power source to the rectifier section. If a ground fault exists, the voltage potential on the DC bus causes conduction through one of the freewheeling diodes connected in parallel to the power switching device on the output of the inverter section. A fault detection circuit generates a signal corresponding to the presence of the low Voltage potential when the low voltage is applied to the DC bus. If a ground fault is present at the output of one of the inverter sections, the motor drive system prevents the AC voltage from being applied to the rectifier section.
Robust Safe Switch
The Robust Safe Switch and Control Device is an “Internet of Things” end effecter that provides a minimally dissipating, robust switch tightly integrated with circuit, life and property automated safety features. The device enables extended sensing and monitoring capabilities that enable the effective management of the “Internet of Things.”
Instrument test arrangement
An instrument test arrangement is specified, which is preferably equipped for medical instruments for argon plasma coagulation. The instrument test arrangement comprises an electrode arrangement, comprising at least one test electrode. In a preferred embodiment, a test electrode is thereby connected to two neutral conductors of a neutral conductor cable or device, wherein the neutral conductors are insulated from one another, and wherein the first coupling impedance between the test electrode and the first neutral conductor and the second coupling impedance between the test electrode and the second neutral conductor are equal or at most slightly different, so that a split circuit, which is assigned to a neutral electrode arrangement, does not trigger due to the strike of a test spark or arc.
