Cable connector plug for electrical connection of multi-core cable to connection device of electrical distributor, has spring legs contacting insulation displacement terminals on flat sides during connection of plug with connection device

Abstract: The plug (1) has multiple contact elements provided with an insulation displacement terminal and a connection element i.e. contact spring. A capsule-shaped connection body (10) has external threads (9) that correspond to an internal thread of an union nut (5). The contact spring has two spring legs lying opposite to each other. The spring legs contact individual insulation displacement terminals on flat sides lying opposite to each other during connection of plug with a connection device. The terminals are connected to the connection device by a bus bar that is molded of plastic. An independent claim is also included for an electrical distributor comprising a housing.

Base element and surge protection system

Abstract: A base element and a surge protection system incorporating the base element are provided. The base element includes a housing having a front portion and a rear portion. Apertures in the rear portion provide access to contacts secured within the housing, and a receiving portion extending from the front portion includes at least one receiving section for receiving a surge protection cartridge. Plug receptacles in the receiving portion are in electrical communication with the contacts to incorporate the surge protection device in a circuit when the surge protection cartridge is inserted. The base element is configured to mount orthogonally to a case such that conductors secured to the contacts extend through the apertures and into an enclosure defined by the case in a substantially linear direction. The system includes a case configured to be attached to a rack mount system and a plurality of base elements secured to the case.

Method and system for determining user fees incurred from the use of an automation system

Abstract: The present invention [relates to the] is a method and system for determination of user fees incurred from [the] use of [a] an automation system by [a] an automation system user for at least one automation system component made available by [the] a supplier. The [object of the] present invention [is to indicate] provides a way to easily determine such user fees[,] without running [the] a risk of having to disclose internal production data[,] and simultaneously [keeping the] keep number of actions required from the automation system user as low as possible. To this end, the present invention proposes that user data allocatable to the automation system component be acquired using a first data processor connected with the automation system[, the]. The acquired user data [be] is transmitted by the first data processor to a second data processor located on [the] a supplier side[, and the]. The user fees [be] are determined as a function of the transmitted user data using the second data processor.

Abstract: Vorrichtung mit einem Kabel (1) und einem das Kabel (1) wenigstens teilweise umgebenden Spritzbauteils (2), wobei das Spritzbauteil (2) Umspritzmaterial (3) aufweist, mit dem das Kabel umspritzt ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass auf dem Kabel ein Dichtelement (4) vorgesehen ist, das von dem Umspritzmaterial (3) umspritzt ist, und das Dichtelement (4) verformbar und/oder spannbar ist und mittels des Umspritzmaterials (3) in eine derartige Verformung bzw. Spannung gebracht ist, dass das Dichtelement (4) einen Druck auf das Kabel (1) ausubt und dazu als Widerlager gegen das Umspritzmaterial druckt.

Wind power assembly

Abstract: Windkraftanlage (10) mit einer Gondel (23) und einem Rotor (25) und mit einem Datenubertragungssystem (1) zur Datenubertragung von einer ersten Datenkontakteinrichtung (2) in der Gondel (23) uber einen Datenubertrager (4) zu einer relativ zu der ersten Datenkontakteinrichtung (2) rotierbaren zweiten Datenkontakteinrichtung (3) in dem Rotor (25) geeignet und eingerichtet ist. Die erste Datenkontakteinrichtung (2) ist mit einem ersten DSL-Modem (5) verbunden, welches uber den Datenubertrager (4) mit einem zweiten DSL-Modem (6) verbunden ist. Das zweite DSL-Modem (6) ist mit der zweiten Datenkontakteinrichtung (3) verbunden. Zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Datenkontakteinrichtung (2, 3) ist der Datenubertrager (4) vorgesehen.
