Connection device having plug-in connections

Abstract: The terminal device for a plurality of electrical conductors (21) and / or optical fibers (22) in particular of a bus system having a housing (1) and thereto mountable plug-in connections (10, 11) on one of the sides or on opposing sides of the in the basic shape of rectangular or square casing (1) and arranged inside the housing by means of corresponding electrical contacts (12-15) or optical junctions (19, 20) are connected to electrical, electronic or photoelectric component. In order to the housing (1) to provide selectable connection options, the plug connectors (10, 11) based implemented on its plug-in direction by 90 ° corner on the housing (1) with electrical or light transmitting contact on the same site.

Hierarchical network having decentralized administration

Abstract: The invention relates to a network comprising at least one first client (2), one second client (3a, 3b), one third client (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) and one message transmission device (6) for transmitting messages between the clients, wherein the first client (2) is arranged in a first network level, the second client (3a, 3b) is arranged in a second network level and the third client (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) is arranged in a third network level, wherein the first network level is superior to the second network level and the second network level is superior to the third network level, wherein the network is configured so that the second client (3a, 3b) and the third client (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) can initiate the transfer of a message between the second client (3a, 3b) and the third client (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d), wherein the transfer of the message is restricted to the transfer of the message between the second network level and the third network level.

Electric connecting element

Abstract: The connection element (2) has spring arms (5a, 5b) for fastening the connection element in a receiving space of a contact element in a clamping manner, where the spring arms are arranged at the connection element in a resilient manner. The connection element is designed as a tubular or cylindrical sleeve (6). A continuous slot (8) is provided over an entire height of the sleeve under formation of the spring arms. Each spring arm is provided with a catch hook. A flexible tongue (9) extends into interior of the sleeve. An independent claim is also included for a contact element comprising a wall opening.

Method, fluid supply unit and measuring device for a level indicator

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a pressure machine having a pressure device (5), in particular an inkjet printer, for applying fluid (22) onto a recording material, said method including the monitoring of the quantity of fluid in a fluid supply unit (1) by measuring the fluid level (23) with follow-up control, wherein the measurement of the fluid level (23) is carried out by a device (11) that detects the presence of fluid at the exit of the pressure device (5). The invention also relates to a fluid supply unit (1), a pressure machine having a pressure device (5), in particular an inkjet printer, for applying fluid (22) onto a recording material, said method including the monitoring of the quantity of fluid in a fluid supply unit (1) by measuring the fluid level (23) with follow-up control, wherein the measuring device (11) is suitable for measuring a filling level (23) and controlling the fluid device (3). Furthermore, a measuring device (11), particularly for a fluid supply unit (1), is disclosed, at least a part of the measuring device (11) consisting of printed circuit board material.

Method of inkjet-printing, comprises particular motion of printing head, imaging head and sheet to be printed

Abstract: The ink-jet printer comprises a printing head (12) and an imaging head (13), both transversally moving across the sheet. The light hardened ink is distributed onto the sheet by the printing head (12) while being exposed to the radiation from the imaging head (13). The ink is exposed to the radiation a second time while both heads (12,13) are returned to their prior position. The sheet is moved in a right angle to the motion of the printing head (12) in a last step.
