Level shifter circuit for level adjustment

Abstract: Apparatuses for level adjustment are essential to make adjustments to signals between integrated circuits having differing signal levels in electronic circuits. To assure signal adjustment for a large number of signals, as occur in parallel busses, an apparatus for level adjustment is used. This digital level adjustment uses the I/O cells already present in the integrated circuits with an externally wired pullup resistor and an internal digitally programmed or constructed signal connection for controlling output drivers.

Device for mounting pin on printed circuit board, has insulating body with receiving element for receiving region of pin, where receiving element with longitudinal axis is arranged at angle to suction surface of body

Abstract: The device has an insulating body (24) for receiving a pin (10). The pin includes two regions (14, 16), where a longitudinal axis (18) of one of the regions is vertical to a surface of a printed circuit board (12). A longitudinal axis (20) of the other region is formed with a given angle to the longitudinal axis of the former region. The body includes a suction surface (40) for an automatic placement machine. The body includes a receiving element (26) for receiving the latter region. The receiving element with a longitudinal axis is arranged at an angle to the suction surface of the body.

Electrical connector has clamping arms of both draw springs that overlap and openings in clamp arms also at least partly overlap

Abstract: The device has an insulating housing (1) and at least 2 draw springs (2,12), at least 2 electrical lead insertion openings (3,13) and at least 2 actuator openings (5,15) for 2 tools for opening the draw springs, which have clamp arms (1,16) with openings (7,17) for inserting the leads, contact arms (8,18) and connecting pieces (9,19). The clamping arms of both draw springs overlap and the openings in the clamp arms also at least partly overlap. AN Independent claim is also included for an arrangement of at least two draw springs.

Vorrichtung und Verfahren zum Beleuchten einer Stoffoberfläche

Abstract: Vorrichtung zum Beleuchten einer Stoffoberflache mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung (101) zum Beleuchten der Stoffoberflache (103) mit einem Kalibrierungslicht (105), einer Erfassungseinrichtung (107) zum Erfassen eines von der Stoffoberflache (103) ansprechend auf das Kalibrierungslicht (105) ausgesandten Messlichts (109), und einer Prozessoreinrichtung (111) zum Erfassen der spektralen Charakteristik des Messlichts (109), welche ein spektrales Remissionsverhalten der Stoffoberflache (103) charakterisiert, wobei die Beleuchtungseinrichtung (101) ausgebildet ist, ein Beleuchtungslicht (113) zum Beleuchten der Stoffoberflache (103) zu erzeugen, das eine spektrale Charakteristik aufweist, welche der spektralen Charakteristik des Messlichts (109) entspricht

Method for transferring real-time data from one subscriber to another subscriber of real-time Ethernet networks, involves transmitting real-time message from subscriber at real-time router in a real-time Ethernet network

Abstract: The method involves transmitting a real-time message from a subscriber (2) at a real-time router (5) in a real-time Ethernet network (4). The real-time message includes a Medium access control (MAC) address of one subscriber, a destination information of another subscriber (11) and a real-time record. A destination Internet protocol (IP) address of another real-time router (7) in another real-time Ethernet network (8) is determined by the former real-time router based on the destination information. The source information, destination information and the real-time data set are encapsulated in an IP message. Another MAC adress of latter subscriber is detremined by latter real-time router. An independent claim is included for a real-time router for automation system for connecting a real-time Ethernet network with a non-real-time Internet protocol network.
