Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for data transmission (28) in the case of a resistance welding current source (1) and to a resistance welding current source (1), wherein during a welding operation (25) welding pulses (20) are generated in an inverter (8) with inverter switching elements (S1, S2, S3, S4) cyclically with a switching frequency (34) and a pulse duration (33) and are applied to the primary side (9) of a transformer (2) and are rectified on the secondary side (11) of the transformer (2) by a rectifier (12) with rectifier switching elements (S5, S6) to form a resultant welding current (IS). In order to be able to dispense with data lines between the power unit (5) and the transformer (2), in a data transmission mode (24) the impedance (23) at the primary side (9) of the transformer (2) is increased in the breaks in the welding operation (25), control pulses (29) for initializing the data transmission mode (24) are applied by a control device (26) to the primary side (9) of the transformer (2), which control pulses (29) are detected on the secondary side (11) of the transformer (2), whereupon the rectifier switching elements (S5, S6) of the secondary-side rectifier (12) are actuated in a way corresponding to the data to be transmitted, and so the current (ITR) on the primary side (9) of the transformer (2) is modulated with these data, and the data are thereby transmitted via the transformer (2).
Abstract:
A system and method of coordinating power states between two detachable units is disclosed. Only the primary unit has a user-controllable power control. The secondary unit is not directly user controllable. The power states of the two units are coordinated using an actuator mechanism when the units are attached. When the two units are detached, the state of the secondary unit is dependent upon the state of the primary unit and any subsequent commands transmitted by the primary unit to the secondary unit.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic remote control and control method thereof; when rotating a second rotary disc (20), the repulsive force between a first magnetic piece (30) on the second rotary disc (20) and a second magnetic piece (40) on a first rotary disc (10) is increased; when detecting increase in force on the second magnetic piece (40), transmitting a corresponding control instruction to a controlled device. The controlled terminal can be controlled by rotating the second rotary disc (20) without providing additional function keys, thus the electromagnetic remote control is small and easy to carry.

The control circuit is configured to energize the solenoid in response to the input signal to generate the magnetic field thereabout to actuate the valve assembly. The transducer further includes a capacitor coupled to the control circuit, wherein upon loss of the input signal, the control circuit signals the capacitor to provide an electrical signal to the solenoid to actuate the valve assembly.
Abstract:
Wireless, battery-less, asset sensor and communication system (10) comprising battery-less sensor (40) integrally housed within a first housing and reader device (20) integrally housed within a second housing. Reader (20) is coupled to handheld portable data collector (PDA) (60) and wirelessly transmits a time varying signal S 1 . When this signal is directed at battery-less sensor (40), battery-less sensor (40) derives power from the wirelessly transmitted signal, powers up, then measures/senses and converts analog signals (102) from an asset such as machine M to digital asset data (104). Digital asset data and optionally stored asset information is formatted to modulate the transmitted signal (S 1 ) for transmitting asset data and information back to the reader (20) wherein the modulated transmitted signal (S 2 ) is demodulated and communicated to the PDC (60).

The invention relates to a sensor arrangement and a method for a sensor arrangement (1, 3, 5) remotely readable by radio frequencies. The sensor arrangement comprises an LC resonator (3, 5) which comprises a capacitor (3) and a coil (5), and a sensor element (1) coupled to the LC resonator (3, 5) whose properties change as a function of a measurable quantity. A sensor element (1) according to the invention does not form a direct galvanic contact with the LC resonator (3, 5), rather the coupling is implemented capacitively or inductively.
