    Abstract: An enhancement device for a wireless antenna. The wireless antenna serves for transmitting and receiving wireless signals for wireless data transmission. The wireless signals comprise a first transmission protocol and a first transmission frequency. A connecting element is provided, which connects the enhancement device to the wireless antenna. A first transmitting-/receiving unit is provided, which serves to receive transmission wireless signals from the wireless antenna. A converter is provided which is embodied to convert the transmission wireless signals from the wireless antenna into a second transmission protocol and/or into a second transmission frequency. A second transmitting-/receiving unit is provided, which serves to transmit the converted transmission wireless signals, wherein a circuit is provided, which is embodied to harvest energy from the received transmission wireless signals.

    Abstract: A module for monitoring industrial processes for use in a system for monitoring industrial processes that comprises sensor means (7; 17) for detecting process quantities in a process station (20), acquisition means (8, 32; 32′; 32″) for acquiring measurement signals (R) issued by said sensor means (7; 17), processing means (9; 19) operating on signals (T; T1) generated by said acquisition means (8, 32; 32′; 32″) to obtain information on the quality of the process, and means for managing the production flow (9; 19), which operate on the basis of said information on the quality of the process and are located in a workstation (50) that is remote with respect to said process station, said monitoring module (30) being configured for being set locally at said at least one process station (20) for receiving measurement signals (R) issued by said sensor means (7; 17). Said monitoring module (30), set locally at said process station (20) comprises means (32″) for acquisition and processing of the measurement signals (R), which in turn comprise means (33) for encoding said measurement signals (R) generated by said sensor means (17) into encoded signals, and wireless transmission means (42) associated to said acquisition means (32″) configured for sending the encoded signals (T; T1) generated by said acquisition means (32″) to corresponding wireless receiver means (82; 43) comprised in said remote workstation (50) that comprises said means for managing the production flow (19) and said processing means (9), which operate on signals (T; T1) generated by said acquisition means (32″) to obtain information on the quality of the process, said acquisition means (32″) comprising a voltage-to-frequency converter (72) for converting said measurement signals (R) into a pulse train (T1) at a variable frequency greater than or equal to 65 536 Hz.

    Abstract: A method is provided for managing power for a wireless communication device. The method includes receiving a loop current at an insertion voltage at an initial input, the loop current being generated by a power supply. The method further includes comparing a reference voltage to the insertion voltage and generating a feedback signal based at least upon the comparison of the reference voltage to the insertion voltage. The method still further includes regulating the insertion voltage based at least upon the feedback signal, delivering charging power to an electrical storage element, wherein the charging power is a function of the insertion voltage and the loop current, and storing the charging power in the electrical storage element.
