Abstract: In addition to normal switching elements such as a capacitor (Cd) and a damping resistor (Rd), the damping device comprises an inductive coupler having at least one induction coil (Lf) on the side of a compensation or filter circuit, and at least one second induction coil (Ld), on the side of the damping arrangement. The two induction coils (Lf, Ld), preferably air-cored coils, are electrically conductively connected to a connecting element (6). In preferred embodiments, one induction coil (Ld) is arranged outside the other (Lf). Using the proposed device, the construction and trimming (matching, calibration) of the inductive coupler, and especially its design in terms of insulation, are advantageously simplified, and the production costs are thus also reduced.

Abstract: The method for supplying consumers with gas consists in forming an accumulation capacity (volume) above an exploitable gas-saturated aquifer stratum (layer) and in filling said capacity with gas by exerting a periodic action on the stratum exploited and in then taking off the gas for consumers. The periodic action is produced by generating elastic oscillations, by creating differences in pressure, by increasing temperature, by means of an electromagnetic field or by a combination of these means. By using the method in seismically active regions or in regions subject to the action of elastic oscillations, it is possible substantially to increase the effectiveness of the method.

Abstract: The temperature of a current-regulated electric coil 1, for example the coil of an electromagnetic proportional valve of a hydraulic setting device in a motor vehicle, is determined by measuring the ohmic resistance of the coil winding. The average current through the coil 1 is regulated by a control and evaluation circuit 5, using a pulse-width-modulated setting signal (PWM). At a temperature of the coil 1 which coincides with the temperature of a temperature sensor 8, a correction value is determined, which takes into account the disturbance influence of the other resistances in the coil circuit 4 on the temperature thereof. The temperature of the coil 1 is then calculated from its supply voltage UK/15, the mark-space ratio of the coil current Icoil and the coil current itself, taking into account the correction value. <IMAGE>
