Abstract: The invention relates to a locking system for two elements of a closure system that are mobile relative each other, especially a door and a stop associated therewith of a refrigerator. The invention also relates to a refrigerator, especially for a camper, that is provided with such a locking system. The locking system comprises a corresponding closure system which is characterized in that an engaging element, disposed on a first part of the closure system (refrigerator housing), and a reception element (2), disposed on the second part of the closure system (refrigerator door), are disposed to be mobile relative each other in such a manner that they engage with each other independent of the closure system (refrigerator housing   refrigerator door) and can be detached from each other. The reception element (2) is configured to have at least two receiving possibilities for the engaging element (1) so that the locking system has at least two locking positions, namely a position in which the refrigerator is locked, and a position in which the refrigerator is at least partially opened.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring the consumption of electrical energy, which determines a current output signal from voltage and current signals (u, i) that can be supplied to inputs (2, 3) of the circuit, said output signal being multiplied by a calibration factor by means of a calibration block (10). The calibration factor is stored in a non-volatile, programmable read-only memory (12), which comprises a plurality of irreversibly programmable memory cells (13). Said cells are configured in such a way that an irreversible reprogramming of any memory cell (12) causes the calibration factor to be increased. This means that any manipulation of the energy meter by a reprogramming of the calibration factor, for example after an authorised calibration, always leads to an undesirable increase in the measured value for the manipulator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a proximity sensor (11) for initiating the warhead of an anti-missile shell that is launched from the object to be protected in the direction of an approaching attacking projectile, in order to disturb or even destroy the functionality of the attacker. The proximity sensor (11) should not yet respond to the appearance of the adversary to be fought of ahead of the course thereof; rather, the proximity sensor should respond only when the adversary to be fought of is detected at a distance and at an angle ahead that is optimal for the effect of the anti-missile shell. Such a hollow cone wall-shaped response characteristic is achieved when an annular detector element (12) is disposed in the image focus plane behind a positive cylindrical lens (14).
