Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for recognizing potential overheating of an object. For this purpose the temperature of the object is measured by means of temperature sensors. A signal processing arrangement determines the temperature gradient from the measured temperature values. A comparator compares the determined value of the temperature gradient with a threshold value generated by a threshold value generator. When the threshold value is exceeded, a warning signal generator triggers a warning signal. This warning signal can be an acoustical or optical signal. In addition or alternatively, the warning signal can activate a protective measure arrangement.

Abstract: A wear indicator (14) comprises an indicating edge (20) which interacts with a reference surface formed by a surface of the pad (7) of the disc brake (1) opposed to the pad (6) with which the indicator is associated. The increase of the wear on the friction material (10, 10') causes said pads (6, 7) to move progressively toward each other. Consequently, the aperture (40) delimited by the indicating edge (20) and by the reference surface (36) is progressively closed. The described wear indicator can be used to measure even small variations of the thickness of the layer of friction material, since, as the wear increases, both the indicating edge (20) and the reference surface (36) move toward each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus which provides a signal with an output frequency higher than an input frequency. A phase generator generates multiple phase signals from the input signal with each phase signal having the same frequency as the input signal but being out of phase with the input signal by multiples of a set time interval. These phase signals are transmitted to a multiplexer. The multiplexer output is determined by a select word generated by an accumulator from a stored value. The accumulator is clocked by the multiplexer output and the accumulator adds a control word with a set value to the stored value in the accumulator. This addition is accomplished at every cycle of the multiplexer output. By judiciously choosing control word and the time interval between phases, frequencies higher that the input frequency can be generated at the multiplexer output.
