Rudolf Diesel
Dr. Rudolf Diesel boarded “SS Dresden”, a cross-channel ferry, at Antwerp in September 1913. He was going to see the newest diesel engine factory of London. The famous engineer was invited as a guest of honor to the opening of that factory. He was traveling alone. After dinner Rudolf Diesel went to his cabin at about 10 p.m. and that was the last time anyone saw him alive. His cabin turned out to be absolutely empty next morning on September, 30. There were only his coat and hat left on the deck.
Internet der Dinge
Die Digitalisierung ist weder aus der Geschäftswelt noch aus dem Privatleben wegzudenken. Doch wie ist der Status quo bei der Nutzung sogenannter vernetzter Geräte tatsächlich – abhängig von Alter, Geschlecht, Technikaffinität? Und in welchem Maße sind Trendthemen wie das „Internet of Things“ (IoT) schon in der Verbraucherpraxis angekommen?

Current and voltage sensors as an alternative to traditional CTs and VTs
As an alternative for traditional primary current and voltage measurement techniques, the use of sensor technique is gaining field. This technique is typically applied to current and voltage measurement in medium-voltage metal-enclosed indoor switchgears.
Intruduction to Number Systems
Number systems provide the basis for conveying and quantifying information. Weather data, stocks, pagination of books, weights and measures - these are just a few examples of the use of numbers that affect our daily lives. For this purpose we find the decimal (or Arabic) number system to be reliable and easy to use. This system evolved presumably because early humans were equipped with a crude type of calculator, their 10 fingers.
