The testable relay comprises a relay housing with terminals adapted to connect to a circuit and an opposing top wall with testable terminals formed as projections being flush with or extending from the top wall and being exposed for testing the relay by applying a multimeter device. A self-diagnosing relay comprises a relay housing with terminals adapted to connect to a circuit, and at least two light-emitting diodes (LEDs). One of the LED indicates the relay is energized, and another LED light is a diagnostic LED and indicates if the relay is damaged. | 2021-05-06 |

20210134550 | MODULAR CONTACTOR ARRANGEMENT - A modular switching contactor arrangement for use in a safety-oriented application, has two switching contactor modules that can be arranged in succession by means of a coupling module, the switching contactor modules and the coupling module merely having to be joined together by a user, without any external wiring, so as to be mechanically and electrically coupled to one another. In the mounted state, the switching contactor arrangement has a reduced construction width that is substantially delimited by the narrow faces of the switching contactor modules. In particular, the construction width can be 22.5 mm. | 2021-05-06 |
20210134551 | ELECTRON GUN, ELECTRON BEAM APPLICATION DEVICE, METHOD FOR EMITTING ELECTRON USING ELECTRON GUN, AND ELECTRON BEAM FOCAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT METHOD - The present invention addresses the problem of providing a device with which it is possible to adjust the focal point of an electron beam both toward a shorter focal point and toward a longer focal point after an electronic gun was fitted on a counterpart device. | 2021-05-06 |
