    Abstract: A method of controlling an industrial actuator, the method including receiving a manual input in the form of a displacement of an input element; in response to the manual input being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position in a first input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a forward direction along a movement path and with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or a speed of the displacement from a neutral position; and in response to the manual input being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position in a second input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a backward direction along the movement path and with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or a speed of the displacement from the neutral position.

    Abstract: A synchronous machine includes a stator with stator windings connected with stator terminals to an electrical grid and a rotor with rotor windings rotatable mounted in the stator, wherein a voltage regulator of the synchronous machine is adapted for outputting an excitation signal to adjust a current in the rotor windings for controlling the synchronous machine. A method for determining control parameters for the voltage regulator includes (i) receiving a first time series of values of the excitation signal and a second time series of measurement values of the terminal voltage in the stator terminals, (ii) determining coefficients of a system transfer function of the synchronous machine, and (iii) determining the control parameters for the voltage regulator from the coefficients of the system transfer function.

    Abstract: An electrical switch including a frame, a first stationary contact, a second stationary contact, a roll element and a movable contact mounted to the roll element. The roll element is rotatable around a rotation axis between a first position and a second position relative to the frame. The movable contact includes a first contact portion and a second contact portion. In the first position of the roll element, the movable contact electrically conductively connects the first stationary contact to the second stationary contact, and in the second position of the roll element the first stationary contact is electrically disconnected from the second stationary contact. The first in contact portion and the second contact portion are located on opposite sides of a centre plane perpendicular to the rotation axis.

    Abstract: A method for orchestrating use of a communications network for conveying a plurality of data streams transmitted by a plurality of applications includes attributing levels of importance to individual or groups of data streams, determining based at least in part on the levels of importance and on network capacity requirements of the data streams an ordered list of data streams to be curtailed or stopped in case of a shortage of bandwidth in the communications network, providing the list to a management entity that monitors available bandwidth, compares available bandwidth to a combined bandwidth requirement and, in response to determining that the available bandwidth is, or is imminent to become, less than the combined bandwidth requirement, curtails or stops data streams in the order given by the list so as to bring the combined bandwidth requirement back to or below the available bandwidth.
