An assistance device () for assisting in the adjustment of a damping choke () of a fluidic actuator (), wherein the assistance device () includes a display arrangement () and is adapted to determine an adjustment recommendation for the adjustment of the damping choke () on the basis of a detected movement of an actuator member () of the fluidic actuator () and to display the adjustment recommendation via the display arrangement (), and the assistance device () is further adapted to determine, based on the movement of the actuator member (), operational safety information based on kinetic energy related to the movement of the actuator member (), and to display the operational safety information via the display arrangement ().

Assistance device and method of operating an assistance device

The present disclosure discloses a switching regulator circuit comprising: a series regulator having at least one regulating transistor with the connections collector, base and emitter; and a DC-DC converter, in particular a step-down converter, which is connected downstream of the series regulator, wherein the switching regulator circuit is designed such that the DC-DC converter is regulated to a constant collector-emitter voltage drop across the regulating transistor; in particular, the DC-DC converter is activated such that a constant collector-emitter voltage drop results. In addition, the present disclosure also discloses a corresponding method.
