Disclosed is a processor element including a plurality of power supply interfaces, a plurality of power supply switches, and a fault-testing unit for testing whether a short-circuit to a connected adjacent processor element has occurred at a power supply interface. The respective power supply switch is closed in case no short-circuit has occurred such that electricity can be fed to the respective power supply interface.

Processor array having a multiplicity of processor elements and method of transmitting electricity between processor elements

A processor arrangement having a plurality of processor units and a control computer. Each of the processor units is connected to at least one adjacent processor unit and has one control element and at least one communications interface for providing a data communications link with an adjacent processor unit. The control computer is connected to one of the processor units, and is configured for exchanging information with the processor unit and for assigning one control element of the plurality of control elements to a device that is electrically connected to the processor arrangement for the control of the device.

Processor array arrangement controlled by control computer

An identification carrier is disclosed. In one embodiment, the identification data carrier, includes a carrier substrate, having an electronic chip fitted on and/or in the carrier substrate, and having a transmitting/receiving antenna formed on and/or in the carrier substrate and serving for transmitting and for receiving electromagnetic radiation, and having a first capacitance, the chip being capacitively coupled to the transmitting/receiving antenna by means of the first capacitance.
