Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product for changing an electrical state of charge of an electrical energy storage: a) stipulating at least one target value for a target state of charge of the electrical storage device, b) determining at least one actual value of an actual state of charge of the electrical storage device, c) extrapolating the actual value of the actual state of charge of the energy storage device to an extrapolation value of an extrapolation state of charge of the energy storage device, taking into account at least one charging parameter of the charging process, and d) comparing the target value of the target state of charge with the extrapolation value of the extrapolation state of charge and starting or interrupting the charging process if the extrapolation value deviates from the target value by more than 2%.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for mobile payment handover for self-service terminals. An embodiment operates by generating handover data configured to instruct a user device to settle an amount due. The embodiment further operates by obtaining an electronic confirmation that the amount due has been settled. Subsequently, the embodiment operates by determining that the amount due has been settled responsive to the electronic confirmation.

Abstract: An elevator guide having a bracket and a hub moveable relative to the bracket. A face arm and opposing side arms are connected to a cylindrical portion of the hub each having at least one guide member (e.g., wheel) or a gib assembly connected to the cylindrical portion of the hub. A self-centering hub spring is preferably provided. An adjustable hub spring force adjustment member for independently varying the spring force of the hub spring and an adjustable stop for independently adjusting the distance the hub can move away from an elevator rail are provided. The hub preferably includes one or more lubricant receiving members configured to enhance distribution of a lubricant. One or more components of the guide include one or more initial set-up markings that readily allow a user to position one or more components in an optimal set-up position to significantly reduce assembly time. The hub and hub spring are preferably configured to prevent the hub spring from falling out of the hub.

Abstract: The invention relates to a production method for an electrical resistance element (for example a shunt) with the following steps: —providing a resistance alloy in powder form, and—forming the resistance element from the powdered resistance material. The invention also relates to a correspondingly produced resistance element.

Abstract: A weighing scale (1) for a retail store counter includes a housing (2), a load-receiving platform (3) on top of the housing, and operating components (27) enclosed therein, including a weighing cell (24). A load-transmitting mechanical connection (25) couples the weighing cell to the load-receiving platform. Analog and digital weighing electronics convert electrical weight signals of the weighing cell into digital weighing results. A touchscreen display panel (7, 22, 23) interacts with a human operator, and is configured as a layered assembly with a liquid crystal display (23), a projected capacitive (PCAP) touch screen (22) with a plurality of touch-sensing points, and a protective glass plate (21) on top of each other. The layered assembly is integrated horizontally in the load-receiving platform facing the human operator. The top surface operates as a load-receiving surface (45) a touch field keyboard (40, 41, 42, 47) and a display window (43, 46, 48).
