Abstract: In some examples, a sheet processing machine includes at least one infeed system including at least one transport means including at least one upper holder and at least one lower holder. The at least one transport means can be and/or is arranged in at least three states: a maximally closed state corresponding to a minimal distance, a minimally closed state corresponding to a maximal distance, and an at least one mean state corresponding to at least one mean distance between at least one upper holding surface at least of the respective upper holder, and at least one lower holding surface of the lower holder of the at least one transport means that is assigned to the respective upper holder. During a machine cycle, the at least one transport means has each of the minimally closed state, the maximally closed state, and the at least one mean state at least once.

Abstract: A parallel double-clutch device is arranged in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle between a drive unit and transmission of the drivetrain. The device comprises a first clutch arrangement assigned to a first transmission-input shaft for selectively transmitting torque between the drive unit and first transmission-input shaft. A second clutch arrangement is assigned to a second transmission-input shaft for selectively transmitting torque between the drive unit and second transmission-input shaft. The first clutch arrangement can be actuated by at least one hydraulically drivable first actuating piston assigned a first pressure chamber delimited by a first pressure-chamber housing and the first actuating piston. The second clutch arrangement can be actuated by at least one hydraulically drivable second actuating piston assigned a second pressure chamber delimited by a second pressure-chamber housing and the second actuating piston.

Abstract: Method for controlling user access to a service available in a data network and/or to information stored in a user database, in order to protect stored user data from unauthorized access, such that the method comprises the following: input of a user's speech sample to a user data terminal, processing of the user's speech sample in order to obtain a prepared speech sample as well as a current voice profile of the user, comparison of the current voice profile with an initial voice profile stored in an authorization database, and output of an access-control signal to either permit or refuse access, taking into account the result of the comparison step, such that the comparison step includes a quantitative similarity evaluation of the current and the stored voice profiles as well as a threshold-value discrimination of a similarity measure thereby derived, and an access-control signal that initiates permission of access is generated only if a prespecified similarity measure is not exceeded.

Abstract: Digital method for authentication of a person by comparing a current voice profile with a previously stored initial voice profile, wherein to determine the relevant voice profile the person speaks at least one speech sample into the system, this speech sample is conveyed to a voice-profile calculation unit and thereby, on the basis of a prespecified voice-profile algorithm, the voice profile is calculated, such that the overall size of the speech sample and/or parameters of its evaluation to determine the relevant voice profile are established dynamically and automatically as the sample is spoken, in response to the result of an evaluation of a first partial speech sample.

Abstract: One embodiment may include a multiplate clutch with a first plate set connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a first plate carrier, and with a second plate set connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a second plate carrier, wherein the plates of the two plate sets are arranged consecutively in an alternating manner in the axial direction and can be brought into frictional engagement with one another. At least one spring device is provided for at least one pair of plates consisting of two adjacent plates of the first plate set, by means of which, when the multiplate clutch is open, the two adjacent plates of the pair of plates can be spaced apart from each other in the axial direction, forming an axial spacing (a) which is greater than the width (b) of the in-between and optionally unstressed plate of the second plate set in the axial direction.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide a speaker authentication technology that compensates for mismatches between enrollment process conditions and test process conditions using correction parameters or correction models, which allow for correcting one of the test voice characterizing parameter set and the enrollment voice characterizing parameter set according to a mismatch between the test process conditions and the enrollment process conditions, thereby obtaining values for the test voice characterizing parameter set and the enrollment voice characterizing parameter set that are based on the same or at least similar process conditions. Alternatively, each of the enrollment and test voice characterizing parameter sets may be normalized to predetermined standard process conditions by using the correction parameters or correction models.
