Abstract: A method for operating a drive train of a transportation vehicle wherein the drive train is switched between a first operating state, in which a two-wheel drive of the drive train is activated, and a second operating state, in which a four-wheel drive of the drive train is activated. The drive train is switched by an electronic computing device from one of the operating states to the other operating state. During the driving of the transportation vehicle, a demand time is determined by the electronic computing device not later than which the switching from the one operating state to the other operating state must be completed, the demand time lying in the future with respect to the determination of the demand time. The switching from the one operating state to the other operating state is commenced at a starting time in advance of the demand time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an inhaler device for delivering a dose of medicament in dry powder form from a container to a patient in need thereof. The inhaler comprises first and second airflow paths (80, 85) which are arranged such that during inhalation, a capsule (40) having a longitudinal axis and first and second end sections (90, 95) delimiting the capsule on opposing ends located in a capsule chamber (30) performs an oscillating movement in the capsule chamber parallel to its longitudinal axis between first and second sidewall portions (60, 65) of the capsule chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for depositing one or more layers, in particular crystalline layers, on one or more substrates, in particular crystalline substrates (6), which are situated on a susceptor (3) in a process chamber (2) of a reactor (1). A process chamber wall (4) that can be actively heated by a process chamber heating unit (11) lies opposite the susceptor (3) that can be actively heated by the susceptor heating unit (11). The device is provided with a gas inlet organ (7) for introducing process gases into the process chamber and the process chamber heating unit (11) has a coolant channel (13) and is situated at a distance from the exterior (18) of the process chamber wall (4) during the active heating of the latter (4). The aim of the invention is to also allow the device to be used with hybrid technology.

Abstract: A method and device are provided concerning automatic reconstruction and evaluation of a traveled route, e.g., for offboard toll recording. In an embodiment, cost-effective onboard units, i.e., mobile telephony devices installed in a vehicle, are provided which record the position information, compress the recorded position information, and transmit the compressed position data to a main station. The main station is then able to reconstruct from the compressed position data the route a vehicle has actually traveled. An evaluation of the position information, e.g., for determining tolls, is carried out in a separate device. Since position data, digital maps and other operating data are now administered and processed in a central device, these data may be adapted in a simple and rapid manner, e.g., when updating the road geometries.

Abstract: A method for the production of coated substrates, such as OLEDs is disclosed, whereby at least one layer is deposited on the at least one substrate, by means of a condensation method and a solid and/or fluid precursor and, in particular, at least one sublimate source is used for at least one part of the reaction gases. The invention is characterized in that, by means of a temperature control of the reaction gases between precursor source(s) and substrate, a condensation of the reaction gases before the substrate(s) is avoided.

Abstract: What is described here is a method and a temperature management and reaction chamber system for the production of nitrogenous semiconductor crystal materials of the form AXBYCZNVMW, wherein A, B, C represent elements of group II or III, N represents nitrogen, M represents an element of group V or VI, and X, Y, Z, V, W represent the mol fraction of each element in this compound, operating on the basis of gas phase compositions and gas phase successions. The invention excels itself by the provisions that for the production of the semiconductor crystal materials the production process is controlled by the precise temperature control of defined positions in the reaction chamber system under predetermined conditions.
