Abstract: The invention relates to a device (68) and a method for the non-destructive testing of planar objects (70) such as thick or thin metal sheets using ultrasound in different focal zones, said device comprising one or more independently controllable probes (PK1-PKn), and to the use of matrix phased array probes. To achieve uniform sensitivity over a wide thickness range, the probes (PK1-PKn) are designed as 2-dimensional phased array probes (PK2-PKn) and are located in rows offset in relation to one another. The sum of the number and length of the individual probes (PK1, PKn) corresponds to the width of the material to be tested.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for analysis, diagnosis and debugging fabricated hardware designs at a Hardware Description Language (HDL) level are described. Although the hardware designs (which were designed in HDL) have been fabricated in integrated circuit products with limited input/output pins, the techniques and systems enable the hardware designs within the integrated circuit products to be analyzed, diagnosed, and debugged at the HDL level at speed. The ability to debug hardware designs at the HDL level facilitates correction or adjustment of the HDL description of the hardware designs. Moreover, various embodiments related to HDL code coverage are described.

Abstract: An ultrasound system for inspecting an object is provided. The ultrasound system includes an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) and a pulser-receiver system. The EMAT is configured to generate acoustic signals representative of the area being inspected and comprises a flux concentrating non-conductive pole piece separating a radio frequency (RF) coil and a magnet. The pulser-receiver system is coupled to the EMAT and configured to receive the acoustic signals and convert the acoustic signal to electrical signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a retaining or guiding material for dogs and a dog harness, characterized in that they consist at least partly of a woven tubular fabric having preferably inserted therein a padding. This considerably improves the comfort of the harness, both for the dog wearing it and the person handling the dog.

Abstract: A collar for holding and leading animals comprising a strap, a quick-locking clasp for putting the strap on and for taking it off, and a fastener for attaching a lead or a chain. The collar is especially characterized by the features that the strap is fixedly connected so as to form an endless strap, the quick-locking clasp being provided parallel to a strap section to be bridged for the purpose of bridging said strap section and for adjusting a predetermined length of said strap.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an extruder 1, particularly a small extruder for transferring plastics material in strand form to a plasticized state. In order to improve the homogeneity, it is provided that the screw portion 7 serving for drawing in be constructed simultaneously for granulating the plastics material which is then melted in the further plasticizing portion 6. The special arrangement of the draw-in channel 12 in relation to the configuration of the screw profile of the granulating screw portion 7 causes the separation and granulation of the drawn in plastics strand, so that material which is already granulated is fed into the plasticizing screw portion 6 projecting into the cylindrical bore hole 10 of the housing portion 9 and can then be transferred into the desired state along a short distance.

Abstract: A catheter coupling is provided with a hollow connecting member on which a thrust element can be screwed. The head of an elastomeric clamping member sits in the cavity of the connecting member. A tubular projection extends from the head through the thrust element. The catheter is pushed over a supporting cannula. As the thrust element is tightened, the head is crushed above the catheter and the projection is twisted. Crushing and torsion reduce the inner diameter of the clamping member, so that it fits around the catheter and seals it. This results in a long seal. The clamping member is connected with the thrust piece, so that the entire catheter coupling requires handling of only two parts.
