Abstract: A filter element, in particular an air filter element, has a filter media body surrounding a hollow interior and has a first end and an opposite second end. A first end cap is positioned on the first end of the filter media body, and a second end cap is positioned on the second end of the filter media body. The second end cap is a closed end cap. The second end cap has a plurality of spaced-apart inner adapter projections arranged thereon and projecting in direction of a central axis away from the first end cap. At least some of the inner adapter projections are positioned in a circular arrangement so as to surround a center of the second end cap. Such a filter element is arranged in a housing of a filter system provided with a receiver arrangement for the filter element.

Abstract: A cable protection cover includes a housing attachment section securing the cable protection cover to a housing of an electrical device and receiving an electric connector attached to the housing. The housing attachment section has a connector lock with a locking member restraining the electric connector in a pull-out direction in a position in which the electric connector is attached to the housing.

Abstract: A heating device for a vehicle seat, that includes at least one heating surface that is at least in sections permeable to heat radiation; and at least one heat generator arranged at least partially behind the at least one heating surface. The at least one heat generator is configured to generate the heat radiation and to emit the generated heat radiation in a direction of at least one heating surface. The at least one heating surface has a plurality of emission zones that are spaced apart from one another, for emitting the heat radiation.

Abstract: A heater having a cover and a heating element. The heating element is configured to generate heat that is transferred through the cover via radiative heating and/or conductive heating.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to provide a testing framework for testing code are described herein. In one aspect, a request to test at least a portion of code is received. A test model composed of model elements representing the portion of the code, code on which the portion of the code depends and one or more preexisting test doubles is generated. An option is provided to define one or more test double elements, in the test model, corresponding to the code on which the portion of the code depends. Further, an option is provided to alter dependencies between the model elements and the defined one or more test double elements in the test model. Furthermore, new one or more code artefacts are generated based on the test model and the generated new one or more code artefacts are executed to test logic of the portion of the code.

Abstract: Barrel-shaped pinions and methods for their engagement with racks are provided allowing for a larger margin of inaccuracy between the rack and pinion gear set avoiding the necessity of costly, high-precision manufacturing processes. The generally barrel-shaped pinion has an outer toothed surface extending axially along a portion of the pinion. The toothed outer surface has first and second ends and a middle section. A diameter of the middle section is larger than a diameter of both the first and second ends. Also provided is a dual-pinion rack gear system utilizing a first driven pinion, a second generally barrel-shaped drive pinion and a rack. Teeth of the first driven pinion and teeth of the second drive pinion mesh with teeth of the rack at two separate locations.

Abstract: An apparatus for finishing a surface of a camshaft extending along an axis with the surface offset from the axis has a drive for rotating the camshaft about the axis, a support displaceable radially of the axis, and a plurality of pusher heads on the support. The heads are movable independently of each other toward and away from the camshaft relative to the support along respective angularly offset pusher axes extending radially of the camshaft. All the pusher heads are biased along the respective pusher axes toward the camshaft axis with substantially the same force.
