Abstract: A computer-implemented broker entity receives from a requesting device a request for one or more target values of state information that have sought target semantic meanings; obtains one or more source values of state information that are associated with given source semantic meanings; obtains at least in part from a transformation library one or more transformations, wherein each transformation maps one or more first values that are associated with first semantic meanings to one or more second values that are associated with second semantic meanings; applies the one or more transformations or a new transformation obtained based on the one or more transformations to the source values of state information, thereby obtaining the one or more target values of state information; and transmits the one or more target values to the requesting device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a formulation comprising a polyether siloxane, which is characterized in that a polyether that is terminated with an ester group and that is different from the polyether siloxane is present in the formulation in an amount of from 0.5 to 10% by weight based on the complete formulation, to a process for the production of a defoamed composition, wherein the inventive formulation is added to the composition to be defoamed, and to a composition comprising a formulation according to the invention, wherein the composition is a coating agent, a paint or a varnish.

Abstract: A system for adjusting a closure element of a vehicle comprises an adjustment drive for adjusting the closure element relative to a vehicle body of the vehicle between a closed position and an open position, a control device for actuating the adjustment drive for executing an adjusting movement of the closure element between the closed position and the open position, and a light generating device for generating a light signal. The control device is configured to actuate the light generating device for generating a first light signal during an adjusting movement of the closure element and for generating a second light signal when the closure element is in the open position.

Abstract: A device for fastening and electrical contacting of a vehicle window pane with an integrated electrical functional element. The device includes a pane adapter fixed on the window pane; a pane holder that couples the pane adapter with a vehicle body; a pane-side plug that establishes electrical contact with the functional element when the window pane is assembled; and a pane-side coupling shoe for mounting the pane-side plug on the window pane. The device further includes a mating plug that couples with the pane-side plug to provide electrical contact of the functional element to a control unit. The pane adapter, the pane-side coupling shoe, the pane holder, and a plug holder that supports the mating plug, are kinematically coupled so that during assembly of the window pane using the pane adapter on the pane holder, the pane-side plug is connected to the mating plug.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a cable drip loop securement system that during operation of a wind turbine, including a nacelle supported by a tower prevents knurl formations beyond a specified area of at least one cable that is routed from the nacelle into the tower is provided. The cable drip loop securement system includes a displaceable cable drip loop securement device that accommodates part of the at least one cable and a positioning element for connecting the cable loop securement device inside of the tower. The at least one cable can turn and eventually form knurls only above the cable loop securement device.
