Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thin glass for an optical component that includes a first side with a first surface and a second side opposite the first side with a second surface. The thin glass has a three-dimensional shape with at least one target curvature and a thickness of less than 700 ?m. On at least one first measurement area of 3×3 mm2 of the first surface, all surface structure components in a wavelength range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm have an arithmetical mean height Sa of below 30 nm, below 20 nm, below 10 nm, or below 8 nm. On the first measurement area, all surface structure components in a wavelength range from 0.1 mm to 1 mm can have an arithmetical mean height Sa of between 1 nm and 30 nm, between 3 nm and 20 nm, or between 6 nm and 10 nm. The values for the arithmetical mean height refer to a measurement by means of white light interferometry, with a bandpass filtering of 0.1 mm to 1 mm, i.e. with a bandpass filtering for viewing surface structure components in wavelength ranges from 0.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector for attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector includes a rotatable body segment having a body wall with an outer surface and an inner surface defining a width of the body wall. The body wall has a radial dimension which varies along a perimeter of the rotatable body segment. The inner surface defines a longitudinal opening extending between a forward end of the rotatable body segment and a rearward end of the rotatable body segment. A post positions proximal the forward end of the rotatable body segment. The post has a first end and a second end with a bore extending therebetween. The post is rotationally stationary with respect to the rotatable body segment. A coupling member positions proximal to the first end of the post. The rotatable body segment is rotated to close the coaxial cable connector.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a combustion of an internal combustion engine are provided, including an arrangement, which generates a signal for the intensity of the combustion in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine from a sensor signal of the internal combustion engine. The intensity is compared to a reference level, which was formed from intensities of preceding combustions in the combustion chamber by moving average calculation. An irregular combustion is detected if the intensity exceeds the reference level in a predetermined manner, and then at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine is shifted in the direction of an avoidance of the irregular combustion. Following an irregular combustion, the averaging for forming the reference level is accelerated for a specified duration.

Abstract: Systems and methods of managing operational system components. Maintenance schedules for each of a number of systems are maintained. A worn component scheduled to be replaced in an initial system is identified. An identified component that is scheduled to be removed from another systems and that is able to replace the worn component is identified. Based on the maintenance schedules associated with the systems, the identified component is able to be refurbished after its scheduled removal from the selected remote system in time to be used as a replacement for worn component when it is scheduled to be removed from the initial system. An indication associated with the identified component is stored that indicates that the identified component is scheduled to be: removed from the other system; refurbished; and installed into the initial system at the time of the scheduled removal of the worn component.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector for attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector has a body having a forward end and a rearward end. An internal surface extends between the forward end and the rearward end defining a longitudinal opening and with a cable receiving area proximal the rearward end and a jacket stop proximal the forward end. A post is positioned in the body proximal the forward end and has a first end and a second end with a bore extending therebetween. An insulator is movably disposed in the bore of the post and has a through-passage and a movement limiter. A gripping member is disposed within the longitudinal opening of the body proximal the rearward end and provides a gripping action as the gripping member axially moves toward the forward end of the body.
