Abstract: The present disclosure relates to allocation of resources. For example, a method for allocating a workspace to a set of employees in an office building may include: storing infrastructure data of the office building in a building management system; storing work profiles of the employees in an employee database, wherein the respective work profiles include comfort preferences of the respective employees; accessing planned work activities with a start time and end time stored in an electronic calendar for each employee; and determining and allocating a workspace to a respective employee on the basis of the infrastructure data, the respective work profile, and the respective planned activities.

Abstract: A vehicle safety system including a detection system and a related method. The detection system is arranged to detect objects and includes at least two detectors. At least one control unit is arranged to determine that an object that is detected by an initial detector is classified as a confirmed object for the initial detector in its initial coverage area. The control unit is also arranged to determine whether at least one detection of another detector is from the same object. If so, a first preliminary detection of the other detector is classified as an intermediate low quality confirmed object for the other detector. A confirmed object is considered as a more reliable detection than a low quality confirmed object, which in turn is considered as a more reliable detection than a preliminary detection.

Abstract: Spindle units are provided for machining devices, in particular for a lathing spindle unit, center drive assembly or milling spindle unit. The spindle unit comprises: a spindle shaft rotatably supported in a housing, a chucking device disposed at the spindle shaft for clamping a workpiece or a tool, a motor drive connected to the spindle shaft for driving the spindle shaft around a drive axis, a clamping device for clamping the spindle shaft at a freely selectable angular position around the drive axis, wherein the clamping device is disposed between the spindle shaft and a stationary part of the spindle unit, and an actuating device for actuating and/or releasing the clamping device. The clamping device can be axially actuated in the direction of the drive axis such that an axial or substantial axial clamping force acts in the direction of the drive axis with the clamping device being actuated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining the dissolution time of medication in pressed form, like tablets and capsules, (especially to DAB 10, 3rd Supplement 1994, or the European Pharmacopoeia or USP [USA]), consisting of a frame (1) with a central column (7) and a base plate (3, 10) having a plurality of holes (5, 5', 11) covered from below by a mesh (4). Test tubes (6, 6') are arranged upright in said holes inside the frame (1). A disk (8, 15) can be movably inserted into said test tubes to weight the individual pressed medication. An electric coil (12) is disposed around each hole (11) and on and/or in the base plate (10), wherein the electric coil forms part of an electrical oscillation circuit (17). A conductor loop (16) is disposed on and/or in the disk (15) for damping the electrical oscillation circuit (17) depending on distance.

Abstract: A set of storage devices together with a method for storing data to the storage devices and retrieving data from the storage devices is presented. The set of storage devices provide the function of a multi-writeport cell through the use of a set of single-writeport cells. The storage devices allow for multiple write accesses. Information contained in the set of storage device is represented by all of the devices together. The stored information may be retrieved via a read operation which accesses a subset of the set of storage devices. A write operation is a staged operation: First, the contents of all of the storage devices which are not to be modified are read. Next, the values that are to be written to a subset B of the set of storage devices are calculated in a way that the contents and the values of subset B together represent the desired result.
