Abstract: A bumper crossmember comprising a wave structure oriented in the vertical direction (z direction), wherein the wave structure comprises at least three apex structures which extend in the bumper crossmember longitudinal direction and are adjacent in the vertical direction. This crossmember comprises a first length section that follows its longitudinal extent, at least one second length section that follows its longitudinal extent, and at least one transition section that is arranged respectively between these length sections. In the second length section, the wave structure is inverted with respect to the first length section, in that the opening direction of the apex structures switches in the transition section.

Abstract: A honeycomb for curved surface lightweight components includes a plurality of elongate ribbons and connecting regions. The connecting regions are provided, respectively, between opposing ribbons to connect the ribbons together in a portion-wise manner in a firmly bonded relationship in a transverse direction. The connecting regions are arranged at regular spacings along the longitudinal direction of a ribbon. Honeycomb-like cells form cavities between the ribbons. With respect to three successive ribbons, a displacement of the connecting regions between first and second ribbons relative to the connecting regions between second and third ribbons toward a first side of the longitudinal direction is lesser than toward a second side of the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A method of operating a dampening unit in a printing press includes providing a first dampening solution applicator roller rolling on a plate cylinder with slip relative to the plate cylinder, and a second dampening solution applicator roller simultaneously rolling on the plate cylinder. As the two dampening solution applicator rollers roll on the plate cylinder, there is a circumferential surface-speed difference between the first dampening solution applicator roller and the second dampening solution applicator roller. A printing press having a dampening unit is also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing electrical noise generated during bus turnaround in signal transfer systems are provided. These systems include differential drivers having current sources continuously coupled to a signal bus during all operating modes of the drivers. A first transistor of the driver couples a first signal line of the bus to the driver current source and a second transistor of the driver couples a second signal line of the bus to the driver current source. Each transistor receives control signals in accordance with the operating mode of the driver. These control signals continuously and selectively couple the current source to the bus lines in a manner which provides uniform current distribution across the bus during all driver operating modes. The uniform current distribution across the bus minimizes interruptions in driver current dissipation and any effects from self-induced supply noise during signal transfers.

Abstract: A method of operating a press that has a damping unit which contains a damping unit roller is performed during a printing interruption. During the printing interruption, the damping unit roller is supplied discontinuously with damping solution replenishment and, as a result, the damping unit roller is kept ready for a printing operation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining clock insertion delays for a microprocessor design having a grid-based clock distribution. The method includes partitioning the complete clock net into a global clock net and a plurality of local clock nets, simulating a load for each of the local clock nets, simulating the global clock net, and combining the simulations to form the complete clock net. The method may further include evaluating the combination to determine whether the results converge and storing the simulation results in a Clock Data Model. When the results do not converge, the method re-simulates at least one of the local clock nets and re-simulates the global clock net. The Clock Data Model collects, manages, retrieves, and queries all of the simulation information. The method may further analyze the complete clock net to predict the clock skew for a given data transfer path for potential redesign.

Abstract: A screen connector for engaging a cable, including an uncovered cable screen, positioned on a plate member is disclosed. The screen connector includes a clamp clip having at least two clamping legs which are spring-mounted relative to one another. The legs of the clamp clip encompass the plate member or busbar by lying opposite one another on the outside, whereby they engage the busbar from below, preferably by a coupling hook. The screen connector also includes a guide press piece having an outer and inner guide surface which slides along outer and inner guideways of the clamping legs when the guide press piece is moved to enclose the clamping legs. The guideways are shaped on the clamping legs in such a way that the clamping legs can be spring-mounted relative to one another when the guide press piece is in an upper initial position, and consequently can be locked onto the busbar in a perpendicular direction to the upper side of the busbar by means of their coupling hooks.
