  • Publication number: 20140265517
    Abstract: A belt tensioner for a seat belt system includes a belt shaft housing, a belt shaft pivoted about an axis in the belt shaft housing, a rope reel tightly connected to the belt shaft. A tensioner drive includes a tensioner tube, a deformable plastic element guided to be longitudinally movable in the tensioner tube, a drive pinion and a pull rope which is partly wound onto the rope reel. The plastic element is adapted to engage in the drive pinion and to drive the drive pinion in the tensioning direction. During rotation of the drive pinion the pull rope is wound onto a rope drum of the drive pinion, on the one hand, and is unwound from the rope reel, on the other hand, while the belt shaft rotates.

  • Patent number: 8839189
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include executing a business application on a server device, the business application executing a service based on a base plurality of inputs, accessing a first service variant based on the service, generating a first plurality of input fields based on the first service variant, the first plurality of input fields corresponding to a first plurality of inputs, the first plurality of inputs being a sub-set of the base plurality of inputs, and executing the service based on the first plurality of inputs that is input using the first plurality of input fields.

  • Patent number: 7040233
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling drive units in a printing machine are disclosed. During continuous production, and in anticipation of a foreseeable disruption, one or more measuring values that are suitable for characterizing the disruption, are determined. The measuring values are used to estimate the expected variations caused by the disruptions in the variables affecting the printing process. The variables are preregulated or precontrolled directly before the start of the disruption or during the disruption.

  • Patent number: 6211968
    Abstract: A process for adjusting a web tension in a web-fed rotary printing machine addresses the problems of processing variables which are not precisely quatifiable, while minimizing the influence of the press operator. This is achieved by adjusting the web tension using rules of fuzzy logic.

  • Patent number: 6005044
    Abstract: A coating composition is described which is applied to a substrate and contains ultra-fine TiO.sub.2. This coating composition contains from 0.5 to 30.0% by volume of colored pigment and/or carbon black, from 55.0 to 98.5% by volume binder solids and from 0.3 to 15% by volume ultra-fine TiO.sub.2 having a particle size of 5 to 40 nm. It has a high total reflectance and intensive depth of color. Furthermore, a method of making the coating composition is described. Finally, the use of the coating composition as a finishing lacquer for motor vehicles, industrial coating, printing ink, coil coating, package coating, plastic coating and decorative paint, and also as paint, is described.
