Abstract: An article of clothing includes a sensor attached to a fabric body for detecting forces applied to the fabric body. A processor is attached to the fabric body and is communicatively coupled to the sensor. The processor receives signals from the sensor, analyzes the signals, and discerns therefrom whether a physical attack is occurring on a wearer of the fabric body. The processor emits a distress signal if it is discerned that an attack is occurring.

Abstract: A method and arrangements for extracting a plurality of clock signals for signal-processing circuits, in particular for a digital modem, from a supplied clock signal, for the clock signals to be extracted to be formed in each case from an output signal of an accumulator of predefined bit width n. The accumulator accumulates in each case an increment in the clock pulse of the supplied clock signal and, in the process, performs a modulo2n operation.

Abstract: A fuel injector has an actuator for generating a lifting movement and a lift translator filled with a hydraulic medium and deformable in the lifting direction, for transferring the lifting movement of the actuator to a valve needle, provision being made for a compensating chamber for the hydraulic medium, the compensating chamber being connected to an interior space of the lift translator via a throttle opening and enclosed by an elastic casing. Thus, temperature-related quasistatic deformations of actuator, lift translator, and/or valve needle can be compensated for by an exchange of the hydraulic medium between the interior space of the lift translator and the compensating chamber, while the comparatively fast lifting movements of the actuator are transmitted to the valve needle essentially without damping.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling the braking system of a vehicle that includes at least two subvehicles. In this context, at least one of these subvehicles is provided with an electrically controllable braking system. A correcting quantity is determined from operating variables of the first subvehicle for influencing the longitudinal forces between the vehicle sections during a braking process. The correcting quantity is determined repeatedly during a braking process, the determination of the correcting quantity being effected more quickly at the beginning of a braking than in the course of the braking process. Furthermore, the correcting quantity is determined in such a way that the ratio of braking force to normal force in both subvehicles is essentially adjusted to the same value.
