Abstract: A device for supplying boards to crosscut saws has a feeding device and a transverse transport unit arranged downstream of the feeding device. Several loading planes are arranged downstream of the transverse transport unit and positioned at different levels. The boards are supplied on the loading planes to a crosscut saw, respectively. The transverse transport unit is adjustable relative to the loading planes about an axis that is transverse to a transport direction of the boards on the transverse transport unit. A stop is adjustably arranged in the transport path of the boards on the transverse transport unit, wherein the stop, without sensing the boards, is adjustable exclusively by a control unit of the device. When the transverse transport unit is being adjusted into a new position relative to the loading planes, the stop prevents further transport of the boards to the loading planes, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspension device for the load-bearing and resilient support of a wheel in a motor vehicle. The device comprises at least one spring cylinder with a piston which is guided in a manner moveable relative to it in a pressure cylinder. A driving device converts pivoting movement of a wheel oscillating-crank supporting arm, which movement oscillates about an oscillating-crank axis into the relative movements between the pressure cylinder and the piston. The piston acts counter to an elastically compressible spring medium in order to produce a load-bearing supporting spring force. The driving device is designed as a gearwheel mechanism.

Abstract: In a method for the excitation of port groups of a multi-port device under test with coherent incident waves of the same frequency, which provide defined amplitude ratios and phase differences within each port group, the waves are generated respectively by one signal generator of a vectorial network analyzer per test port. The network analyzer has unbalanced test ports. A system-error correction of the unbalanced incident and reflected waves with reference to the ports of the device under test is implemented in order to obtain corrected waves. The amplitude and phase changes required in the signal generators to fulfil the desired amplitude and phase conditions are calculated from these corrected waves.
