Abstract: A system for processing plate-like workpieces, especially metal sheets, comprises a first processing device in the form of a cutting device and also a second processing device, on which a processing line is defined. By means of a workpiece bed of a longitudinal guide a workpiece is movable relative to the cutting device in a first axial direction extending in a longitudinal direction of the processing line into a processing position. The cutting device, together with a workpiece bed of a transverse guide in an inoperative state, is movable relative to a workpiece in a second axial direction extending in a direction transverse to the processing line and thus transferable into a processing position.

Abstract: Regulation of the active and reactive power output or received by a induction machine (1) in a coordinate system fixed on the winding, wherein a first regulator output variable is generated using a first regulator (46-1) as a function of a setpoint variable deviation of the active power and a second regulator output variable is generated using a second regulator (46-2) as a function of a setpoint variable deviation of the reactive power, feedback variables are charged on each of the first and second regulator output variables, which are functions of at least one chronologically changing system variable of the induction machine, and a voltage or a current of the induction machine is determined as a manipulated variable without further regulation at least from the first and second regulator output variables charged with the feedback variables. The feedback variables may linearize the regulation path and then allow restriction to only two simple regulators, e.g., two PI regulators.

Abstract: Data is written into a non-volatile semiconductor memory using one of at least four steps. A first step is executed if the final states of both the first bit (B1) and the second bit (B2) coincide with their respective initial states and includes maintaining the initial states of the first bit (B1) and the second bit (B2). A second step is executed if both the first bit (B1) and the second bit (B2) have erased final states and the initial states of both the first bit (B1) and the second bit (B2) were not erased and includes erasing both the first bit (B1) and the second bit (B2). A third step is executed if neither the first bit (B1) nor the second bit (B2) is to be changed from a programmed initial state to an erased final state and includes programming the first bit (B1) if the first bit (B1) is to be changed from an erased initial state to a programmed final state, and/or programming the second bit (B2) if the second bit (B2) is to be changed from an erased initial state to a programmed final state.

The locking element is moved towards the unlocking position through a one-way transmission of the actuating element upon a movement of the flap into its closed position or beyond thereof, respectively, and the locking element completely engages the catching element upon arrival of the flap at its closed position. A casing is formed at the inner side of the body. The locking element and parts of the actuating elements are accommodated by the casing, and a locking portion of the locking element is sealingly extended through a wall portion of the casing facing the catching element.

Abstract: A cooling element for heat dissipation in one or more electronic components includes a metal element with one or more slit-shaped receiving openings for one or more electronic components that are to be cooled. In its lengthwise extension, each receiving opening has a receiving bore that holds a helical spring and that runs parallel to the lengthwise extension. The receiving bore is arranged in such a way that it is open on the lengthwise side towards the receiving opening and the spring placed in it projects with a radial partial section into the receiving opening that holds the electronic component. As a result, in partial areas, the spring presses the electronic component against the inner wall of the receiving opening that lies opposite from the spring, thus establishing thermal contact.
