Abstract: Locking mechanisms are provided for locking the position of a miter gauge assembly to a sliding table of a table saw. The mechanisms are biased to a locking position and this bias can provide a sensible indication that the lock has been engaged. The locking mechanisms are configured to engage the guide bar of the miter gauge assembly at different locations along the length of the guide bar, particularly by engaging a series of spaced apart engagement notches. The locking mechanism thus allows the miter gauge assembly to be locked at several positions along the length of the sliding table, from a fully inboard position to a position in which the miter gauge assembly projects beyond the end of the sliding table. The locking mechanism is provided in different embodiments with manually actuated components that can be push/pull, pivoting, rotating or sliding.

Abstract: A method for detecting at least one object between primary and secondary coils of a vehicle's inductive-charging-device. A first ultrasonic signal (FUS) is emitted with a first ultrasonic-transmitter (UT) situated at the primary-coil. A FUS-sequence is received with a first ultrasonic-receiver (FUR) at the vehicle. The FUS-sequence includes at least one first direct-receive signal. Alternatively/in addition, the FUS sequence includes additional receive signals, each of which corresponds to an indirect transmission of the ultrasonic-signal from the at least one UT to the FUR. The first direct receive signal is ascertained within the FUS-sequence and/or additional receive signals are ascertained within the FUS-sequence. The first received ultrasonic-signal-sequence, which includes the ascertained direct-receive-signal and/or ascertained additional receive signals is compared to a first reference-ultrasonic-signal-sequence.

Abstract: A method for operating a feed module of an SCR catalytic converter system which has a feed pump, a feedback pump and a hydraulic interface channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for generating a secret or key in a network having first and second subscribers and a transmission channel therebetween. The first and second subscribers generating first and second sequences of subscriber values to achieve synchronous transmission; and the first and second subscriber each generate a common secret, the first subscriber doing so based on information about the first sequence and a superposition of the second sequence onto the first sequence on the transmission channel, and the second subscriber doing so based on information about the second sequence and the superposition of the second sequence of subscriber values onto the first sequence of subscriber values. At certain intervals or in accordance with a detected sequence of superposed values, the first or second subscriber outputs at least one filler value onto the transmission channel such that an edge change or change in values occurs on the transmission channel.
