Abstract: The invention discloses removal of ATM cells from an ATM communications device. A first algorithm is provided by means of which, with the exception of a first and a last ATM cell in a frame, all newly arriving cells in the frame are removed. A second algorithm is provided by means of which all the ATM cells in a frame, from a first cell to a last cell, are removed on arrival in a queue from the ATM communications device. At a start of a transmission process, a user indicates a maximum number of ATM cells per frame, and the ATM cells using the number are transmitted when the maximum number is exceeded, the associated frame is discarded or the first algorithm is used. The invention solves this problem by defining rules whose application results in this method now being used only to a very limited extent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adapting an injection valve characteristic curve of a controlled fuel injection valve for an internal combustion engine, said curve reflecting the reference injection behaviour, to alterations in the actual injection behaviour caused by ageing. According to said method: during an operating mode of the internal combustion engine, which does not require an injection of fuel, the injection valve is intermittently controlled in accordance with a control period, said mode alternating with a period of no fuel injection, i.e. at least one working cycle with injection-valve control follows or precedes a working cycle without injection-valve control; at least one respective RPM value of the internal combustion engine is detected for the controlled working cycle and for at least one of the working cycles without control; a differential between the detected values is calculated and said differential is used to correct the characteristic curve.

Abstract: A standard, modularly expandable system is for measuring and analyzing far spread signals from industrial processes consisting of several partial processes in an essentially feedback-free and synchronous manner. Random signals occurring in the partial processes are detected by way of measuring heads, optionally provided with a time stamp, and transferred to a measuring bus system in a predefined form as measuring signals or time signals. The measuring bus system is not identical with existing automation-related bus systems. The measuring signals and/or time signals are further processed by data concentrators. Evaluation units and/or display units that are local or indefinitely removed from the industrial process make it possible to further process or visualize measuring signals and/or time signals. The measuring heads detect a standard time signal such as the one of the global positioning system.

Abstract: A gas and steam turbine plant includes a waste-heat steam generator which is located downstream of a gas turbine on the flue-gas side and which has heating surfaces that are connected into a water/steam circuit of a steam turbine. A gasification device is located upstream of a combustion chamber of the gas turbine through a fuel line, for the integrated gasification of a fossil fuel. The gas and steam turbine plant is to be operated with particularly high plant efficiency even when oil is used as the fossil fuel. Thus, a heat exchanger is connected on the primary side into the fuel line upstream of a mixing apparatus for admixing nitrogen to the gasified fuel, as seen in the direction of flow of the gasified fuel. The heat exchanger is constructed on the secondary side as an evaporator for a flow medium.

Abstract: The broadcast code (I) is received by the receiver (E) fitted in the motor vehicle, which receiver (E) controls the relevant lock or the relevant locks—after a comparison of the received code (I) with digits stored in the receiver (E) and correlating with the code (I) or with the series of codes (I). The code (I) is initialized as a permanent code or interchangeable code at least on the occasions when the motor vehicle is first used and, possibly when changes are later made to the code (I), is reinitialized. For (re)initialization, the receiver (E) must first be switched by a signal to its (re)initialization readiness, before the receiver (E) can be (re)initialized. The motor vehicle has a diagnostic interface (D) for the electrical testing of motor vehicle units. The receiver (E) is only switched to its (re)initialization readiness by a signal fed to it (E) via the diagnostic interface (D).

Abstract: The device contains an electronic control system, which, in an automatic mode, automatically determines the transmission ratio in dependence of an operating condition, and contains selector devices, which, in the automatic mode, determine the driving stages of the transmission control and, in a manual mode, change the transmission ratio in steps. After a manual selection of the transmission ratio, driving and operating situations in which the automatic mode of the control system is desirable are detected and, if such a situation is detected, a return circuit causes the electronic control system to return to the automatic mode.

Abstract: Pulsations which falsify an output signal of an air mass meter occur at low and medium rotational speeds in a unit that supplies air to an internal combustion engine. A method for adjusting the load of the internal combustion engine limits an opening angle of an electromotively adjustable throttle valve to a rotational speed-dependent opening value which includes an opening base value that is between a lower and an upper limit value. In the case of the lower limit value, the full load of the engine is reached. In the case of the upper limit value, pulsations of the air in an intake duct upstream of the throttle valve do not yet occur.

Abstract: Bit falsifications occur in the switching networks of digital communication systems in the transmission through these switching networks of bit streams composed of a plurality of information words. By correcting these bit errors, only a correctly transmitted information word is forwarded to a destination subscriber after the transmission given redundantly executed and activated switching network halves. Whether an information word was correctly transmission is determined after the transmission with a combined parity bit check as well as bit-by-bit comparison to the information word transmission in parallel. It is assured that bit falsifications of the units (holding memories) participating in the transmission process are detected and corrected.

Abstract: Data are error protected; dual memory control is utilized. From one memory control only write-in data are transmitted in addition to address and control signals; from the other memory control only control data is transmitted. In the first case they are inputted into the user data segment of a segmented memory, while in the second case, they are inputted into the control data segment of the memory from whence they are both included into the data check. Thereby, address errors may also be recognized.

Abstract: A method for generating an FSK-modulated optical signal with an optical two-filter FSK super-heterodyne receiver. The optical signal has two different polarization conditions that are orthogonal to one another. Due to orthogonal conditions, polarization-independent reception is possible. Synchronized polarization shifting occurs to generate a polarized modulated optical signal having alternating orthogonal polarization conditions. A delay stage for delaying the switching signal by one-half a clock period ensures accurate synchronization. The frequency shift of the FSK-modulated signal can be freely selected while maintaining excellent bandwidth characteristics and optimum sensitivity.
