Abstract: A self-driving floor-treatment device navigates by recording images at respective locations along a travel path by a camera the device travels to form a topological map in a database to which a node is added by the floor-treatment device for every location at which an image is recorded and to which an environment images is associated. Each newly recorded environment image with at least one neighboring location in limited proximity of the location belonging to the newly recorded environment image for which a node and an associated environment image have been stored in the map by the same or another floor-treatment device. A new connection is added from the newly recorded node to the associated node of each and every identified neighboring location on the topological map.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing an N-acyl- or N-sulfonyl-?-aminonitrile, comprising the following steps: a) condensation of an N-acyl- or N-sulfonyl-?-aminoaldehyde with hydroxylamine to give an aldoxime, and b) dehydration of the aldoxime obtained in step a) to give an N-acyl- or N-sulfonyl-?-aminonitrile. In an advantageous manner, the absolute configuration can be retained in the conversion to the N-acyl- or N-sulfonyl-?-aminonitrile.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises one or more control inputs to receive a control signal indicating the beginning of a first critical program section of a program that is running in a system; a counter to be incremented from an initial counter value in response to receipt of the control signal; one or more output signal generators to generate the signal for disabling program interrupts; and an output to output the signal for disabling program interrupts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing graphite layers, comprising the step of heating at least one monolayer with low-molecular weight aromatics and/or low-molecular weight heteroaromatics crosslinked in the lateral direction under vacuum or inert gas to a temperature of >800 K, and to graphite layers which are obtainable by this method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a membrane comprising at least one molecular monolayer composed of low-molecular aromatics and cross-linked in the lateral direction, wherein the membrane has a thickness in the range from 1 to 200 nm and a perforation in the form of openings having a diameter in the range from 0.1 nm to 1 ?m, to a method for the production thereof, and to a use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reconfigurable magnetic logic-circuit array having at least two magnetoresistive elements, each composed of at least two magnetic layers, which are separated from one another by an intermediate layer, in each instance, whereby one of the magnetic layers, as a reference layer, does not substantially change its magnetization under the influence of external magnetic fields, and the other magnetic layer, as a free layer, changes its magnetization perceptibly under the influence of external magnetic fields, and having at least one conductor for signal ports, with which conductor, when current is flowing, a first magnetic field can be generated that flips the magnetization of the free layers, and having a device for on-demand generation of a second variable magnetic field, which also influences the magnetoresistive elements.
