Abstract: The invention concerns an active line guide like for example an energy guiding chain with detection of deterioration. An apparatus for detection of deterioration in a critical region of at least one portion of the line guide is in the form of a radio circuit and is distinguished by a transponder and at least one detector element which cooperates with the transponder and which is so arranged that the detector element changes the behaviour of the transponder at a predetermined amount of deterioration wear in the critical region. In that way a change due to wear, for example due to abrasion wear, cracking and/or fatigue breakage, can be detected wirelessly, that is to say in contact-less fashion. A corresponding system and a method as well as a detection module for original fitment or retro-fitment to an active line guide having a function for detection of deterioration are proposed. A radio circuit is also disclosed for particularly reliable detection of deterioration.

Abstract: Techniques herein generate, such as during compilation, polymorphic dispatch logic (PDL) to switch between specialized implementations of a polymorphic graph algorithm. In an embodiment, a computer detects, within source logic of a graph algorithm, that the algorithm processes an instance of a generic graph type. The computer generates several alternative implementations of the algorithm. Each implementation is specialized to process the graph instance as an instance of a respective graph subtype. The computer generates PDL that performs dynamic dispatch as follows. At runtime, the PDL receives a graph instance of the generic graph type. The PDL detects which particular graph subtype is the graph instance. The PDL then invokes whichever alternative implementation that is specialized to process the graph instance as an instance of the detected particular graph subtype. In embodiments, the source logic is expressed in a domain specific language (DSL), e.g. for analysis, traversal, or querying of graphs.

Abstract: A network infrastructure equipment establishes a configuration of radio resources within a second frequency band for use by a terminal device for communications with network infrastructure equipment based on a first radio access technology and communicates an indication of that to the terminal device. The terminal device establishes a configuration of radio resources for use by the terminal device for communications based on a second radio access technology and determines if there is any overlap in radio resources configured for use by two different radio access technologies, and if so communicates an indication of that to the network infrastructure equipment. In response the network infrastructure equipment establishes a replacement configuration of radio resources for communications with the terminal device based on the first radio access technology that avoids the radio resources indicated as subject to overlap, and transmits an indication of the replacement configuration to the terminal device.
