Abstract: A controller for a tool drive that collects force data and displacement data from the tool drive. The controller generates a stiffness model representing a workpiece using the force data and the displacement data. The controller further collects a force signal from the tool drive. The controller determines deflection of the workpiece using the force signal and stiffness model. The controller determines a resonant frequency of the workpiece using the stiffness model. The controller modifies an oscillation frequency and/or a rotational frequency of a spindle of the tool drive based on the resonant frequency. The controller also determines a location of a tip of the tool drive using the force signal.

Abstract: A mobile work machine has a loadbearing frame and a drive unit. A covering unit can be moved for into and out of a covering position covering a loadbearing frame opening for covering the drive unit. At least one closure unit for selectively holding the covering unit in a closure position has at least one first closure element and one second closure element which can be adjusted along an adjustment path relative to the first closure element. The closure unit has at least one obstacle to be overcome during the relative adjustment of the first and second closure element. The obstacle defines a release path during opening which is oriented in the direction of the adjustment path and, defines a fixing path during closing which is oriented in the direction of the adjustment path. The release path for the opening is greater than the fixing path.

Abstract: A printing system is provided comprising a print head including a plurality of ink nozzles; an actuator configured to move the print head relative to a substrate; a print head position sensing system configured to detect an actual position of the print head relative to the substrate; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive the actual position of the print head detected by the print head position sensing system corresponding to a target print head position; determine a positional offset between the actual position and the target print head position; generate a nozzle firing pattern based on the positional offset; and control the print head to print the nozzle firing pattern at the target print head position using the plurality of ink nozzles.

Abstract: A hand-held power tool has a lower mass and an upper mass. The lower mass has a tool and a working device for causing the tool to effect a work movement. The upper mass is movable relative to the lower mass and has a drive motor for the working device. A first vibration decoupling device is arranged between the lower mass and the upper mass for decoupling the upper mass from the lower mass in terms of vibration. A guide drawbar guides is provided for guiding the work tool by an operator. An electrical energy storage provides electrical energy for starting the drive motor. A drawbar carrier is carried by the upper mass and is connected to the upper mass via a second vibration decoupling device. The guide drawbar is attached to the drawbar carrier, and the energy storage is carried by the drawbar carrier.

Abstract: A vibrating plate serving as a tamping device comprises an upper mass equipped with a drive and comprises at least two lower masses, which are coupled to the upper mass while being able to oscillate relative to the upper mass. Each of the lower masses comprises a soil contacting plate and at least one oscillator assigned to this soil contacting plate. The oscillators can be controlled differently so that, in addition to an advancing and compacting action, a turning moment can be executed about a vertical axis (Z).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an aggregate for the production of building materials, wherein a starting material containing at least one fibre-containing waste fraction has had heavy materials removed and been comminuted in order to obtain a substantially free-flowing aggregate. Improved product properties can be achieved in such a way that the fibre content is set between 3% and 45%, preferably between 5% and 25%, and more preferably between 7% and 12%, and a mass fraction of between 2% and 25%, preferably between 2% and 10%, and more preferably between 3% and 8%, of a fine-grain inorganic additive is set. The invention further relates to an aggregate produced according to this method, and to asphalt or concrete.

Abstract: A vibrating plate serving as a tamping device comprises an upper mass (1) equipped with a drive and comprises at least two lower masses (2a, 2b), which are coupled to the upper mass (1) while being able to oscillate relative to the upper mass (1). Each of the lower masses (2a; 2b) comprises a soil contacting plate (6) and at least one oscillator (7) assigned to this soil contacting plate (6). The oscillators (7) can be controlled differently so that, in addition to an advancing and compacting action, a turning moment can be executed about a vertical axis (Z).

Abstract: A vibration plate with a top mass and a bottom mass has, in addition to a spring device, a stabilizing device with which the bottom mass can be guided during its movement relative to the top mass. The stabilizing device has a transverse stabilizer which prevents tilting between the top mass and the bottom mass. The stabilizing device may likewise be formed by one or more Panhard rods, which prevent a transverse displacement between the top mass and the bottom mass.

Abstract: The memory device has a selection device which, when required, ensures that backup memory cells or backup memory cell areas are used instead of memory cells or memory cell areas which cannot be written to or read from properly. Information about the location of the memory cells which are possibly not to be used is actually supplied to the selection device at an instant at which it is not yet definite whether memory cells need to be replaced.
