Abstract: A sheath for an elongated object is made by first combining an adhesive tape comprised of a substrate strip and a first adhesive coating at least partially covering the substrate strip with an adhesive-free band to form a laminate. Then the substrate strip and the band are overlapped at least largely such that, at the overlap, the first adhesive coating is between the substrate strip and the band. Finally the first adhesive coating is formed at the overlap between the substrate strip and the band of a plurality of spaced adhesive substrips.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a method of making a wrapping for an elongated object (1). An adhesive tape (2, 3) comprised of a substrate strip (2) and an adhesive coating (3) at least partially covering the substrate strip (2) is combined with an adhesive-free band (4) to form a laminate (2, 3, 4). The substrate strip (2) and the band (4) at least largely overlap, and at the overlap (U), the first adhesive coating (3) is between the substrate strip (2) and the band (4). According to the invention the first adhesive coating (3) at the overlap (U) between the substrate strip (2) and the band (4) is composed of a plurality of spaced adhesive substrips (3).

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a method for the production of a cladding (1) for elongated material (2), in particular a sheath for cable sets. In this context, two adhesive tapes (3, 4) that are provided at least on one side with an adhesive coating (3) are axially spaced apart from one another by means of a carrier tape (5) are joined to form a laminate (3, 4, 5). For this purpose, both adhesive tapes (3, 4) arc each joined, on the side thereof with the adhesive coating, with the carrier tape (5), in the longitudinal direction, while defining a free region (6) limited by both adhesive tapes (3, 4). According to the invention, the carrier tape (5) is configured free of adhesive coating and is only provided with an own adhesive coating (7) at least in the free region (6) after the laminate (3, 4, 5) has been produced.

Abstract: Methods and systems to simulated a plurality of airline information systems (AISs) to test an AIS under test (AISUT), including to send and receive messages between the simulated AISs, and to send messages to and receive messages from the AISUT, in accordance with communication parameters associated with the corresponding AISs and AISUT. The AISUT and/or the simulated AISs may be stimulated to cause interaction with the AISUT, and resultant messages and information may be recorded. Stimulation may include controlling a web browser to interact with a web application of the AISUT. AISs may be represented as travel system objects, which may be associated with corresponding AIS-specific message handling and reporting parameters. Message processing logic may be configured to process messages, such as booking request messages, directed to a plurality of the simulated AISs, and the travel systems and the message processing logic may be modifiable independent of one another.

Abstract: A system that uses an object to relational database mapping infrastructure to map C++ objects and their relationships to and from a relational database. The mapping is facilitated by mapping files which describe an object and how the object corresponds to a table in the database. Overflow tables are provided in the database when an object is associated with more than a predetermined number of other objects, such as two. A C++ reflection layer allows access to attributes and methods of C++ objects at run-time by name. Mapped data is also memory buffered during the transferring of data to and from the database.
