Abstract: A method and apparatus for joining using friction and current, wherein the friction/current joining apparatus includes a friction device, a forging device, an electrical current source, and a programmable controller, as well as workpiece holders for the workpieces to be joined. The friction/current joining apparatus is controlled such that, in a contacting phase, the workpieces are initially moved along a process axis, and their mutually facing joining surfaces oriented transverse to a common process axis are brought into contact. In a grinding phase, while subjected to contact pressure by mutual relative movement, the joining surfaces, are ground together and made smooth.

Abstract: A gas pressure spring is provided including a working piston which is guided displaceably in a working cylinder along a stroke axis, a compensating cylinder encloses the working cylinder, and a compensating piston which is of hollow-cylindrical shape and is guided displaceably in the compensating cylinder along the stroke axis. The working cylinder has an open end, at which the compensating cylinder forms a projection beyond the working cylinder with a closed end. The compensating piston separates a working chamber, which is arranged in the working cylinder, a compensating chamber, which is arranged between the working cylinder and the compensating cylinder, and a restoring chamber, which is arranged in the projection from one another. A distance, radially with respect to the stroke axis, of the compensating cylinder from the working cylinder is greater in the stroke range than in an end region of the working cylinder.

Abstract: An electric side door drive assembly for a vehicle having a length-adjustable electric actuator to bring about opening and closing of the side door, and a door movement sensor unit designed to detect stopping and a current position of the side door during opening or closing of the side door. In the event of stopping of the side door detected by the door movement sensor unit, a controller determines, on the basis of side door position data provided by the door movement sensor unit, a necessary current strength which is to be supplied to the electric motor to hold the side door in its current position, and to deliver the necessary current strength to the motor of the actuator for a holding operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for communicating multi-level signals are described. A first device may be configured to communicate signals with a second device according to a modulation scheme. The first device may transmit a first signal to the second device at a first voltage level of the modulation scheme corresponding to a first multi-bit value. The first device may select a second voltage level of the modulation scheme based on a difference between the first voltage level and a third voltage level of the PAM scheme, and may transmit a second signal to the second device at the second voltage level to indicate a second multi-bit value corresponding to the third voltage level. The second device may decode the second signal to determine the second multi-bit value based on receiving the first signal at the first voltage level and the second signal at the second voltage level.
