Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a gearwheel, a gearwheel blank is clamped in a workholder of a multi-axis machine tool. A milling head is clamped in a tool holder which is rotated by a spindle drive to enable the milling head to mill out tooth spaces of the gearwheel blank to thereby create a gearwheel having teeth. After replacing the milling head in the tool holder with an inductor, the inductor is inserted successively between two adjacent teeth of the gearwheel and supplied with alternating current from a current supply device of the spindle drive to inductively heat at least one of the two adjacent teeth. The inductor in the tool holder is then replaced with a machining tool to remachine the teeth of the gearwheel.

Abstract: A method is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method includes providing a system specification of the system; deriving a number N1 of base patterns dependent on the system specification, a base pattern representing at least one service and having a number N2 of parameterisable events and a parameterisable control section representing a control flow and/or a data flow between the events; selecting a number N3, wherein N3?N1, of base patterns and providing a control structure representing a control flow and/or a data flow between the selected base patterns dependent on an event trace expected as a result of the system run; and providing the reference data having at least the selected base patterns and the provided control structure.

Abstract: Apparatus for adjusting pitch angle of propeller blades of a variable-pitch propeller. The blades being adjustable in a first blade pitch-angle range with positive pitch angles, in a second blade pitch-angle range, and in a third blade pitch-angle range with negative pitch angles. The second blade pitch-angle range is an intermediate range located between the first and the third blade pitch-angle range, which includes the pitch-angle range where blade drag is a minimum, and ranges of positive pitch angles with low thrust and of negative pitch angles with low reverse thrust. The apparatus provides adjustment of the propeller blades from the first to the third blade pitch-angle range and vice versa, and is designed to be operated so that at least a first group of propeller blades can be rotated through the second blade pitch-angle range, while propeller blades in another group are in a positive blade pitch-angle range.

Abstract: An adjusting apparatus (9) for adjusting the pitch angle of propeller blades (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) of a variable-pitch propeller • in a first blade pitch-angle range with positive pitch angles at which the propeller blades (10) produce thrust, • in a second blade pitch-angle range, • in a third blade pitch-angle range with negative pitch angles, at which the propeller blades produce reverse thrust with the propeller rotating in the same direction, with the second blade pitch-angle range being a pitch-angle intermediate range located between the first and the second blade pitch-angle range, which includes the pitch-angle range in which the blade drag is a minimum, as well as a range of positive pitch angles with low thrust and a range of negative pitch angles with low reverse thrust, and with the adjusting apparatus being able to provide adjustment of the propeller blades (1, 2, . . .

Abstract: A device for spectroscopy using charged analytes has an electron generator, which sends electrons through membrane into a charging chamber. The thermal strain of the membrane may be lowered significantly if a material is selected for the membrane which contains at least one component from the group of oxides, nitrides, and carbides with at least one of the elements B, Al, C, Si, and Ti or polysilicon.

Abstract: To analyze a complex, parallel system a runtime log is generated in XML or converted to XML after generation. This runtime log is examined for properties of the system. Interesting properties are described with XSLT resources. The XSLT resources are used to filter and display the analysis results visually.

Abstract: Excimers are generated by directing an electron beam at about 5 KeV to about 40 KeV into an excimer forming gas such as He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe or mixtures of these with other gases through a ceramic foil such as SiNx. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light is emitted by the excimers or by other species in contact therewith. The invention can provide intense, continuously operable broadband or monochromatic VUV light sources.
