Abstract: A method for transmitting data in a sensor bus system and a sensor bus system. The sensor bus system includes an electronic controller, a plurality of sensors, and a twisted two-wire line between the electronic controller and the sensors, wherein the electronic controller is designed to supply electrical energy to the sensors via the twisted two-wire line, and the sensors are designed to transmit received information to the electronic controller in an I/Q-modulated manner via the twisted two-wire line.

Abstract: A bus station, a two-wire bus system, and methods for transmitting data in a two-wire bus system. The method includes: supplying a variable battery voltage to a first bus station and a second bus station, and transmitting data from the first bus station to the second bus station using a modulation signal that is superposed on the variable battery voltage, wherein the modulation signal is adjusted to follow a level of the variable battery voltage in a predefined manner.

Abstract: A sensor assembly of a vehicle. The sensor includes a control device, a multitude of sensors, each sensor having an individual sensor identifier, a data bus, which connects each sensor to the control device, and a supply line, which connects each sensor to the control device for a voltage supply. Each sensor has a shunt resistor. All shunt resistors are integrated in series into the supply line. Each sensor is developed to detect a voltage drop at its respective shunt resistor. The control device is developed to actuate each sensor with the aid of the individual sensor identifier and to assign an individual geographical address to each sensor based on the detected voltage drops along the supply line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining correlations between text or text-derived data and numerical data. Specifically the present invention relates to determining correlation(s) between text-derived and numerical data in order to generate estimated numerical data using the determined correlation(s) for specific text-derived data. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a method for estimating numerical data using historical numerical data and historical text-derived data. Aspects and/or embodiments also seek to determine a correlation between the historical numerical data and historical text-derived data for use in generating the estimated numerical data using text-derived data, optionally to identify relevant trends in text-derived data that can be used to generate estimated/predicted numerical data, and optionally in order to train a computer implemented model to generate estimates of numerical data for given text-derived data.

Abstract: Fodder and fodder additives promoting the weight increase of domestic animals, and a process for the use thereof. The fodder and fodder additives of the invention contain stable complexes of titanium formed with ascorbic acid, o-dihydroxybenzene, dihydroxy naphthalene disulfonic acids, hydroxy carboxylic acids or polyhydroxy carboxylic acids or the salts thereof, preferably in a quantity of 0.001-6.00 percent by weight of the whole. Optionally, compounds exerting a preserving effect, preferably in a quantity of 0.01-2.0 percent by weight of the titanium complex, can be added, besides the usual components and additives of the fodder. The fodder and fodder additives of the invention promote the weight increase of domestic animals and reduce the specific fodder consumption.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved method for the preparation of a 2',6'-dialkyl-N-alkoxymethyl-2-chloro-acetanilide compound of the general formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are identical or different and stand for straight-chained or branched C.sub.1-4 alkyl groups.According to the invention a dialkyl aniline of the general formula (II), ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, is treated with aqueous formaldehyde solution in an apolar solvent at a temperature of 30.degree. to 80.degree. C., the solution of the resulting oxymethyl derivative formed with said apolar solvent is separated from the aqueous formaldehyde solution at an elevated temperature and then dehydrated, the resulting azomethine derivative is reacted with chloroacetyl chloride in the same apolar solvent medium, the resulting chloromethyl compound is reacted with an alcohol of the general formula (V),R.sub.3 -OH (V)wherein R.sub.
