  • Patent number: 8090495
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-based diagnostic tester which can exchange information with the control devices installed in the motor vehicle using a diagnostic program via a diagnostic interface and via data lines. A method for improved checking of repairs is also presented with the diagnostic tester. The motor vehicle-mounted control devices have program routines for self-diagnostics of the control devices and are capable of storing identified faults in the form of fault codes in reserved memory areas. The diagnostic program which is implemented in the diagnostic tester reads the fault codes out from the reserved memory areas, interprets the fault codes and displays them on a display together with the interpretations. In order to check to what extent repairs which have been performed have been successfully concluded, status polling is carried out using the diagnostic program implemented in the diagnostic tester.

  • Patent number: 7964255
    Abstract: A heat-shrinkable multilayer material for packaging, in particular food packaging, comprises a first layer made of heat-shrinkable material, a microwave susceptible material covering at least a part of the first layer, at least one second layer made of shrinkable or non-shrinkable material, the first and second layer can be connected to each other by embedding the microwave susceptible material, wherein the microwave susceptible material is arranged in a pattern between the first and second layer, the pattern creating areas of increased stiffness within the multilayer material when microwave energy is applied onto.

  • Patent number: 7856299
    Abstract: The solution is arrived at with a computer-based diagnostic tester which can exchange information with the control devices installed in the motor vehicle using a diagnostic program via a diagnostic interface and via data lines. The motor vehicle-mounted control devices have program routines for self-diagnostics of the control devices and are capable of storing identified faults in the form of fault codes in reserved memory areas. The diagnostic program which is implemented in the diagnostic tester reads the fault codes out from the reserved memory areas, interprets the fault codes and displays them on a display together with the interpretations. In order to check to what extent repairs which have been performed have been successfully concluded, status polling is carried out using the diagnostic program implemented in the diagnostic tester. During this status polling, the status information of all the fault codes known in the system is interrogated and evaluated.
