Abstract: A method and a device for inspecting the quality of a formed thermoplastic fiber-reinforced plastic component wherein the component is tested by means of a sensor unit with a downstream electronic evaluation unit for analysis of the measuring result acquired by sensor technology by means of sample comparison, wherein by means of the optical sensor unit the surface roughness of the plastic component is measured after forming, which surface roughness is analyzed by means of the evaluation unit by a comparison with a stored reference pattern in such a manner that increased surface roughness is interpreted as increased internal materials porosity.

Abstract: A method, including executing instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage media using at least one processor, may include loading a component from a repository in a first user interface, notifying a second user interface that the component is loaded in the first user interface, performing one or more checks on the component using a check engine and generating one or more check results, storing the check results in a buffer and displaying the check results in the second user interface. The first user interface, the second user interface, the buffer and the check engine may be integrated modules of a single application.

Abstract: A device for measurement of a thickness of a coating applied to a substrate includes a transmitter/receiver module configured to transmit and receive microwave radiation; a computing unit; and a probe having a flange and an inner and an outer conductor, wherein the outer conductor coaxially surrounds the inner conductor, and wherein the inner conductor includes at least one thickened section.

Abstract: An electrode guide and a method for the spark-erosion of workpieces are disclosed. The electrode guide (1), consisting of a two-piece prism-shaped (2, 3) guide with a pretensioning device (6), enables an electrode (4) to be guided in a play-free manner, thus allowing the production of bores that is accurate to within 1 ?m. A pivoting device (10) for pivoting the electrode guide and an alignment device (14) for the parallel displacement of the electrode guide (1) are also provided, enabling the production of conical bores.

Abstract: An electronic device has two parts than can be opened and closed. A speaker is located in one body part and a sensor, located in the other, detects when the body parts are closed by sensing the magnetic field of the speaker.

Abstract: The invention relates to a Bowden tube window winder with compensation for cable length, which also compensates using simple means for a comparatively high level of cable elongation without excessive twisting of the cable loop. Said Bowden tube window winder is characterised in that a common locking member (10) is associated with the cable sockets and links the force of the two cable sockets (110) with the result that a movement to compensate for play of at least one cable socket can only occur when both cable sockets are substantially unloaded.

Abstract: A manual passive continuous action quick adjustment device for adjusting elements in or on motor vehicles without a separate drive unit comprises a worm rotatably disposed within a housing. The worm comprises a locking region that is configured to engage a locking element disposed within the housing. The worm comprises a toothed section that is threadably engaged with a toothed section of an oppositely oriented toothed segment lever that is connected to the particular device requiring adjustment. The locking region may comprise a circumferential groove near an end portion of the worm and the locking element may comprise a slide configured to accommodate frictional engagement with the groove. The locking region may comprise the front faces of the toothed section of the worm frictionally engaged by a slide. A second locking region may comprise front faces adjacent to ends of the worm frictionally engaged by edge portions of the housing upon radial displacement of the worm by activation of the slide.

Abstract: A displacement device for use with windows and sliding roof for motor vehicles includes a toothed rack disposed within the vehicle in a direction parallel to the displacement direction. A motor-gear housing is positioned adjacent the toothed rack and includes an electrical driver, a central shaft positioned perpendicular to the rack, and a pinion gear on the shaft that is engaged with the toothed portion of the rack. The rack and housing include guide surfaces that are positioned to correspond with one another. A guidance element is attached to the housing and the rack is interposed between the guide surfaces of the housing and the guidance element to control and guide the movement of the housing vis-a-vis the rack during activation of the electrical drive. Attachments extend from the housing and are configured to accommodate placement of an edge portion of a window therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fastening a window of a motor vehicle in the guide device of a window lifter, consisting of retaining legs disposed on opposite sides of the lower area of the window, at least one of said retaining legs having an opening which can be engaged by a connecting element for retaining the window, wherein at least one upper part of at least one retaining leg is embodied to be resilient and supports an insertion section oriented in the direction of the lower edge of the window and essentially extending parallel with it. One feature of the invention is that the opening can comprise two cutouts, instead of one, in order to reduce the number of variations of catches required for use with window lifters. Another feature of the invention is that a connecting element for retaining the window in the guide device of a window lifter is already connected with the window prior to the window's insertion into the gap between the retaining legs.
