Abstract: A computer-implemented method of monitoring and/or controlling an electro-mechanical device, such as an electrical motor and/or generator, includes determining a first probability distribution of a virtual measurement variable, such as temperature at a predetermined position, of the electro-mechanical device. A confidence level is determined for a first value of the virtual measurement variable based on the first probability distribution. An operating mode of the electro-mechanical device is changed based on the confidence level, and/or an indication is displayed on a display. The indication instructs a user to change the operating mode of the electro-mechanical device.

Abstract: A method for producing an elongated article with a sheath. The sheath is extruded with a predetermined wall thickness in an extrusion unit. Following the extrusion unit in a feeding direction, a part of the still moldable material is built up with the aid of a molding unit during a molding process such that a molded part forms integrally on the sheath. The molding unit is moved according to the following working cycle: the molding unit is accelerated from a starting position in the feeding direction, then it is advanced in the direction of the elongated article and the molded part is formed, the molding unit is withdrawn from the elongated article, and the molding unit is decelerated and moved from an end position, counter to the feeding direction, back in the direction of the starting position.

Abstract: A method for producing an elongated product. By an extrusion unit, a material is extruded onto a core of the elongated product as a casing having a predetermined wall strength. Downstream of the extrusion unit and while the material is still moldable, the elongated product is supplied in a conveying direction to a molding unit. A portion of the material is held by the molding unit and, from the held material, a molded part is formed in an integral manner on the casing. The formation of the molded part is thereby carried out in an advantageous manner, via a deformation of material of the casing.

Abstract: A cable is specified, specifically for a signal line, which extends in a longitudinal direction and which includes an inner conductor and also an outer conductor. Between the inner conductor and the outer conductor there is formed an insulating material which surrounds the inner conductor and which has a surface that has been at least partially carbonized. Furthermore, a production method for such a line is specified.

Abstract: A cable, which extends in a longitudinal direction, has a cable core and a cable jacket. The cable jacket is extruded around the cable core. The cable is distinguished by the fact that the cable jacket has a plurality of chambers and, overall, is designed, in particular, in the manner of a hollow profile, and by the fact that a functional material different from the material of the cable jacket is introduced within at least one of the chambers. The functional material is preferably a flame proofing agent, but numerous other materials and, in general, functional elements are also conceivable. We further describe a method for producing the cable.

Abstract: An electrical cable contains a cable bundle formed by at least two single wires, each containing a conductor surrounded by insulation. An adhesive layer is applied to all single wires, surrounding the insulator in a ring-like manner, via which the single wires are adhered to one another. The cable bundle does not also contain a cable sheath surrounding the cable bundle. The adhesive layer is formed by a reactive coating that is cured after activation so that a thermally stable connection can be achieved. The cable bundle is formed by single wires that are twisted with one another, and which are used, as a data line. This structure, with the adhesive layer, removes the need for a cable sheath so that a more compact structure can be achieved. The form lay length of the cable bundle is fixed, having a positive effect on the transmission characteristics for a data line.

Abstract: An electrical machine, preferably a blower drive mechanism for a motor vehicle, having a shaft which is supported in at least two bearings with a specified axial play; a cylindrical bearing is secured in a bearing seat of an end shield and rests directly on the bearing seat. The cylindrical bearing has a cylindrical outer circumference, and the bearing seat is a sleeve with a cylindrical inside diameter, into which sleeve the cylindrical bearing is secured with a press fit on the outer circumference and is held axially in the bearing seat by the thus-attained frictional engagement. This has the advantage that more-precise adjustment of the longitudinal play of the armature is possible. Moreover, no additional components such as retaining springs are necessary.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling the exhaust temperature for a combustion engine with knock control by varying the air/fuel mixture supplied to the engine as a function of ignition-retard settings to prevent knocking, as are undertaken by a knock-control device, an increasingly retarded ignition (setting) entailing increasing enrichment; the procedure is such that a cylinder-selective enrichment follows in dependence upon the momentary ignition-retard (setting) in a cylinder.

Abstract: A twisted pair of wires is produced by drawing two insulated wires from two supply reels while rotating one wire supply reel about the other. A capstan and tachometer measure the linear rate at which the twisted pair is being drawn. The output of the tachometer is controllably and variably divided and used to control a power inverter that drives a motor which rotates the one wire supply reel about the other. The variable ratio between the linear wire movement and the rotary or twisting movement is controlled by a random generator producing a series of numbers representing length per twist of the twisted pair, between fixed limits.
