Abstract: A cooling unit for cold air generation, in particular for snow-making systems, has a mechanically operating de-icing device which comprises at least one rotary shaft (6), which extends between two tube layers (5) transversely to the refrigerant guide tubes and is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the refrigerant guide tubes (4), and a rotary drive for rotating the rotary shaft (6). The removal elements (16) are designed as rotary elements which are fastened to the rotary shaft (6) and which remove the ice and frost build-up from the refrigerant guide tubes (4) by means of a rotary movement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-aided method for generating a drive cycle for a vehicle which is suitable for simulating a driving operation, in particular a real driving operation. The computer-aided method comprises establishing a state vector of the drive cycle for a current time interval from a past speed curve, providing an acceleration prediction model, determining an acceleration value in consideration of probabilities resulting from the acceleration prediction model and the state vector, integrating the determined acceleration value over the current time interval in order to obtain a predicted speed value for a next future time interval, and appending the predicted speed value to the past speed curve in order to generate the drive cycle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multicore processor and a method for dynamically adjusting a supply voltage and a clock frequency, with which an individual supply voltage and dock frequency adjustment, which depends on a current computing load, is facilitated for each processor core of a multicore processor. Thus, an assembly is disclosed where a local queue memory unit which is connected to the processor core, the internal memory unit, and the level converter is arranged in a voltage-variable region of the processor element in order to store events to be processed by the processor core. The invention is also directed to a method in that the required supply voltage U and the required clock frequency f are adjusted for each cycle in a controlled manner by the processor core of the respective processor element depending on the detection of a number of events to be processed which are stored in an internal queue memory unit.

Abstract: A method of heating a thermoplastic board by heat conduction in a heating system which has at least a first surface contacting tool and a second surface containing tool spaced from the first tool, at least one of which is heatable. The thermoplastic board is placed into the heating system between the two surface contacting tools, with an auxiliary sheet being placed between the contact surface of the respective heatable surface contacting tool and the surface of the thermoplastic board facing it. The space between the two surface contacting tools is then reduced to a predefined gap measurement, and the heatable surface contacting tool or tools is heated.
