Abstract: A method for calibrating a metal profile blank configured as a hollow-chamber profile having at least one solid wall. A pressing tool is closed in a main direction about one end region of an element of the profile blank until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against a pair of surfaces of the profile blank to be calibrated, deforming and bending the at least one end region of the element. The pressing tool is closed in a secondary direction perpendicular to the main direction until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against surfaces of the at least one end region, and wedge-like limbs of a drive element of the pressing tool engage wedge-like dies of the pressing tool. The pressing tool is closed further in the secondary direction, subjecting the profile blank to plastic deformation so as to reduce or eliminate the bending of the end region.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a bulkhead of a motor vehicle body and method for the manufacture of bulkheads of motor vehicle bodies of different types of motor vehicles. The front wheel arches of the motor vehicle body are at least partly formed by the bulkhead of the motor vehicle. A component with a spatial structure is manufactured from a two-dimensional metallic semi-finished product by forming, wherein the component forms at least part of the bulkhead. The component manufactured by the forming forms at least a large part of the bulkhead in relation to the area of the projection of the bulkhead in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and extends at least over sections of both front wheel arches of the motor vehicle body.

Abstract: A method for assembling a motor vehicle body, wherein the motor vehicle body has a front end structure with a bulkhead and a body area arranged in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle behind the bulkhead. The front end structure is pre-assembled separate from the body area before connecting the front end structure to the body area located behind the bulkhead. The separation between the pre-assembled front end structure and the body area is immediately in front of or behind the bulkhead.

Abstract: A motor vehicle body having a lateral part structure, at least partly comprising a pillar outer shell, a pillar inner shell that is connected to the pillar outer shell, and a door hinge reinforcement element that is arranged in an intermediate space between the pillar outer shell and the pillar inner shell. The pillar inner shell and the pillar outer shell are designed such that the intermediate space has an access opening that leads directly to the region of the door hinge reinforcement element when the pillar inner shell and the pillar outer shell are in a state of having been brought together in the final assembly position.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of and a device, such as a base station for a headset, for arranging text items in a predefined order, comprising storing, in the memory of a peripheral device, a collection of multiple text items arranged in multiple sets of text items and in multiple groups of text items; storing a respective code item with a respective group of text items; and storing a sort key that has values that designate a predefined order of the text items in each set. The sort key is appended to the text items and comprises at least one character with a value within the Private Use range of the Unicode format.

Abstract: A method of controlling a communications channel, comprising: receiving a real time digital signal; processing the real time digital signal to provide a control signal; and controlling the base station in response to the control signal. Where the processing comprises in succeeding time slots determining whether predefined signal content is present in the real time digital signal, increasing or decreasing a first value when predefined signal content is present and, respectively, decreasing or increasing the first value when predefined signal content is not present, and changing the control signal when the first value reaches a first target value. The method also relates to controlling a base station for a headset, where the base station and headset communicates via a wireless connection and where the base station communicates with a PC via a wired interface e.g. a USB interface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating access to a scarce resource. A load of each flow on the resource is calculated. The aggregate load is compared to a maximum steady state load. A drop policy is established responsive to the comparison. The drop policy is applied to the flows at an input interface of the device.

Abstract: In a device for biological fluid treatment, fluid is led along surfaces coated with microorganisms, which form parts of disks drivable about a rotation axis. The surfaces are formed by recesses lying in the disks and the disks are arranged to one another such that the leading of the fluid is effected through the recesses, and a recess of one disk is delimited in a channel-forming manner by the adjacent other disk movable relative to this.

Abstract: The device serves for the biological fluid treatment. Fluid is led along surfaces coated with microorganisms, which form parts of disks (19) drivable about their rotation axis, wherein the surfaces are formed by recesses lying in the disks (18, 19), and the disks (18, 19) are arranged to one another such that the leading of the fluid is effected through the recesses, and a recess of one disk (18) is delimited in a channel-forming manner by the adjacent other disk (19) movable relative to this.
