Abstract: A method and program that improves the efficiency of menu tree visualization and navigation in graphical user interfaces. Menu items are displayed as call-out shaped objects each made up of a call-out bubble and its leading arm. The leading arm connects the call-out bubble with the higher level menu item, the context-menu reference point or any other reference point on the user-interface screen. Menu lists are displayed as sets of similar-sized call-out shapes, which can be arranged in a variety of ways. A menu item can be selected by selecting either the leading arm or the call-out bubble of a call-out shape. The selection of a menu item through the selection of its leading arm significantly reduces the distance over which the pointer has to be moved for menu tree navigation. This is because the leading arm of each of the call-out shapes in any menu item list is close to the pointer's position immediately following the preceding selection process.

Abstract: A sensor device includes an outer casing, a first sensor module and a second sensor module. The outer casing encloses the first sensor module and the second sensor module at least partially. The first sensor module is enclosed at least partially by a first medium, and the second sensor module is enclosed at least partially by a second medium.

Abstract: A sensor, a sensor component and a method for manufacturing a sensor are provided, in which sensors for measuring absolute values are inserted into cost-effective and technically simple plastic housings of the usual construction type, without having negative effects on the long-term stability of the absolute measuring values supplied by such sensors. In particular, parameter drifts and offsets in the parameters are induced by arranging a sensor element above an application-specific semiconductor element which evaluates the sensor's signals, and is connected to it via a flip-chip connection. Mechanical, thermal and moisture stresses are prevented and compensated for by introducing a suitable quantity of gel into the plastic housing.

Abstract: A micromechanical pressure sensor element, in particular for tire pressure measurement. The device has at least: a layer system having a diaphragm underneath which a cavity is formed, which is separated from an external space outside the pressure sensor element; a measuring device for measuring a deflection of the diaphragm; and a seismic mass formed on, underneath, or in the diaphragm. Furthermore, in a method for using such a pressure sensor element, the pressure sensor element is operatable in a sleep mode having lower power consumption and in an operating mode having higher power consumption; in the sleep mode a change in the measuring signals of the measuring device over time is checked, and if a relevant change in the measuring signals is detected, a position change is inferred and a switchover to the operating mode is performed, in which the measuring signals of the measuring device or the analysis signals formed from the measuring signals are transmitted via a transmitter, for example, an antenna.

Abstract: In order to implement two different sensitivities simultaneously in one component, in particular in an acceleration sensor having a substrate, at least one spring device, and at least one seismic mass, it is proposed that the spring device be designed for an intrinsically nonlinear behavior corresponding to a progressive spring characteristic curve, in which a greater acceleration is associated at least locally with a greater rigidity (spring constant).

Abstract: A method for transmitting data from at least one sensor to a control unit via an appropriate two-wire line is described. The method is used to identify any sensor at the control unit and to implement a plurality of logical channels via the appropriate two-wire line. The at least one sensor receives the necessary electrical energy from the control unit via the two-wire line and then transmits the sensor-specific data.

Abstract: The biocatalytic production of a peptide is carried out with a zymogen instead of the customarily used protease. Since zymogens are proteolytically inactive precursors of proteases, proteolytic side reactions are largely suppressed. Preferably, amino acid esters or peptide esters and C-terminally derivatized amino acids or peptide fragments are coupled to each other. The reaction can also take place in a frozen, aqueous medium. In particular, chymotrypsinogen, trypsinogen, pepsinogen, prorennin or procarboxypeptidase are suitable as zymogens.
