Abstract: A press for pressing a material to form a structural component comprises at least one revolving press band and a control for controlling the course of the press band. The control is preferably carried out via rotating rods that engage the press band and that can be tilted at a convenient angle for the purposes of varying the direction of travel of the press band. According to the method, the band of the press can be controlled by appropriately tilting the rotating rods.

Abstract: The invention relates to a press for pressing a material to give a structural component. Said press comprises at least one revolving press band (1) and control means which control the course of the press band. The control is preferably carried out via rotating rods (3) that adjoin the press band (1) and that can be tilted at an convenient angle for the purpose of control. In comparison to conventional presses, the products obtained by means of the inventive press have improved quality. According to the inventive method, the band of a press can be controlled by appropriately tilting the rotating rods (3).

Abstract: A method and apparatus provides for exponentiation of large binary numbers in a residue class modulo N, particularly for encoding and decoding digitally-represented messages, in which the exponentiation comprises repeated scoring/multiplication cycles with a residue formation. The method provides that, respectively, one squaring/multiplication operation and one residue formation operation are executed nearly time-parallel and that the respective residue formation is undertaken by multiplication with a determined matrix.
