Abstract: Disclosed is a system for determining usage-based transactions from at least one licensee to at least one licensor using smart contracts and at least one electronic commodity in a distributed ledger arrangement. A server arrangement is operable to receive at least a first usage information of an electronic commodity associated with a licensee, store the usage information in the distributed ledger arrangement, identify at least one smart contract relating to the commodity comprising licensing information and terms relating to usage of the commodity from the distributed ledger arrangement, trigger at least one smart contract based on the usage information stored in the distributed ledger arrangement to determine the usage-based transactions, to be executed, and provide information related to the usage-based transactions on at least one licensee device and at least one licensor device.

Abstract: A system for coating articles which includes a coating booth, a conveyor system, which guides the articles through the coating booth, and at least one application unit, which is carried and guided by a handling device. A central supply unit having a tank for storing CO2 in liquid or solid form and which is able to remove CO2 from the tank and supply it at a suitable pressure to a collecting line connected to at least one cleaning apparatus, which includes at least one nozzle of suitable design for delivering CO2 for cleaning purposes. Under program control a relative movement between the nozzle and the application unit is induced, such that all surfaces of the application unit to be cleaned can be reached by CO2.

Abstract: In a method for determining the temperature of a wheel-braking device of a brake system, the current disc temperature of the brake disc is determined based on the last-determined disc temperature, the energy supplied to the brake disc since the last temperature determination, and the energy discharged by the brake disc since the last temperature determination. The current caliper temperature of the brake caliper of the wheel-braking device is determined by means of the current disc temperature of the brake disc.

Abstract: A system for a motor vehicle has a motor vehicle gearbox by means of which a reversal of the direction of travel can be initiated, a vehicle brake unit which is separate from the motor vehicle gearbox, and a control unit. When there is a reversal of the direction of travel from at least one first direction into a second direction when there is still a positive vehicle velocity in the first direction, the control unit generates a braking torque which reduces the vehicle velocity, by means of an actuation unit and by means of the vehicle brake unit. The actual direction of travel of the motor vehicle is determined here by means of a sensor unit.

Abstract: In an automatic discrete step gearbox of a motor vehicle, the working pressure of a frictional connection (clutch or brake) to be engaged is set at the beginning of a gear-change by an electronic control unit in accordance with a specified required value variation and additionally as a function of correction values. The correction values are determined as a function of deviations between the required transmission torque value and the actual transmission torque value of the frictional connection.

Abstract: A method for the control of a gear change of an automatic discrete step gearbox of a motor vehicle superimposes a regulation of the gearbox input rotational speed during a rotational speed adaptation phase on a control of the transmission torque of a frictional connection. A required deceleration value is specified as a function of a deceleration torque to be brought about by the frictional connection.

Abstract: A pressure supply to an automatic selector device of a change-speed gearbox, controls working pressure via a multi-path valve device. The working pressure is supplied either only to clutch actuators of two drive clutches located in the force path before the change-speed gearbox or to selector actuators for the actuation of selector clutches producing the force path within the change-speed gearbox. The clutch actuator of one drive clutch is subjected to a load-dependent main pressure in the latter case.

Abstract: An axial piston-type servomotor uses control connections on the working cylinder and corresponding control edges on the working piston, together with selector valve apparatus for controlling the working piston into a central stroke position.

Abstract: A method for the automatic shifting of a multi-path toothed-wheel gear change box between two gears which are formed in a first gearbox subunit temporarily engages a middle gear formed in a second, parallel gearbox subunit. It is simultaneously ensured, by control of the working pressures for actuating the power-shift clutches connecting the gearbox subunits to the input shaft, that the speed characteristic of the input shaft shifting is essentially steady without remaining at the middle gear speed value.
