Abstract: Disclosed is a threshold voltage-programmable field effect transistor-based (e.g., a ferro-electric field effect transistor (FeFET)-based) memory circuit employing source-line and/or bit-line-applied variable programming assist voltages. For single-bit data storage in a FeFET, decremental programming assist voltages are selectively applied by a voltage driver to the source-line and/or the bit-line connected to a FeFET during repeat programming processes when previous attempts at programming have failed. For multi-bit data storage in a FeFET, different programming assist voltages are associated with different multi-bit data values and at least one specific programming assist voltage is applied by a voltage driver to the source-line and/or the bit-line connected to a selected FeFET during a programming process to achieve storage of a specific multi-bit data value. Optionally, multiple FeFETs in the same row can be currently programmed with different multi-bit data values.

Abstract: A sensor for checking value documents, an apparatus with the sensor, and a method for operating the sensor. Neither the software that the sensor executes for checking the value documents nor the adaptation data that the sensor employs for checking the value documents are stored permanently in the sensor itself. The sensor is set up for the software as well as the adaptation data to be loaded into the sensor from outside the sensor. The sensor can be employed for checking value documents only when a data carrier is connected to the sensor, and the data carrier has license data stored thereon through which a license for the employment of the software and/or of the adaptation data is supplied to the sensor.

Abstract: A system includes execution of a software application based on metadata defining a first plurality of software components, reception of second metadata defining the first plurality of software components, determination, based on the second metadata, of a second plurality of the first plurality of software components for which the second metadata is different from the first metadata, and for which the second metadata is associated with elements of the software application, and generation of the elements of the software application based on the second metadata of the second plurality of software components.

Abstract: A sheet-shaped document of value (BN) has luminescent feature substances (20, 21). Preferably, one luminescent feature substance is present over the entire sheet-shaped document and has a low concentration, whereas a second luminescent feature substance is present at certain partial areas and has a higher concentration.

Abstract: In a method for assessing a condition of at least one value document with regard to limpness, there is determined from transmission values representing the ultrasound transmission at different places on the value document a condition value which depends on a variation of the transmission values and characterizes the condition of the value document with regard to limpness. A condition of the value document is determined for the condition value using a preset criterion.

Abstract: An apparatus for checking the authenticity of bank notes in unprotected areas, has a sensor assembly containing a light source which produces light of a first wavelength with which the bank notes to be checked are illuminated; whereupon one or more feature substances present in and/or on the bank notes produces light of a second wavelength which is detected by the sensor assembly. A control device evaluates data from the sensor assembly about the light of the second wavelength and compares them with reference data to determine the authenticity of the bank notes. The structure and operation of the sensor assembly and/or the control device permit conclusions to be drawn only with difficulty on the feature substance or substances contained in the bank notes.

Abstract: A client may receive first content data and second content data from a server over a communication channel. The first content data may be configured to cause a first window to be displayed on the client. The first window may comprise at least one user selectable element configured to prompt, when selected, the second content data to cause a second window to be displayed on the client. Furthermore, input data entered in the second window may be transmitted from the client to the server, over the same communication channel used to receive the first and second content data.

Abstract: A method for identifying suspected counterfeit and/or counterfeit banknotes paid into an automatic teller machine, wherein banknotes to be paid in are checked for authenticity on the basis of data from a sensor device. The identification is achieved by linking data from the sensor device concerning the suspected counterfeit and/or counterfeit banknotes to an identity of a payer. The method also includes storing the data concerning the suspected counterfeit and/or counterfeit banknotes and the identity of the payer, and generating checking data for the suspected counterfeit and/or counterfeit banknotes by means of the sensor device or a sensor device similar to the sensor device.

Abstract: A device, such as a personal digital assistant, Internet enabled phone, handheld computer, laptop computer or desktop computer, being capable of running business applications online or offline and of synchronizing data related to such applications with a central computer system. The device also being able to receive deployed software and install it and to deinstall unwanted software automatically.

Abstract: The invention relates to a continuously variable transmission with two driving modes designed as split power transmission comprising a power branch in the form of a variator with a continuously adjustable rotational speed and a mechanical power branch. The mechanical power branch and the variator are coupled in the first driving mode with a compound gear. The mechanical power branch is opened in the second driving mode and the total power is directly transmitted by the variator. Both driving modes can be switched by clutches K1 and K2 and can be optionally connected to the transmission input shaft (1) by means of a clutch Kv for forward drive and via a clutch Kr for reverse drive. The clutches Kv and Kr are designed as a twin clutch which acts as a start clutch and as a reverse unit.
