Abstract: A vehicle electrical system is equipped with a DC charging connection, a rechargeable battery, a first DC-DC converter and an electrical drive. The first DC-DC converter has a first side. This is connected to a connecting point via a first switch. The first DC-DC converter has a second side to which the electrical drive is connected. The second side is connected to the rechargeable battery via a second switch and via a connecting point or is connected to the rechargeable battery directly. The vehicle electrical system has a second DC-DC converter. This is connected to one side of the first switch.

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: According to some embodiments, a business service provider may associate a user interface floor plan with a plurality of reuse components, each reuse component being adapted to be used with multiple user interface floor plans. For example, a second reuse component may be embedded within a first reuse component. In this case, an end user adaptation to the second reuse component may be received and the system may automatically store, within the first reuse component, a context dependent reference to the second reuse component associated with the end user adaptation.

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 shaping device and a method of forming rounded tips on the ends of sausages and of tying off and/or parting into individual portions a continuously produced sausage skein filled with paste material, with two oppositely located displacement assemblies, which move towards one another and between which the filled sausage skein can be moved in the transport direction, wherein the displacement assemblies are formed such that two opening sections are formed, which widen out in the transport direction, respectively opposite the transport direction, in a tying off and/or parting position between the two displacement assemblies.

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.
