Abstract: A method operates a braking device for motor vehicles, in particular for utility vehicles. Along a trailer supply line for supplying air to a parking brake of a trailer and/or a trailer control line for supplying air to an operating brake of a trailer, the air pressure is measured by at least one pressure transducer and is transmitted in the form of an electric signal to an electronic control unit of the motor vehicle. In the event of a faulty pressure change response, an open trailer supply line and/or an open trailer control line is detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for management of software application issues such as software application vulnerabilities or software quality. The method may comprise the steps of receiving software vulnerability data from a plurality of vulnerability scanning systems; automatically generating a unique vulnerability ID for a vulnerability using a plurality attributes of the vulnerability; comparing a current load of vulnerability data with a previous load of vulnerability data and generating a table of deltas; grouping vulnerabilities into a group that can be managed and remediated on a group basis as a unit of work rather than individually; and automatically generating entries in the developer task tracking system for each vulnerability group or individual vulnerabilities for resolution.

Abstract: A fiber-optic current sensor uses a highly-birefringent spun fiber as sensing fiber. The light is fed through a retarder, which is a detuned quarter-wave or half-wave retarder. It is shown that such detuning can be used to compensate for temperature dependencies of the sensing head.

Abstract: In a fiber-optic current sensor, a 22.5° Faraday rotator, which is part of the sensing fiber coil, determines the working point of the sensor. The coil is operated with substantially linearly polarized light or incoherent substantially left and right circularly polarized light waves. In one arrangement, a polarization beam splitter generates two optical signals that vary in anti-phase with changing current. A signal processor determines the current from the two anti-phase signals. Appropriately detuned and oriented fiber-optic half-wave or quarter-wave retarders before the fiber coil are used to reduce or cancel the adverse effects of temperature and bend-induced birefringence on the measurement signal. Moreover, the temperature may be derived from the difference in the bias of the anti-phase signals and may be used to cancel temperature effects in the signal processor.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and computer-implemented method for automatically enrolling and upgrading a buyer into a pre-existing network in order to conduct business with one or more sellers with minimum efforts and consistent quality. The method includes providing to the buyer, via a programmable computer, multiple business models for selection. The method also includes retrieving and sending to the buyer a set of pre-configured business processes to select based on the model chosen by the buyer. The method further includes generating required test cases to validate the selected best business process and tracking and certifying the test cases followed by deploying a live version of the selected best business process.

Abstract: A cladding tube configured for use with nuclear fuels or nuclear feel elements and configured for contact with molten lead or molten lead alloys at up to 800° C. The cladding tube includes a tube including at least one of ferritic/martenisitic steel and austenitic steel. An alloy layer of up to 50 ?m thickness is disposed on a surface of the tube and operable for corrosion resistance. The alloy layer includes 0-25% chromium, 3-15% aluminum and 60-97% iron. A method of making the cladding tube includes the use of a pulsed electron beam to melt the alloy layer on the tube.

Abstract: A test system can be used for testing semiconductor components, with which several different semiconductor component tests can be performed in succession. A test apparatus receives a test result for a first test and a test result for a second test and evaluates whether the test results from the first and second tests are mutually correlated by evaluating whether the test results comprises a pattern determined during a training phase of the system. The test apparatus then determines whether or not the pattern indicates that a further test is to be dispensed with.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for creating a pre-weakened zone in a textile surface structure, in particular a fabric. According to the method, part of the textile material is removed by laser treatment in order to create a predetermined breaking point, for example to allow exit of an airbag. To achieve this, a line of interspaced performations along the pre-weakened zone preferably deviates from the respective distance between the threads. The invention also relates to a method for producing a trim element for a vehicle, in addition to textile surface structures and trim elements that are produced according to the inventive method.

Identification information is received from respective entities. The identification information includes at least the names of respected entities from which the identification information is received. The information received from the entities is stored in records in a first storage resource. The records include information to facilitate the sending documents to the entities.
