Abstract: In a method for determining the state of charge of rechargeable batteries by integration of the amounts of current flowing during charging and discharging, a first state of charge value LZA is determined by continuous integration of the rechargeable battery current. A second state of charge value LZB is determined by measurement of the no-load voltage U0 after receiving or supplying a defined amount of charge Q which is sufficient in order to leave the region of the mixed potential of the electrodes and to reach a no-load voltage of the rechargeable battery, and by comparison of this measured no-load voltage U0 with empirically determined no-load voltage characteristics for the rechargeable battery.

Abstract: For fast ethernet switches, a modular and scalable structure using programmable one-port communication modules is disclosed. The forwarding process is sequential and operates in a store-and-forward mode. The design follows a strictly predictable scheme. The forwarding process, the distribution logic, maximum latency and programmable functions, i.e. traffic monitoring capabilities, traffic filtering/policing capabilities and network management function capabilities are described and explained with reference to typical examples.

Abstract: A method for detecting rollover occurrences in a motor vehicle and activating appropriate restraining devices, the rate of rotation of the vehicle about at least one axis of rotation, in particular its longitudinal axis and/or its transverse axis, being measured with the aid of at least one rotation-rate sensor, and evaluated. The translational acceleration of the vehicle is considered in evaluating the rotation-rate sensor signal, in order to prevent malfunctions of the rotation-rate sensor caused by extreme translational accelerations from erroneously triggering restraining devices for a rollover event.

Abstract: A dental device having at least one pneumatically operable handpiece, the rotational speed of which can be influenced by a control element designed as a foot-operated switch, and a further handpiece, which can be driven by means of an electric drive, and the compressed air present at the pneumatic handpiece influences the control of the electric drive. A graduated filter is mounted on a pneumatically actuated hollow body and the graduated filter has regions thereon which can be sensed by a light barrier generating an electric signal in dependence on the properties of the regions.

Abstract: A gear drive mechanism with two rotary gears meshing with each other has a first friction rim surface rotationally coupled to one of the two gears and a second friction rim surface rotationally coupled to the other of the two gears. The friction rim surfaces are in mutual contact with each other and thereby enabled to transmit a friction-based torque between each other.

The cutting blade is brought into the optimum start-of-cut position in good time before each cut.

Abstract: A bearing assembly including a bearing having an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring. The outer bearing ring is axially received in a bearing-receiving recess that includes a substantially cylindrical inner wall.
