Abstract: A valve device for controlling or metering a fluid includes a housing, a flow duct formed in the housing, and a valve body arranged in the flow duct. The valve body has a sealing section which, when the valve device is closed, rests on a sealing seat on the housing. The sealing section and sealing seat together form a sealing region. When the valve device is closed, a decay chamber is defined immediately upstream of the sealing region in the flow duct. The decay chamber is bounded by a baffle wall that is tilted with respect to the normal to the sealing region at an angle of at most 15° in the flow direction to 60° counter to the flow direction.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuable rate control valve for controlling a delivery rate of a high-pressure pump includes an electromagnet, a valve element, an armature shaft, and at least one strength element. The valve element is movable in an axial direction and is configured to open and to close the electromagnetically actuable rate control valve. The armature shaft transmits a force. The force is produced by the electromagnet and acts on the valve element in the axial direction. The at least one strength element is configured to raise at least the strength of the armature shaft. The armature shaft includes a needle region adjacent to the valve element and an armature region remote from the valve element. The needle region and the armature region are integral with each other.

Abstract: A method and system for testing software including computer executable instructions in a networked software quality assurance testing system. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises determining user type information and a program state model associated with a software application, and presenting a user with at least one action from an action library associated with the program state model and the user type information. Upon selection of the at least one action, generating one or more executable test scripts by causing the software application to advance through program states in accordance with the program state model, the one or more executable test scripts specifying a sequence of test steps based at least partly on the user type information.

Abstract: A method for operating a fuel delivery device of an internal combustion engine includes switching an electromagnetic actuating device of a volume control valve so as to set a delivery volume. An intensity of an energy that is supplied to the electromagnetic actuating device for switching purposes, in particular of a current supplied to the electromagnetic actuating device and/or a level of a voltage applied to the electromagnetic actuating device, depends at least intermittently on a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The invention provides a switching valve having a valve element which is movable in a housing, an actuating apparatus acting on the valve element in a first direction and a spring apparatus charging the valve element in a second direction. According to the invention, the first and second directions are in opposition and the spring apparatus has a progressive spring characteristic.

Abstract: A printing unit of a printing press includes a form cylinder and a transfer cylinder and an inking unit. A drive rotates the form cylinder to a position for effecting a printing plate change on the form cylinder in response to an actuating signal from a regulating a or control device. The actuating signal is determined as a function a circumferential register value of the form cylinder.

Abstract: An apparatus for changing flexible printing plates on a plate cylinder of printing machines having a simple, compact and space-saving construction is provided. The apparatus includes two magazines arranged beside each other, to hold the printing plates to be inserted and removed. A transporting arrangement pivotably mounted on a shaft is beside the magazines. A holding arrangement which is on the transporting means is used both to grip and guide a printing plate to be inserted and to grip and guide a printing plate to be removed. The magazines and the transporting arrangement are mounted in a frame that can be pivoted towards and away from the plate cylinder. The invention further relates to a method of changing flexible printing plates on a plate cylinder of a printing machine.
