Abstract: A method is described for producing a gearwheel from a powder-metal blank which is pressed and sintered with an allowance in the toothing region, with the powder metal blank supported on a mandrel being densified in the region of the allowance by pressing on counter-toothing of a circular pusher tool engaging in the toothing of the powder metal blank under plastic deformation by the allowance. In order to ensure precise production it is proposed that during its densification the powder metal blank is radially clamped on both face sides over the circumference.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for fault-tolerant, reliable stream processing, where a data stream is processed by a processing means for yielding a result data stream, where before the data stream is processed, the data stream is decomposed (fission) (D1, D2) into at least two fission sub-streams (S1.a, S1.b, S2.a, S2.b), such that each fission sub-stream carries a partial information of said data stream, the data stream is processed by processing the at least two fission sub-streams independently (P.a, P.b) yielding at least two fission result sub-streams (RS1.a, RS1.b, RS2.a, RS2.b), where each fission result sub-stream carries a partial information of the result data stream, and where the at least two fission result sub-streams are composable (C1, C2) (fusion) to the result data stream, such that in case of unavailability of a part of the fission sub-streams the missing information could be interpolated. The invention also relates to an apparatus, a system and a computer software product therfor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a network-assisted communication method comprising: establishing a communication in a telecommunication network; capturing an identified communication contribution; and presenting and storing said communication contribution, associating the established communication with the captured communication contribution, and associating references to related communications to the established communication. The invention further relates to a telecommunication service, a server, a terminal device, and a computer software product therefor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for retrieving a web document provided by a web server, where the method comprising the usual steps of requesting a web document from the web server and replying with the web document, extended by the steps of requesting an analysis according to an inspection requirement, analyzing the content of the web document according to inspection requirements at the web server, and replying an analyzing result.
