Abstract: A method and a device for adaptively controlling power in a radar device having a radar transmitter and a radar receiver are provided, in particular for applications in vehicles. The radar signals are emitted, and radar signals reflected off of target objects are received and checked for irregularities. The transmitting power of the radar transmitter is reduced when irregularities occur which are attributable to interference caused by neighboring radar transmitters.

Abstract: In order to produce a planar antenna array in a radar sensor with a multitude of microstrip feeder lines and a multitude of coupling slots for emitting microwave energy into open space, which achieves a favorable antenna efficiency when embodied in a planar design using LTCC technology, the invention proposes embodying the feeder lines and the coupling slots in a multilayer ceramic substrate produced by means of the LTCC thick layer technique with an upper and a lower grounded layer, as well as enclosing the feeder lines and the coupling slots with plated-through contacts from the upper grounded layer to the lower one.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mill train (1) for milling a strip-type product to be milled (10). Said mill train comprises a number of roll stands (2) which are successively arranged in a milling direction (x) and which can be respectively pivoted about a rotational axis (18) which is essentially perpendicular to the milling direction (x). The aim of the invention is to maintain a belt run which favors a pre-determined milling result, in an especially simple and reliable manner. According to the invention, a control value (S) is pre-determined for the pivoting angle of a roll stand, or of each roll stand (2), according to the determined contour of the strip end (30) of a product (10) which has already been milled. According to the invention, additional control elements can also be used.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for sensing information about the position and/or movements of the body of a living being or a part of the body inside the body, in particular for use in a motor vehicle. The method includes the steps: Send (18) an electromagnetic signal (15) that includes, according to the invention, frequencies in the radar range, to a predetermined area of the body of a living being, Receive (20) an electromagnetic signal (22) reflected from the area of the body, Evaluate (30) the captured receive signal (22) with regard for the difference in delay time and/or frequency relative to the transmit signal (15) to determine the information. With the method according to the present invention, the breathing and heart rate and the position of the body of a driver of a motor vehicle can be monitored in contactless fashion during the drive.

Abstract: A method of adjusting two shielding elements and including transporting a metal strip on a roller table, shielding a cooling medium from the edge regions of the metal strip with adjusting shielding elements, and adjusting the shielding elements asymmetrically with respect to the central axis of the roller table so that the temperature profile behind the shielding elements, as seen in a transporting direction of the strip, approximate to a nominal temperature profile; and an assembly for effecting the method.

Abstract: A drill used for dry drilling, characterized by the asymmetry of those cutting edge parts only whose faces are in the drill core area, in particular its entire chisel edge. This asymmetry can result from the fact that the individual chisel edges have different lengths.

Abstract: A method of adjusting a position of two shield elements for a liquid cooling medium and arranged above a metal strip having a strip plane and a strip central plane extending transverse to the strip plane and intersecting the same along the strip central axis, with the two shield elements being located opposite each other with respect to the strip central plane and having each an adjustable component identical to the adjustable component of another of the two shield elements and adjustable transverse to the strip central plane, and with the method including providing an adjusting element connectable with the two shield elements for adjusting the same, and adjusting the adjusting element in the strip central plane; and a device for effecting the method.

Abstract: A method of shaping a metal strip in a hot rolling installation including arranged one after another finishing train, cooling section, and coiler, with the method including providing, in a region between an end of the cooling section and the coiler, rolls for reducing a strip thickness, and reducing the thickness of the strip after the strip leaves the cooling section; and an installation for effecting the method.
