Abstract: A method for model-based generation of startup configurations of embedded systems that includes importing into a modeling module a first startup configuration in textual representation by a system synchronization module, generating a graphical representation of the startup configuration by the modeling module, and modifying the graphical representation of the first startup configuration generating from the modified graphical representation a second, modified startup configuration in textual representation by the modeling module, and exporting the second modified startup configuration into the system synchronization module, which can simplify generation of startup configurations of an embedded system.

Abstract: A capacitor includes a container, a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a fluid electrolyte. The positive electrode comprises a metal substrate and an active material provided in contact with the metal substrate, the active material comprising at least one of poly (ethylene 3,4-dioxythiophene) and a titanate.

Abstract: An electrode for an electrolytic capacitor includes a substrate comprising titanium; a carbide layer adjacent the substrate; and a carbonaceous layer adjacent the carbide layer and including means for enhancing the capacitance of the electrode.

Abstract: An electrode for a capacitor, such as an electrolytic capacitor, includes a substrate comprising a metal. A carbide layer is provided adjacent the substrate, and a layer of material comprising an oxide of manganese is provided adjacent the carbide layer. According to one embodiment, the layer of material may also comprise activated carbon. The capacitor may be configured for use with a variety of devices, including implantable medical devices.

Abstract: A routing display for a navigation system in a road vehicle in the form of an electro-optical display can be driven by a routing computer and uses symbols to display a direction of current travel and a direction which is to be taken after a turn-off point relative to one another. The sizes of the two symbols relative to one another is changed such that the relative size of the symbol marking the direction which is to be taken after the turn-off point increases as the turn-off point is approached. Accordingly, when the driver looks at the routing display, he is given the visual impression that he is approaching the turn-off point.
