Abstract: A method for determining the viscosity of a medium using a Coriolis mass flow meter comprises exciting bending vibrations in the measuring tube in a symmetrical bending vibration use mode using an exciter arranged symmetrically in relation to a longitudinal direction of the measuring tube; detecting sensor signals of a central vibration sensor also arranged symmetrically in relation to a longitudinal direction of the measuring tube; detecting sensor signals of a vibration sensor on the inlet side and of a vibration sensor on the outlet side; determining a phase relation or time delay between the sensor signals of the central vibration sensor and a symmetrical function of the sensor signals on the inlet-side and outlet-side vibration sensors; and determining the viscosity of the medium as a function of the phase relation or time delay.

The interface is of a serial type and is operable to transfer data chunks of a predetermined data chunk format comprising a channel address field indicating a logical channel the data chunk is assigned to.

Abstract: An ATM-port module for an ATM-node having an Ethernet switch includes an ATM-controller; and an Ethernet-switch interface connecting it to the Ethernet switch. The switch has an Ethernet encapsulating-unit for encapsulating ATM cells processes by the ATM-controller into packets for transmission to the switch, and an Ethernet decapsulating-unit for extracting ATM cells from packets received from the switch. The module further includes a segmentation-and-reassembly unit; and a buffering-and-scheduling unit. The buffering-and-scheduling unit provides a processed enlarged-ATM-cell to the encapsulating-unit when an indication flag indicates that an ATM port is a destination port of the enlarged ATM-cell; and a processed enlarged-ATM-cell to the segmentation-and-reassembly unit when an indication flag indicates that an Ethernet port is the enlarged ATM-cell's destination port.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing workpieces treated in a vacuum includes providing first and second vacuum chambers having first and second vacuum pumps, respectively. A vacuum is generated in the first and second vacuum chambers using the second vacuum pump. The second vacuum pump is connected by valves between the first vacuum chamber through the first vacuum pump and the second vacuum chamber. The valves are operated to evacuate the second vacuum chamber, followed by processing the workpieces in the first vacuum chamber.

Abstract: A lock chamber (1) is isolated from the environment (U) by a lock-valve (3) and from a vacuum chamber configuration (7) by a lock valve (5). A turbo vacuum pump (13) acts upon the vacuum chamber configuration (7). An additional pump (9/15) is switchably (17) connected downstream from the pump, which switchably operates either as a prevacuum pump for the turbo vacuum pump (13) or as lock chamber pump.
