Abstract: A coating, preferably a color coating, method for keratin fibers is described which includes three steps: activation, pretreatment and binding. The activation step includes one or both of a Praeparatur procedure and a Fundamenta procedure to produce modified fibers. The pretreatment step applies a pretreatment composition of at least a PTH alkoxysilane with PTH as a thiol, a protected thiol or a group complementarily reactive with thiol to the modified fibers to form pretreated fibers. The binding step applies a film forming composition to the pretreated fibers to form the color coating.

Abstract: A method for evaluating partial discharge signals. Partial discharge signals are captured, at only one point or at a plurality of points, near insulation of the electrical outer conductors of a multi-phase alternating current. The multi-phase alternating current, flowing in respective outer conductors, has fixed phase shifts relative to each other. Partial discharge signals are superposed on each other. At least one characteristic variable of the partial discharge signals is defined. Each partial discharge signal is assigned a phase position. A characteristic variable value of each characteristic variable is determined. Each partial discharge signal is assigned a number tuple from each characteristic variable value of the partial discharge signal and from the phase position. Clusters of the partial discharge signals in a multidimensional space with points formed by the number tuples are determined. A partial discharge activity is determined for each outer conductor from the determined clusters.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for installing a program code packet onto a device. A processor device of the device receives the program code packet via a first data connection from a device-external data source and forms a checksum value in response to the received program code packet. A controller which differs from the processor device is operated in the device. The controller receives a reference checksum value from a specified device-external update server device via a second data connection, which differs from the first data connection, and the checksum value formed by the processor device from same, and a specified installation procedure for installing the program code packet on the processor device is initiated by the controller in the processor device only in the event that the checksum value and the reference checksum value are identical.
