Abstract: The invention relates to a method of performing a process using artificial intelligence. The method comprises running, by a computing device, an application configured to perform a process which uses an artificial intelligence model for processing signals and defining at least one parameter set for performing the at least one process; running, by the computing device, a user-driven workflow engine which comprises multiple modules including at least a first and second module; defining, by the first module, a context of the process and generating corresponding context information, providing the artificial intelligence model based on the generated context information of the process; and using, by the second module, the artificial intelligence model in a user-driven workflow within the application while executing the process. Advantageously, the combination of these modules describes an end-to-end connection which is self-learning and self-improving and is targeted at users with no expertise in the AI domain.

Abstract: In the braking device according to the invention for a vehicle for actuating at least one braking module, a secondary transmission which is embodied as a block and tackle is provided to transmit a force between a primary transmission and the at least one braking module. In this case, the block and tackle has a tension element (5) and at least one roller (2, 3). The at least one braking module interacts with an assigned roller (2, 3). In this case, it is provided that the tension element (5) is anchored at one end (53) and is guided at least over the one assigned roller (2, 3) and at least one additional roller (3, 2) and is connected at the other end (52) to a loading device (7). In the braking device, loading the tension element (5) changes the state of the at least one braking module by moving the assigned roller (2, 3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a ribbed V-belt having an elastomeric cover layer (1), a tension-support layer (3) and an elastomeric base body (2). The base body (2) has ribs which have an outer coating containing polymers and fibers and is fixedly joined to the base body. The outer coating is an elastomeric layer having a layer thickness of 0.15 to 0.25 mm. The elastomeric layer is based on an interlaced rubber and contains at least fibers (5) in combination with a fluoropolymer powder (6) and/or a powder of non-ferrous metal. The invention also relates to a method of making the ribbed V-belt.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic actuating system for a parking brake of a motor vehicle, with which the parking brake is hydraulically set by means of a setting mechanism through the use of the pressure stored in a pressure accumulator and is mechanically locked in the braking position by a triggering device.

Abstract: Fast wavelength stabilization can be obtained for a gas discharge laser, such as an excimer or molecular fluorine laser, using a fast wavelength correction unit. A fast wavelength correction unit can include a fast, precise motor driver unit, such as a linear or rotary voice coil motor, a piezo-ceramic motor, or a piezo motor driver unit. These motors can be used to rotate a tuning element, for example, in order to provide for precise and fast wavelength stabilization. The wavelength correction unit can be fully contained within an optical module, without the need for seals, bellows, or feedthroughs as in existing drive systems. Various arrangements and embodiments are described which can be appropriate for differing applications and/or systems.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting an orientation of an optical component mounted within a laser resonator with suppressed hysteresis includes an electromechanical device, a drive element, and a mechano-optical device coupled to the mounted optical component. The drive element is configured to contact and apply a force to the mechano-optical device in such a way as to adjust the orientation of the mechano-optical device, and thereby that of the optical component, to a known orientation within the laser resonator. The optical component is mounted such that stresses applied by the mount to the optical component are homogeneous and substantially thermally-independent.
