Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic display and control device for a geodesic measuring device containing capturing means and representation means for detecting and reproducing a measuring range together with input means for controlling the measuring processes. The radiation beam necessary for said measuring processes is emitted by a radiation source and is influenced in the direction of emission thereof by orientating means such that it can be orientated onto a selected target within the measuring range without the capturing means being displaced. Determining the target and initiating the measuring process occurs by displacing a position mark on a screen. A suitable operating module con be produced by suitably combining the representation means with means for inputting data. Said module can also be used independently from and separately from a measuring device which is connected thereto by communication means.

In order to provide a method for controlling a microcontroller in a control unit that better protects the verification of memories of the microcontroller against unauthorized intervention, a verification program is stored in a write-once memory area of the rewritable memory area and a service program is stored in the read-only memory area. The verification program is called by the control program via the service program at regular intervals and verifies at least part of the rewritable memory area. In addition, the service program resets a counter.

Abstract: The invention concerns a drawer slide that has a swiveling double-armed lever around a pivot bearing and whose lever arms extend out from the pivot bearing and whose first lever arm, depending on the closed position, forms a positive/form-fitting connection between a linearly moving part and a cabinet-fixed part of the drawer slide, and whose second lever arm is connected to the draw-pull tension spring's first end and the second end of the draw-pull tension spring, distanced from it by under spring extension to a linearly moved or cabinet-fixed part of the drawer slide, is fastened. When the drawer is pushed in, the form-closure of the lever's first arm is turned out of a rest position over a dead center position in an automatic position, such that a further turn of the lever automatically shortens the pre-stressed spring on the second lever arm, so thus, pulling the drawer slide with the drawer into the cabinet opening.

Abstract: A method of protecting a microcomputer system against manipulation of data stored in a memory arrangement of the microcomputer system, in particular a control program stored there. Checking mechanisms are executed at preselectable points in times to check for manipulation of the data. To permit effective blocking of manipulated data stored in the memory arrangement, new data is stored at least partially in a volatile memory, in particular in a random access memory, in reprogramming or new programming of the memory arrangement, the checking mechanisms are executed and the portion of the new data stored in the volatile memory is copied to the memory arrangement if no manipulation of the new data has been detected.

Abstract: A nondestructive method for determining the thickness of a metallic protective layer determined by detection of a different type of intervening layer which is situated between the metallic protective layer and the metallic base material, by ultrasound, eddy-current or (pulsed) thermography. The intervening layer may comprise a nonmetallic layer of oxides or carbides, a metallic layer of pure nickel or a layer with depleted Al and Ti content in that region of the base material which is close to the surface. This method can be used for turbine blades in order to determine the layer thickness, for example during the test phase of coating, and to avoid the known destruction of the turbine blade, which is labor- and cost-intensive.

Abstract: A method of protecting a microcomputer system against manipulation of data stored in a storage assembly of the microcomputer system, particularly for protecting a program stored in the storage assembly, is described. In the method, the data is stored in marked or encrypted form in the storage assembly with the aid of an asymmetrical encryption method. In order to minimize the misuse of private keys which fall into the hands of unauthorized persons, a smart card protected by a personal identification number, on which the private key and an encryption algorithm for the asymmetrical encryption method are stored, is used for marking or encrypting the data.
