Abstract: Automated approval of a non-compliance of a modified configuration of a computer system includes performing a compliance check by a compliance management system. The modified configuration results from deploying a pre-approved modification pattern by a package management system modifying an initial configuration of the computer system. The modification pattern is provided by a software package that specifies at least one modification to be applied to the initial configuration and at least one compliance exception pre-approval specifying pre-approved non-compliances of modifications with compliance rules. Responsive to detecting a non-compliance, the non-compliance is compared with the pre-approved non-compliances. In response to determining that the detected non-compliances are not matching any pre-approved non-compliances, a compliance exception approval is requested. The detected non-compliance is approved in response to receiving the compliance exception approval for the detected non-compliances.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for automated approval of a non-compliance of a modified configuration of a computer system with one or more compliance rules, the method comprising: receiving by a package management system a pre-approved modification pattern in form of a software package, deploying a modification pattern of the software package and providing compliance exception pre-approvals of the software package to a compliance management system, performing a compliance check of the resulting modified configuration of the computer system, in response to detecting a non-compliance with a compliance rule, comparing the detected non-compliance with the one or more pre-approved non-compliances, in response to a matching of the detected non-compliance with one or more of the respective pre-approved non-compliances, automatically approving the detected non-compliance by the compliance management system.

Abstract: Catalyst-coated support, method for producing the same, reactor comprising the same and use thereof. Supports having a catalytic coating comprising at least one porous and cavity-containing catalyst layer are described, cavities being irregular spaces having dimensions greater than 5 ?m in at least two dimensions or having cross-sectional areas of at least 10 ?m2. The catalytic coatings are distinguished by a high adhesive strength and can preferably be used in microreactors.

Abstract: An explosive charge is disclosed which has a spatial shape comprising explosive material and, in the course of the explosion, unfolds a spatially anisotropic pressure action in at least one main action direction, in which the pressure action is greater than in the other action directions. The spatial shape comprising the explosive material has a surface area facing toward the at least one main action direction and extends in the at least one main action direction, particles are applied and/or a material layer disintegrating into particles during the explosion is applied to the surface area, the particles comprise a nonexplosive material, and a total mass of the particles is less than a mass of the explosive material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for energetically utilizing solid waste. The term “solid waste” refers, for example, to waste paper, scrap wood, plastic waste, production waste, industrial sludge or other solid fractions containing combustible constituents, or mixtures thereof. The aim of the invention is to create a device for thermally utilizing solid waste, which has a neutral if not even positive energy balance and is suitable for a wide range of waste materials while paying special attention to environmental relevance, especially the flue-gas composition. The aim is achieved by providing the inventive device with a material-feed mechanism, a charring apparatus and a thermal post-combustion apparatus. These basic components make it possible to utilize many different types of solid waste, the feedstock initially being transformed into hot gas which can be converted into steam and power as required.

Abstract: A hydraulically damping elastomeric bearing is suitable for mountings in a motor vehicle. The elastomeric bearing includes an elastic bearing part which is arranged between a sleeve-shaped outer part and an inner part coaxial thereto and which connects these elastically to one another. At least two chambers, which are filled with a liquid damping medium, communicate with one another via at least one throttle duct. Four chambers are provided, which are arranged in one plane, the four chambers each being arranged in one of four quadrants which are formed by two intersecting axes arranged in the plane, and at least two throttle ducts being provided.

Abstract: A hydraulically damping elastomeric bearing, which is suitable for mountings in a motor vehicle, includes an elastic connecting body which is arranged between a first bearing component and a second bearing component and connects these elastically to one another. Two chambers which are filled with a liquid damping medium communicate with one another via at least one throttle duct. To generate a specific damping characteristic, at least two throttle ducts are provided, which connect the two chambers to one another, the first throttle duct containing an absorber which is adjusted as a function of pressure differences between the chambers in the first throttle duct, the absorber controlling the opening cross-section of the second throttle duct as a function of its adjusting movements.

Abstract: By localizing a location D on an optical axis, a virtual image is determined and compared with a measured virtual image. Using an iterative method, a location D can be shifted until the calculated and measured virtual images coincide and these data can then be used to determine an absolute spatial co-ordinate for a point on the surface. This method can be used, for example, in charting the surface of the cornea of an eye which has a reflecting film of tears.

Abstract: Hollow charge with a jet-forming lining or cover, in particular for producing a channel for a follow-through projectile in take-off runways, roadways or other stationary ground targets. A projectile-forming inert material is located between an initiator point and the jet-forming lining or cover at a distance from the initiator point and jet-forming lining or cover. The size, geometry, thickness and spatial position of the projectile-forming body are adaptable to the respective target characteristics.
