Abstract: An acoustic transducer and audio system are checked for operability continuously during operation without interfering with their operation. An inaudible test signal is added on top of a normal audio signal of an electronic device. A mix of the test signal and the normal audio signal is converted to a digital signal which is processed by a type of Fourier transformation, e.g. the Goertzel algorithm, to derive the magnitude of the digital signal at the test signal frequency. The derived magnitude is used to gain knowledge about the functionality of the acoustic transducer and its electrical connection to the electric device, as well as a common audio path.

Abstract: A knowledge transfer approach is assessed by assigning multiple situation attributes for the knowledge transfer approach. Furthermore, a plurality of communication forms are attributed to the knowledge transfer approach. Based on the situation attributes and the communication form attributes, multiple relationships are derived. Based on these relationships, a compatibility value is determined between the situation attributes and the communication form attributes. Therefore, for a particular knowledge transfer approach, a compatibility value provides an indicator of the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer approach to a customer's specific needs. Moreover, the with multiple knowledge transfer approaches, the effectiveness of these approaches can be assessed by a calculation of compatibility values for each approach and the comparison of the different values.

Abstract: The generation and adjustment of a training object allows for the customized training for a user on a software application. Based on a user identification, the training object may be generated to cover targeted topics for learning while avoiding extraneous subject matter. The training object is generated using knowledge transfer modules composed of knowledge transfer objects. The selection of the knowledge transfer objects is determined based on attributes associated with a user identification and factors associated with the identified user. Therefore, when the user accesses and executes a training object associated with the specific user, the training objects provide directed and targeted training.

Abstract: A process and a device for accelerated execution of a program by a stored-program controller (SPC) on a machine. The machine has actuators actuated by the SPC to perform machine actions and sensors to output machine status signals. According to the process, the subsequent actuator action is triggered independently of whether the machine action caused by the previous actuator triggering has been completed. For this purpose, a status evaluation device is connected between the SPC and the machine, which receives the actuator triggering signals and the status signals output by the machine, and which generates therefrom an acknowledge signal indicating the completion of a machine action caused by actuator triggering; the acknowledge signal is supplied to the SPC as feedback signals describing the machine.
