Abstract: One example discloses a test-point access structure within a semiconductor, including: a target test-point configured to be coupled to a circuit within the semiconductor; a first doped region within the semiconductor configured to generate a first signal in response to an energy beam transmitted by a circuit editing (CE) tool; a second doped region within the semiconductor configured to generate a second signal in response to the energy beam transmitted by the CE tool; and a target pad coupling the target test-point to the first doped region; wherein the CE tool is configured to remove material from the semiconductor in response to the first signal and the second signal.

Abstract: A micromechanical device that includes a silicon substrate with an overlying oxide layer and with a micromechanical functional layer lying above same, which extend in parallel to a main extension plane, a cavity being formed at least in the micromechanical functional layer and in the oxide layer. An access channel is formed in the oxide layer and/or in the micromechanical functional layer which, starting from the cavity, extends in parallel to the main extension plane and in the process extends in a projection direction, as viewed perpendicularly to the main extension plane, all the way into an access area outside the cavity. A method for manufacturing a micromechanical device is also described.

Abstract: A method for producing a crimp connection includes initially guiding a cable end of a cable with a gripper to a crimping press. For this feed movement the gripper is moved by an actuator in an axial direction along the cable axis. The cable end is thereafter connected with a crimp contact. During the crimping process the gripper is, for compensation for length extension of the cable during crimping, moved along the cable axis in a return movement in an opposite direction to the feed movement.

Patient data of the patient is electronically stored in the first apparatus, the interfaces of both apparatuses are connected, the patient data is transferred from the first apparatus to the second apparatus, and the procedure is implemented with the second apparatus.

Abstract: Portfolio management methods, systems, and computer programs are provided for allowing users to extract content out of an online transaction processing system into a portfolio management system database using a data warehouse as a filtering device in an integrated database system. Data sets from the online transaction processing system may be received into the data warehouse, where the received data sets are filtered. The filtered-out data sets may then be provided to the portfolio management system database, where they may be stored.

Abstract: Summarizing, the present invention relates to a computerized method for processing and displaying data of a business unit comprising the steps: extracting a set of past data of said business unit from a past data base using a closed computer environment and introducing said set of past data into said closed computer environment; extracting a set of future plan data of said business unit from a future plan data base using said closed computer environment and introducing said set of future plan data into said closed computer environment, wherein extracting of said set of future plan data comprises: automatic determining and extracting of at least one preconfigured subset of said set of future plan data; automatic extracting the remaining data of said future plan data from said data base; determining at least one estimate value from said set of past data and said set of future plan data, using said closed computer environment and displaying said at least one determined estimate value, as well as a computer

Abstract: A wire feeding device for very fine wire includes a straightening unit, a transporting unit, a wire buffer, and a wire guide arranged on a table on which a swivel unit with a wire drive is also arranged. The swivel unit serves wire-processing stations of a wire-processing machine. A supply of very fine wire is held in a drum and passes through the straightening unit which straightens the wire, bends and kinks being thereby removed. The transporting unit pulls the wire out of the drum and through the straightening unit and feeds the wire buffer. The wire buffer has a measuring device for monitoring a hanging wire loop. Depending on the requirement for wire in the wire-processing machine, the content of the buffer can decrease and the wire apex of the loop then moves upwards. The movement of the wire apex is detected by the measuring device and controlled with a control device via the transporting unit.

Abstract: A test system for a medical system that has a central control unit to control medical system components dependent on received operating commands, has an interface for setting up a data connection to the central control unit, a data storage, and a transmission device that provides a sequence of date packets that correspond to operating commands for controlling the system components, coded for the central control unit of the medical system, according to the specification of a test file readout from the data storage, and for monitored transfer of the sequence of data packets to the central control unit. The present test system allows automated function tests of medical systems to be reproducibly implemented without effort by personnel.

Both shoulder belt parts (1,2) have a single upper anchoring point (11) and all belt parts (1 to 4) are formed by one continuous finite belt.

Abstract: A protective for a stove plate of an electric range comprises a heat-resistant aluminum foil into which bulges have been embossed corresponding to the heating units. The embossing is carried out by hand by laying a piece of foil on the stove plate and pressing the foil on and around the heating units. Stripes of a temperature-indicating salt, such as NH.sub.4 MnP.sub.2 O.sub.7, which change color at a predetermined temperature are preferably applied to the foil to give visual indication of over-heating.
