Abstract: A method for evaluating the sameness of an auralization. The method including: providing a synthesis signal to map a real acoustic signal of a device; providing a reference signal that results from a reference measurement of a real acoustic signal of a device; evaluating the sameness between the provided synthesis signal and the provided reference signal to obtain a sameness result for the auralization, wherein the evaluation is carried out on the basis of an evaluation model for sameness according to human perception; providing the sameness result; wherein the evaluation of the sameness is carried out for at least two modifications of the provided synthesis signal in order to separately evaluate at least one frequency component of the synthesis signal.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a valve assembly, comprising a valve body, in which a fluid channel is formed that connects a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet, wherein a preload force is applied to a closing body, which is movably mounted in the fluid channel, in the direction of a valve seat formed in the valve body, a fluid force acting on the closing body against the preload force in order to open the valve seat. The closing body is guided axially and/or radially by at least one guide ball, the guide ball being arranged between the closing body and a lateral boundary of the fluid channel.

Abstract: A valve for variable throttling of a hydraulic flow includes a tappet and a guide element in which the tappet is guided for movement in a stroke direction. The valve also includes at least one fatigue-resistant, mechanical member that locally reduces a radial play of the tappet so as to reduce possible valve oscillations.

Abstract: An internal gear pump comprises an internal gear, a pinion eccentrically positioned in the internal gear and configured to mesh with the internal gear, a cover configured to close an installation space of the internal gear pump, and positioned on end sides of the pinion and the internal gear, a pump outlet leading through the cover, and a non-return valve positioned in the pump outlet in the cover and configured to open to allow flow out of the internal gear pump, and further configured to shut to disallow a return flow through the pump outlet into the internal gear pump.
