  • Publication number: 20180093399
    Abstract: A method for producing a vehicle substructure with at least one first component, and also a vehicle substructure, are described herein. The first component is connectable to a second component by an installation connection. The first component is manufactured from a material which is not suitable for reversible deformations. A latching device having a deformable latching element is attached here to the first component. For this purpose, the first component is inserted into an injection molding device and is insert-molded with a reversibly deformable plastic. The latching device is produced here by injection molding and attached to the first component.

  • Publication number: 20170118947
    Abstract: A foldable transport box, particularly for transporting small animals, having a bottom, at which two face walls and two side walls made from one or more parts are pivotally mounted. The face walls and the side walls are essentially collapsed onto the bottom in the folded state of the transport box, while in the erected state of the transport box, starting from the bottom, they are essentially erected aligned upwards. The side walls are connected to each other at the top in the erected state of the transport box in order to close the transport box at the top. The side walls are detachably connected to each other at the top of the transport box in the erected state, with at least one side wall being detachable from the face walls and pivotal towards the outside in order to open the transport box in the opened state.

  • Publication number: 20160369364
    Abstract: A magnetic core and method for the manufacture of the magnetic core is presented. The method comprises winding an amorphous tape of a soft magnetic nanocrystallizable alloy possessing a first coefficient of thermal expansion onto a carrier of a material possessing a second coefficient of thermal expansion, wherein the second coefficient is larger than the first coefficient; a first thermal treatment of the wound tape together with the carrier, wherein the first thermal treatment creates a tension in the tape although the alloy remains in an x-ray amorphous state, removing the carrier from the wound tape after cooling of the wound tape together with the carrier; and a second thermal treatment of the wound tape without the carrier, wherein the second thermal treatment provides a nanocrystalline alloy structure, at least 50% of the alloy structure being fine crystalline particles having an average particle size of 100 nanometers or less.

  • Publication number: 20150373001
    Abstract: Methods are systems are provided for onboarding network equipment to managed networks. An onboarding controller may be used in authenticating the to-be-onboarded network equipment. The onboarding controller may issue a challenge, which may comprise instructions for making configuration changes to the network equipment. The configuration changes may comprise adding, removing, and/or changing connections within and/or to the network equipment within a local network comprising the network equipment. The onboarding controller may determine whether or not the configuration changes have been made to the network equipment. The determination of configuration changes may be used in verifying the identity and/or location of the network equipment, and/or in determining determine to which managed network the network equipment should be onboarded.
