Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an alkoxysilane functional polyurethane-urea that can be used to prepare an adhesive or coating composition. The polyurethane-urea is obtainable by polymerization of reaction components comprising (a) an alkoxysilane functional thioether diol; (b) a polyisocyanate; and (c) an alkoxysilane functional aspartate ester, wherein the alkoxysilane functional aspartate ester is a Michael addition product of an amino-functional silane and an unsaturated diester. The polyurethane-urea has a low viscosity and can be used in solvent- and water-free adhesives or coatings. The adhesive or coating can be applied to various substrates such as wood, wood-containing composite, metal, plastics, paper, stone, glass or concrete.

Abstract: In a method of greasing a decanter centrifuge, each beating of the decanter centrifuge is located in a bearing housing and at least one bearing housing has a grease flow meter. The grease flow meter is connected to a control unit. The method includes generating a greasing operation when the operating time of the decanter centrifuge is equal to or exceeds a specific time interval between greasing operations. The greasing operation includes generating a start signal in the control unit, measuring an amount of grease injected into the bearing housing by using the flow meter, and generating a stop signal in the control unit when the amount of grease injected into the bearing housing is equal to or exceeds a specific amount of grease to be injected at each greasing operation.

Abstract: A low-cost cryptographic accelerator is disclosed that accelerates inner loops of a cryptographic process. The cryptographic accelerator performs operations on cryptographic data provided by a central processing unit (CPU) running a software cryptographic process to create a combined hardware and software cryptographic process, resulting in a lower cost secure communication solution than software-only or hardware-only cryptographic processes.

Abstract: An oil blending system for a marine diesel two-stroke engine and/or generator comprises a blender having at least one inlet for receiving a lubrication oil and at least one other component and at least one outlet for outputting a mixed lubrication oil composition to the engine or generator. A blender controller is configured to receive parameter data on the current lubrication oil status used in the engine or generator and receive parameter data on the current engine and/or generator status. The blender controller is also configured to automatically determine whether the currently used lubrication oil is within a predetermined parameter range based on the current engine and/or generator status. If the current lubrication oil is outside a predetermined parameter threshold, the blender controller is configured to determine a new lubrication oil composition for the engine or generator.

Abstract: For a financial consolidation process, a graphical user interface is presented, providing task icons representing financial consolidation tasks for business entities, including a view with business entities along a business entity axis and tasks along a task axis in a grid. Tasks for business entities are presented as task icons at an intersection of axes. A visual feature of each task icon indicates status, including indication of receipt status, so that the status of submissions is presented efficiently to the user. Responsive to receiving a user selection of one of the task icons, the same view shows an identification for a person assigned to the task of the selected task icon, wherein the status and person identification in the view enables the user to efficiently identify and contact assigned persons for expediting completion of missing submissions.

Abstract: Each realization of an electric circuit design defines a frequency response. For a test lot of the design, frequency responses are measured, each at a stable value of an environment parameter, wherein the totality of the values are distributed over a parameter range. Based on the measurements, a design-specific model is defined that describes a frequency response of the design in dependence of the environment parameter. For a unit in a main lot of realizations of the design, a unit-specific frequency response is measured at a stable value of the environment parameter; the model is fitted to the response, whereby a unit-specific model is obtained; data representing the unit-specific model is stored in association with the unit; and the unit is operated in conjunction with a compensation stage configured to determine a present value of the environment parameter and compensate drift in relation to a parameter-independent reference frequency response.
