Abstract: An apparatus for encoding a multi-channel signal having at least three channels includes an iteration processor, a channel encoder and an output interface. The iteration processor is configured to calculate inter-channel correlation values between each pair of the at least three channels, for selecting a pair including a highest value or including a value above a threshold, and for processing the selected pair using a multi-channel processing operation to derive first multi-channel parameters for the selected pair and to derive first processed channels. The iteration processor is configured to perform the calculating, the selecting and the processing using at least one of the processed channels to derive second multi-channel parameters and second processed channels. The channel encoder is configured to encode channels resulting from an iteration processing to obtain encoded channels.

Abstract: A method for adhesively bonding two substrates, including the steps: (a) applying a liquid, radiation-curable primer composition onto the surface of a first substrate; (b) curing the liquid, radiation-curable primer composition by applying radiation with a suitable wavelength, intensity and temporal exposure such that the radiation-curable primer composition is cured into a solidified, coherent or interrupted layer adhering to the surface of the substrate; (c) optionally storing the primed substrate for a time of up to 6 months; (d) applying a curable adhesive composition onto the cured primer composition on the substrate; (e) joining a second substrate to the adhesive composition on the first substrate such that an adhesive bond is formed between the substrates, wherein the surface of the second substrate to be adhesively bonded is optionally pre-treated to improve adhesion before step (e) is performed; (f) curing the curable adhesive composition.

Abstract: A wing profile has a glass package including several glass plates, wherein the wing profile has a reinforcement element made of plastic, which substantially is mounted on the wing profile below the entire support surface of the glass package. Between the reinforcement element and the glass package, a cohesive connection is provided by a plurality of adhesive elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dual-roller crusher (1) with rollers (2, 3) rotatably mounted in a crusher housing and are driven by a motor so as to counter-rotate synchronously about respective parallel center axes, crusher teeth (6, 7) being mounted on the outer surfaces of the rollers (2, 3), every crusher tooth (6, 7) of a roller (2, 3) of the pair of rollers being fittable into a respective pocket (8, 9) in the outer surface of the other roller (2, 3) of the pair of rollers such that, during rotation of the rollers (2, 3), each crusher tooth (6, 7) engages in the respective pocket (8, 9).

Abstract: A composite element is disclosed, such as a composite element for an insulating-glass unit, including a first pane element and at least one second pane element and at least one first profile element, wherein the profile element has at least one first connecting surface and/or at least one second connecting surface, wherein the first and/or the second connecting surface are/is provided for applying and/or accommodating a first connecting device, adjacent the first connecting surface is a third connecting surface for applying and/or accommodating a second connecting device, and/or adjacent the second connecting surface is a fourth connecting surface for applying and/or accommodating a second connecting device. The first pane element and the second pane element can be connected by the profile element, the first connecting device, and/or the second connecting device.

Abstract: A crane system for transporting and optionally lifting and lowering a load has an elongated beam, a carriage that can move along the beam, a grab on the carriage for picking up and carrying a load, and an electrical drive for displacing the carriage along the beam. A sensor can detect a force applied to the load to move the load relative to the beam. An electronic controller connected between the sensor and the drive can shift the carriage on the beam by the drive in a direction and at a rate comparable to a direction and magnitude of the force applied to the load carried by the pickup means relative to the carriage and/or beam and detected by the sensor means.
