  • Publication number: 20100319559
    Abstract: At least one rotating component of at least one printing unit is regulated to a target value for a temperature, representing the component temperature, by a temperature controller. At least one drive of an assembly of the printing machine is regulated or controlled, on the basis of a target value for a rotational speed prescribed by a command level, with respect to a rotational speed to be maintained. For at least an operating phase transient, relative to the rotational speed, a target value prescribed by the command level, is modified. This is done by considering at least one member of a route and/or a control model characterizing the temperature controller and/or by using a rule (F2(?)) for a dependence of a rotational speed on a temperature. The modified target rotational speed serves as a prescribed value for the rotational speed of the drives.

  • Patent number: 7810382
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining material properties of a contact formed between a measurement tip of a microscopic probe and a sample surface of a sample material. According to the method, a distance modulation is applied for modulating a distance between a support of the microscopic probe end the sample surface in a direction essentially normal to the sample surface and wherein a normal force signal indicative of a normal force is measured and demodulated. In the method it is proposed that the material properties be determined using measurement data comprised in the demodulated normal force signal and related to a (concave) buckling deformation of the microscopic probe relative to and away from the sample surface.

  • Patent number: 7810819
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for damping vibrations on chassis bearings of motor vehicles, and a device for implementing the process. A process and a device are to be presented with which outstanding vibration damping and vibration isolation and noise insulation can be achieved over a wide frequency range with consideration of the driving states and roadway conditions which occur in motor vehicles. For this purpose it is proposed that the driving state of the motor vehicle and/or the roadway conditions are detected by way of sensors and that the at least one chassis bearing is modified to different characteristics to change its stiffness and/or damping depending on the detected parameters.

  • Publication number: 20100218385
    Abstract: A hand-guided electric device has an electric motor for driving a tool. The electric motor has a motor housing with inlet and outlet for cooling air. A blower wheel is driven by the electric motor and cooling air is conveyed into the motor housing with the blower wheel through the inlet and blown out from the motor housing through the outlet. The device housing has a cooling air inlet chamber and a cooling air outlet chamber. The cooling air enters the inlet chamber through a cooling air inlet port in an exterior housing wall of the device housing and exits from the outlet chamber through a cooling air outlet port in the exterior housing wall. The cooling air inlet and outlet chambers are separated from one another substantially air-tightly by an inner housing wall so that motor housing is the only flow connection between inlet and outlet chambers.

  • Publication number: 20100195855
    Abstract: An apparatus and an associated method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a measuring signal emitted and detected by a hearing device include a generator unit for generating a measuring signal, a modulation unit for modulating the measuring signal prior to or during emission in such a way that the detected measuring signal is modulated according to the generated measuring signal, and a detection unit for detecting the measuring signal on the basis of the modulation. The result of a measurement, for instance an OLG measurement, is therefore more independent of external disturbances and the signal-to-noise ratio is increased.
