The filter device is exchangeable and is mounted in a filter housing such that the compact filter and the star filter have a common raw side and a common clean side that are separated from each other.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an array for measuring a primary current in a primary conductor that is magnetically coupled to a secondary conductor via a ferromagnetic core. In said method and array, the following is done; a voltage having a specific amplitude is applied to the secondary conductor such that a secondary current flows for reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core is reversed in order to obtain a first measured value; the polarity of the voltage is reversed such that a secondary current flows for once again reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the core is reversed in order to obtain a second measured value; the primary current is calculated in accordance with the first and the second measured value, the polarity of the voltage being regularly reversed at a certain sensor frequency that is continuously varied.

Abstract: Novel triazole derivatives of the formula (I) in which R1-R6 and Y have the meanings indicated in Claim 1, are HSP90 inhibitors and can be used for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of diseases in which the inhibition, regulation and/or modulation of HSP90 plays a role.

Abstract: The invention concerns a fuel filter 10, in particular for diesel fuels, that comprises a housing 11 and a filter medium 12. The filter medium 12 is arranged by means of a filter medium holder 24 in the housing, wherein the filter medium holder comprises a venting bore 25. Through the venting bore 25 gases that collect in the upper area of the fuel filter can pass from the crude chamber 21 into the clean chamber 22. For avoiding that contaminants can escape through a clean outlet 18 from the fuel filter 10 and damage components downstream, a clean medium 26 is provided that retains such contaminants.

Abstract: Instruction execution includes fetching an instruction that comprises a first set of one or more bits identifying the instruction, and a second set of one or more bits associated with a first address value. It further includes executing the instruction to determine whether to perform a trap, wherein executing the instruction includes selecting from a plurality of tests at least one test for determining whether to perform a trap and carrying out the at least one test.

Abstract: Handling a virtual method call includes extracting, from a pointer to an object, an identifier associated with the class of the object, the pointer to the object being associated with the virtual method call, and the identifier being embedded within the pointer; using the identifier to obtain a virtual method table, including locating a first entry in a class identifier table mapping a plurality of class identifiers to a corresponding plurality of class data, the first entry being associated with the identifier and comprising the virtual method table or a pointer used to obtain the virtual method table; locating a second entry in the virtual method table, the second entry being associated with the virtual method call; and jumping to an address associated with the second entry to execute code at the address.

Abstract: A battery monitoring device includes a sensor device, which is electrically connectable to an automobile battery and may be placed thereon, and which is arranged to detect an operating variable of the battery. The battery monitoring device further includes a detection circuit, which is connected via a cable connection to the sensor device; and a data processing circuit, which is connected via a potential isolation circuit to the detection circuit.
