Abstract: A method for establishing a diagnosis of a component installed in a pipeline, by acoustic emission examination, includes establishing the diagnosis taking into account a first and a second acoustic emission sensor signals. A distinguishing feature between the first and second acoustic emission sensor signals is taken into account for the diagnosis. The first acoustic emission sensor signal is output from one acoustic emission sensor and a first acoustic emission signal is detected at a first position on the pipeline by the sensor The first position is located at a height of the component installed in the pipeline. The second acoustic emission sensor signal has been output by a sensor and is detected by the sensor at a second position on the pipeline. The second position is located on the pipeline at a distance from the first position in or against the flow guiding direction from the first position.

Abstract: Methods, computing devices, and software programs for identifying a driving scenario in real-time driving data. A driving scenario is received and translated into an ordered sequence of events that correspond to the driving scenario. A signal computation function is determined for each event in the sequence, which quantifies proximity to the respective event. Driving data is received for a plurality of time steps. Values of each signal computation function are determined, evaluated for the driving data at each of the plurality of time steps. It is determined whether the driving scenario has occurred in the driving data based on the values of the signal computation function. A first portion of the driving data is either modified, discarded, or stored in memory based on the determination whether the driving scenario has occurred.

Abstract: A method, computer device and computer program product are provided to modify a query that includes at least one temporal expression to identify a point in time at which the query is to be reevaluated. In the context of a method, a modified query is constructed from the query that includes at least one temporal expression. The modified query also identifies a next point in time at which the result of the query is able to change. The method also executes the modified query to determine a result of the query and to also determine the next point in time at which the result of the query is able to change. The method further includes scheduling the modified query to again be executed at the next point in time at which the result of the query is able to change.

Abstract: A CML/ECL clock phase shifter device provides a 360.degree. phase control range and, upon being provided with two CML clock signals related by a known phase difference, the device produces any desired phase in response to a control signal. The device uses a CMOS current switch which generates current signals having the amplitude adjustable with the control signal, which is a digital word. Differential pairs provide amplitude modulated current signals for the input clock and the variant of the input clock. Two MOS transmission networks selectively invert each amplitude modulated signal and sum the signals from each side on a load network. The phase control resolution is optimal over four quadrants for quadrature input clock signals.
