Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for arranging sheets in an overlapping position in a transfer unit arranged between a first processing station and a second processing station following the first processing station in a transport direction of the sheets. The sheets to be overlapped are transported from the first processing station to the transfer unit, in a transport plane and each individually lying behind one another. A respective rear, in the transport direction, edge of the sheets coming from the first processing station, is raised relative to the transport plane exclusively by the use of blown air, and a second subsequent sheet is slid under the rear edge of the respective preceding first sheet.

Abstract: A drivable torsion beam axle (2) with a transverse profiled element and trailing arms (1) connected, at each end, to the profiled element is described, within which, at least in some areas, a drive-train (7) is arranged in each case and by which the torsion beam axle (2) can be connected to a vehicle body. The trailing arms (1) are, in each case, made as two-component housing castings with a housing plane of division extending in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A trailing arm device (1) of a drivable torsion beam axle (2) is described. The trailing arm device (1) has a housing (5) in which a drive-train (8) can be arranged and is connected to a trailing arm (4). The housing (5), as fitted into position within a vehicle, has a sidewall (11) formed integrally with a central housing region (9) on a side facing toward a wheel. The sidewall delimits a housing interior space (10) that accommodates, at least partially, the drive-train (8). On the side facing away from the wheel, the housing interior space (10) is delimited by at least one cover element (14) that can be detachably connected to the central housing region (9).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for optimizing a cookie or token in a web service or other claims based domain system. A user presents an identity token to the domain system which verifies the identity claim as authentic and then determines what accounts the user has access to on the domain. The user is issued an intermediate token by the system which includes the locations of the accounts the user has access to. The user then selects the account they wish to interact with and receives an account token back to the user for the specific account, including any of the privileges the user has on the account. The account token also includes information that the user has multiple accounts on the domain. The user is able to switch accounts on the domain system without having to revalidate their credentials to the domain system.

The engine also includes a cylinder head gasket, and a cylinder head. For the purpose of removing excess heat from the cylinder bore bridge, cooling channels are provided that allow coolant to flow from the engine block water jacket, across the cylinder bore bridge, and into a cylinder head coolant passageway. In addition, coolant is prevented from flowing from the water jacket on one side of the cylinders, across the bore bridge, and into the water jacket on the other side of the cylinders.

The saddle element (18) includes a supporting portion (24) that bears on the outer wall (14) of the inflator (12).

Abstract: A transmission includes a transmission output speed (TOS) sensor providing a signal indicative of an output speed of the transmission. A controller estimates an actual torque output of the transmission and determines, in real time, a first TOS acceleration based on the signal provided by the transmission output speed sensor and a second TOS acceleration based on the actual torque estimation. The first and second accelerations are compared and a torque transient trigger is activated when the divergence exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A compressed-air brake line which comprises: I) an external layer made of a moulding composition which comprises at least 50% by weight of PA11 and/or PA12, and II) an internal layer made of a moulding composition which comprises at least 50% by weight of polyamide whose monomer units comprise on average at least 8 C atoms is provided. Layer II) does not contain PA11 and/or PA12. The compressed-air brake line has high bursting strength even at elevated temperature, good low-temperature impact resistance, good ageing resistance, and can be produced at low cost.

Abstract: A method of controlling a transmission (100) for a machine is disclosed. The transmission includes a variator (104). The transmission is operated in a first operating range (301). It is determined whether a current speed ratio is within a first predetermined range of a speed ratio associated with a first synchronous point (304) lying between the first operating range (301) and the second operating range (302). A desired speed ratio is determined and it is determined if the desired speed ratio is within a second predetermined range of the speed ratio. A shift between the first and second operating ranges (301, 302) is prevented and the variator (104) is controlled to hold the current speed ratio if the desired speed ratio is within the second predetermined range or the rate of acceleration of the machine is below the threshold acceleration.
