Abstract: A connecting part for mounting on two housing parts of an induction hob has a U-shaped cross section overall, as a channel, as seen in the longitudinal direction and has two segments. The two segments are connected together in a displaceable manner in the longitudinal direction and are secured captively to one another. The first segment has a front end and the second segment has a front end. The segments each have a connecting means at their front end for connecting to in each case one housing part of an induction hob in a form-fitting manner.

Abstract: An induction heating device including two induction heating coils and a plug-type contact device has a flat coil carrier for the induction heating coils, the plug-type contact device being arranged on the bottom face of the coil carrier with an insertion direction perpendicular to the surface of the coil carrier. The plug-type contact device has, on the bottom face of the coil carrier, a plug housing being movable with a defined movement travel in a plane parallel to the surface of the coil carrier. The plug housing has four receiving chambers being open at the bottom and having a direction of extent parallel to the insertion direction, in each of which a plug-type contact is arranged. A contact-making line runs from the plug-type contact to the induction heating coil.

Abstract: Power usage is estimated in a computing environment by automatically detecting hardware configuration information by use of a software agent that is translated into power consumption information for implementing a plurality of power estimation models for efficient power consumption and utilization.

Abstract: An operator control device for an electrical appliance has a cover, a rotary actuator as an actuating element and a mount for the rotary actuator. The rotary actuator is arranged under the cover and has a driver disk with contacts, and a component carrier with opposing contacts. The contacts bear against the opposing contacts or conductor tracks as a function of a rotational position. The mount has a mounting frame with an axle which is rotatably mounted thereon for the rotary actuator, which axle penetrates the driver disk, the component carrier and the cover. The axle has an outer contour and the driver disk has an inner contour which corresponds thereto and is rotationally fixed with respect to the outer contour, wherein the driver disk and the axle are arranged so as to be rotationally fixed with respect to one another but axially movable.

Abstract: A method and a device for acquiring a value of a defined reference point of a first variable which is measured by an incrementally measuring sensor of a motor vehicle are disclosed. The method includes the step of acquiring intermediate values of the defined reference point in at least two detection modules using at least one second measured variable, wherein each detection module is adapted to determine a value of the defined reference point of the first variable in a pre-defined driving situation. A quality level for each intermediate value is determined. The quality levels of the intermediate values are compared. The value of the defined reference point is determined from the acquired intermediate values in accordance with a result of the compared quality levels.

Abstract: A method for identifying unstable driving states is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: (a) detecting whether the magnitude of a difference between a first value of a driving state variable that is detected by means of a first sensor, and a second value of the driving states variable that is calculated from measured values of at least one further sensor, increases over time, (b) filtering the difference by means of a delay element after it has been established that the difference has increased, (c) comparing the filters difference and the unfiltered difference, and (d) establishing the presence of an unstable driving states when the comparison shows that a deviation between the filtered difference and the unfiltered difference exceeds a predefined threshold value. The method enables an unstable driving state to be identified even when a driving states variable has an offset error which is of the desired size.
