Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a system for use in optoelectronic/photonic applications and integrated circuit (IC) chips. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system including a driver circuit, a bias generator, and a light sensor. The driver circuit has at least one transistor including a back gate and a front gate. The bias generator is connected to the back gate of the transistor. The light sensor is connected to the bias generator. The system is capable of adjusting the brightness of a display unit to adapt to the brightness of an ambient light.

Abstract: A metering device (10) for withdrawing and dispensing a melt consisting of or containing an oxide fibre reinforced oxide ceramic composite material.

Abstract: A rail vehicle for transporting people, which is in the form of an articulated train-type multiple unit, includes at least two car bodies. Adjoining car bodies are supported on a common central running gear and end car bodies are additionally supported on end running gears. All of the running gears have a distance between the centers of the bogies of two adjoining running gears of from 18 to 21 m, and the end car bodies have a length of from 24 to 27 m.

Abstract: A fastening configuration for connecting a roof-side equipment container to the roof of a rail vehicle includes a fastening rail and a clamping device which engages in the fastening rail in order to clamp a retention section of the equipment container. The fastening rail is constructed as a T-rail which has a web associated with the roof and a support plate at the end of the web which runs perpendicular to the web and which is associated with the retention section of the equipment container. The T-rail has a hole which extends through the support plate into the web, and the clamping device can be inserted in the hole and engages under the support plate.

Abstract: A cantilevered seat support for a vehicle has only connections to a sidewall of the vehicle. The cantilever seat support predominantly consists of components that are produced by deep drawing. The seat support has a reduced weight and at the same time is intended to be able to be produced from low cost parts.

Abstract: A rail vehicle, in particular a lightweight motor car, has a vehicle head which contains a driver's cab, and a car body with a passenger compartment. The vehicle head is embodied as a self-supporting unit. Shock absorbing elements which operate in a telescopic fashion and which absorb the energy occurring during a collision are arranged underneath this vehicle head.
