Abstract: A flat-screen display system is providing having a transmitting unit that includes a power supply, a display signal generating unit, a transmitter for transmission of the display signal and for transmission of the supplied power; and a receiving unit that includes a receiver for receiving the transmitted display signal and wirelessly coupling to the power supplied from the transmitter for power supply of the receiving unit, a control unit that decodes the received display signal, and a display that displays the decoded display signal.

Abstract: A control device of a motor vehicle, which control device receives, from at least one body-side sensor, a vibration actual value of at least one corresponding body-side reference point and receives, from at least one chassis-side sensor, a vibration actual value of at least one corresponding chassis-side reference point, the control device making a decision on the reference point or points for which actuating signals for the actuators of the active assembly bearings are generated, and on which vibration desired value is used, in such a manner that the respective vibration actual value follows the respective vibration desired value.

Abstract: A distributed residue checking apparatus for a floating point unit having a plurality of functional elements performing floating-point operations on a plurality of operands. The distributed residue checking apparatus includes a plurality of residue generators which generate residue values for the operands and the functional elements, and a plurality of residue checking units distributed throughout the floating point unit. Each residue checking unit receives a first residue value and a second residue value from respective residue generators and compares the first residue value to the second residue value to determine whether an error has occurred in a floating-point operation performed by a respective functional element.

Abstract: A support in the form of a high directional having a configurable number of telescoping legs is disclosed. The support provides a head and a plurality of telescoping legs, the head having a plurality of head units and each head unit having at least one associated leg depending therefrom. Each head unit being adapted to be coupled to at least two other head units.
