Abstract: The present invention provides an electric drive, including a stator (4) and a rotor (3), for a paper processing machine, in particular a printing press having at least two rotary subassemblies (1, 2), the stator (4) and the rotor (3) being separated from one another by an air gap. This electric drive is distinguished in that the one subassembly (1) contains the rotor (3) and the other subassembly (2) the stator (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to ethanol-containing pharmaceutical preparations for the production of propellant-free aerosols.

Abstract: An interference filter having a layer with an area consisting of a porous material extending from the surface of the layer to the interior, the dimensions of the porous layer area in a direction normal to the layer surface have different values to provide for varying reflection or, respectively, transmission characteristics.

Abstract: A porous layer produced from silicon, germanium or aluminum by applying a wedge-shaped mask to the surface of the layer and by controlled elecrochemical etching along the mask.

Abstract: A method of operating a lifting sucker which takes sheets off a pile, the sheets being picked up and lifted by suction, which comprises determining at least one of the physical variables characterizing the method and comparing it with an associated desired value, and initiating countermeasures if there are any deviations from the desired value; and a lifting device operated by the method.

Abstract: A multiplicity of components form a photodiode array on a substrate. Each of the components consists of a transistor of the p-n-p type with the outermost p-doped layer being transformed into an optical filter by control of the anodic etching operation utilizing transistor characteristics of the respective transistor. The result can provide red, blue and green filters in a color camera.

Abstract: A printing press drive system includes at least one drive having a motor with an external rotor equipped with permanent magnets, the one drive being assigned to at least one cylinder of the printing press for driving the cylinder, and with a stator provided with windings and firmly fixed to the side panel of the printing press, at least part of the drive system being implemented via a gear train, and the rotor having a gear rim at a perimeter thereof.

Abstract: A sheet transport system for a rotary printing press, including a sheet transport device having a sheet holder, and a first and a second propulsive drive element for propulsively driving the sheet transport device guidingly in a first and a second guide rail, respectively, the second guide rail extending substantially parallel to the first guide rail, the first and the second propulsive drive elements forming rotors of an electric linear drive, the first and the second guide rails having a plurality of drive stations disposed thereon and forming a stator of the linear drive, and a control device assigned to the drive stations for controlling and regulating movement of the first and the second propulsive drive elements, each of the first and second propulsive drive elements being a structure formed of magnetizable material, at least part of which is movable relative to another part thereof, and the drive stations being spaced from one another, at least in some sections of the sheet transport device, a distance

Abstract: A rotation-angle measurement for printing presses with at least one marking (2) arranged on a rotating element (1) and at least one sensor (3,4) which detects marking (2). The at least one marking (2) extends along the entire circumferential path (5) and is arranged on the element (1), the position of which is to be determined.

Abstract: A device and method for synchronizing at least two printing-unit groups (2, 3) which represent a sheet-fed printing machine (1). Between the two printing-unit groups (2, 3) there is provided a transfer unit (10) being operable by means of a separately controllable drive (12). The present invention is used in sheet-fed printing machines assembled in serial arrangement.

Abstract: The invention provides a system debugger for monitoring and controlling the operation of the multiprocessor. The debugger includes a view planning element that responds to operator input for generating a view signal specifying a subset of the first set of characteristics to be monitored. Likewise, a bundle planning element responds to operator input for generating a bundle signal specifying which functional units to be monitored. During operation of the multiprocessor, a runtime element monitors the operation of at least the functional units specified by the bundle signal to generate an output signal (e.g., for display on the user's monitor) representing values of the subset of characteristics specified by the view signal. The runtime element includes functionality for determining, for each of the specified functional units, which of its characteristics are in the specified subset.
