Abstract: A portable tool for mobile use includes a housing, an electric motor located in the housing, an insert shaft on the tool, and a battery. The battery or a terminal for connecting to an external energy source is located in the insert shaft. A mechanically or hydraulically driven movable piston rod is for performing spreading, cutting, lifting, and/or pressing. An electronic device controls and/or regulates the electric motor and includes a printed circuit board with a potting compound on which electronic components are arranged. An electrically conductive on the insert shaft allows a releasable electric contact between the battery and the electronic device of the tool by inserting the battery into the insert shaft. The contact is divided into a first and second surface regions. The first surface region is covered with a nonconductive protective layer, and the second surface region is free of the protective layer.

Abstract: An antenna device for automotive radar applications including an antenna assembly which comprises a front face in which at least one antenna aperture is arranged, configured to receive an incoming signal in form of primary rays impacting in the at least one antenna aperture. The front face of the antenna assembly further includes adjacent to the at least one antenna aperture scattering elements by which primary rays, impacting an area of the scattering elements, are at least partially reflected by the scattering elements and thereby separated into first secondary rays and second secondary rays, such that the first secondary rays and the second secondary rays cancel out each other at least partially by interference.

Abstract: A waveguide antenna with an antenna proximal side and an antenna distal side. A number of waveguide openings for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic signals to and/or from an environmental space is arranged at the antenna distal side. The waveguide antenna includes an antenna interface structure that includes interface waveguide apertures arranged in an interface carrying surface that extends transverse to a normal axis. Each interface waveguide aperture is coupled with at least one associated waveguide opening such that the respective interface waveguide aperture and the associated waveguide opening(s) are offset with respect to each other transverse to the normal axis. Each interface waveguide aperture and at least one coupled waveguide opening are configured for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic signals with respective polarizations rotated against each other.

Abstract: An apparatus (20) and method (10) for rendering a tree structure in a GUI depending on a position of a pointing cursor relative to the rendered tree use the cursor position with respect to the tree to control which tree branches to expand/collapse automatically. They reconfigure the tree view for compact presentation without need for explicit expand/collapse operations. A tree view is generated (11). A cursor position relative to the view is determined (14), consisting of first and second position values according to first and second directions. The branch the cursor position is aligned with according to the first direction is automatically selected as active branch (15). Sub-levels of that branch to be expanded are determined (16), depending on the second position value relative to indentations of the sub-levels, and the tree view is automatically updated by expanding the determined sub-levels of the active branch and collapsing other branches (17).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for rearrangement of media data using visual representations of the media data are described. A displaying unit displays visual representations of media data items in a temporal order according to temporal metadata of the media data items. An operation unit changes the position of the visual representation of a first media data item upon receipt of a user input. Automatically, the position of the visual representations of some other media data items are changed corresponding to the position change of the visual representation of the first media data item.

Abstract: A powertrain system includes a multi-mode transmission configured to transfer torque among an input member, torque machines and an output member. A method for controlling operation of the multi-mode transmission includes determining torque commands for the torque machines in response to a desired input speed of the input member and an output speed of the output member determined based upon an estimated wheel speed of a wheel of a driveline coupled to the output member. The estimated wheel speed of the wheel is set equal to a monitored wheel speed of the wheel upon detecting an abrupt decrease in the wheel speed. Torque commands are determined for the torque machines in response to the desired input speed and the monitored wheel speed.

Abstract: A novel method of cleaning and disinfecting organically contaminated articles such as, for instance, medical instruments, wherein the cleaning cycle consists of two sections divided by removal and replenishing the cleaning liquid, in each section of which the temperature of the cleaning liquid is raised to and maintained at between 40° C. and 60° C. for a predetermined time and the pH-value is raised to between 8.5 and 12 by adding an alkaline cleaning agent. During the second section a low-molecular peroxide compound is added to the cleaning liquid after the cleaning agent.
