Abstract: A method for determining mass flow according to the differential pressure method on an internal combustion engine, includes calculating a mass flow signal by using sensors of a mass flow meter to measure a differential pressure, an absolute pressure and a temperature of the mass flow. The mass flow signal is filtered by an evaluation unit of the mass flow meter and the filtered mass flow signal is sent to an engine control. The filter parameters are matched to a measurement situation by the evaluation unit. In a first measurement situation, the filter parameters are set on the basis of an analysis of pulsations of the current measured values and in a second measurement situation, the filter parameters are set on the basis of status data of the internal combustion engine transmitted by the engine control unit. A mass flow meter and a probe are also provided.

Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer includes a housing and a piezo element. The piezo element is inserted into a cavity of the housing and the housing has a covering which covers the cavity. A spring element is disposed between the covering and the piezo element. The spring element applies a spring force onto the piezo element and the covering has a plurality of conductor tracks or paths which contact through or plate through the covering. An assembly for insertion into the housing and a method for assembling an ultrasonic transducer are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method to install a software enhancement supplement of a main software product, the method including receiving an installation recommendation for the supplement having content including a business configuration (BC) object on a customer/service provider side of a business process platform from a product provider; displaying an indication of the receipt of the installation recommendation; processing the installation of the supplement into the business process platform of the customer; and providing a notification of the supplement's status upon completion of the supplement installation.

Abstract: The static pressure, the differential pressure, and the temperature must be known in order to be able to determine the mass flow rate, the volumetric flow under standard conditions, or the enthalpy flow of a fluid. Desired variables are detected by individual sensors located in an integrated sensor unit, and the values detected by the individual sensors are then processed in a computing unit that is also integrated in the sensor unit. The sensor unit outputs a value, which also takes other parameters and/or physical constants into account, to a control unit that is connected downstream. Some of the computing is advantageously done in the sensor unit so that some load is relieved from the control unit.

Abstract: Ram pressure probe having two ducts which are separated from one another and lead with one of their ends to a pressure measuring sensor, with a fluidic differential pressure increasing element and an opening at the respective other end of each duct, the openings being arranged at various locations between which there is a higher value for the differential pressure, generated by the effect of the differential pressure increasing element, than the value of the dynamic pressure of the flowing fluid, and all the openings (9a, 9b) are arranged in such a way that the vertical axis passes through the opening surface at an angle to the direction (S) of flow which prevails during the measuring process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dynamic pressure probe for universal use, which enables different types of mounting of the connection lines without complex adapters and/or round arches. The dynamic pressure probe comprises a probe head inside of which channels run, which lead to the part of the probe that, during a measurement, is located in the medium to be measured, and which lead to adapters mounted on the probe head, said probe head having a rectangular cross-section. The axes of the channels are located on the diagonals that run between two corners of the probe head, and the channels can be reached from two outer surfaces of the probe head via transversal boreholes.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an integrated content marketplace for software content services are described herein. According to one embodiment, multiple categories of application content are displayed, each category including content items to be browsed and each of the content items selectable to be deployed in an enterprise application. In response to a search request for searching a content item, the categories are searched based on one or more keywords and a search result is displayed. In response to a demand from a user, a request form is presented to allow a user to specify one or more requirements of a specific content item not available from the categories, where the specific content item is to be developed specifically tailored to a specific need of the user. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

Abstract: A method for ultrasonic measurement of the running time and quantity of a flowing fluid is provided, in which the running time of an ultrasonic signal (70) is measured counter to and in a direction of the flow (5), wherefrom the flow rate of the fluid is determined. Reflections of the ultrasonic signal (70) from particles in the fluid are also detected in order to determine a concentration of particles. A device for carrying out the method includes two ultrasonic transducers which can be switched from a transmission mode to a reception mode. The ultrasonic transducers in the transmission mode transmit ultrasonic signals that are received by the ultrasonic transducers in the reception mode once the signal (70) has penetrated the fluid to be analyzed. At least one of the ultrasonic transducerscan be switched from the transmission mode to the reception mode so that it can receive reflections (E1, E2, E3) of its transmitted signal. Additional transducers can be provided that also receive the reflections.
