  • Publication number: 20260149761
    Abstract: Programs run in different file module specific namespaces do not share the same file system. For every port number, there is both a TCP port and a UDP port. However, UDP ports are more rarely used. Additionally, UDP ports and TCP ports are in the same (network module specific) namespace. Accordingly, a test script attempts to reserve a UDP port with a particular port number. If the reservation is successful, the test script creates an instance of a program that will use the corresponding TCP port. If the reservation fails, another test script has already reserved that port and this test script tries a different port number. As a result of using the UDP port-based reservation scheme, test execution scripts are enabled to coordinate the reservation of TCP ports, consistent with operating system namespaces.

  • Publication number: 20260021567
    Abstract: An electric tool includes a drive unit for driving a tool unit in an operating state. A connection unit with at least one connection contact element transmits electrical energy from an energy supply device of the electric tool to the drive unit. A fan unit generates an air flow. A housing accommodates the drive unit, the connection unit, and the fan unit. A first air passage opening and a second air passage opening are formed on the housing. The first and second air passage openings are connected to one another with the fan unit via a duct for guiding the air flow along a flow direction. The duct is defined in sections by the connection unit and guides the air flow to dissipate heat generated at the connection unit from the housing while in the operating state. The electric tool is operable by a method.

  • Patent number: 12383337
    Abstract: A hand-guided modality is to be positioned with little effort or radiation load. To this end an object model is created from 3D data of an object. Moreover, a surface model of the object is created. Both models are registered to one another. Depending on a target region in the object model, a start position and a start orientation of the hand-guided modality are calculated. Moreover, a target image of the object is calculated on the basis of the object model, the target region and also the start position and start orientation. A real ultrasound image is further acquired from the start position and start orientation. A repositioning and/or re-orientation of the hand-guided modality is undertaken on the basis of a deviation between the ultrasound image and the target image.
