Abstract: The invention relates to a novel type of electric inductance arrangement for a series of applications in the field of distance measurement, sensor-based detection of objects, and construction of induction machines. The novelty consists in the type of inductance arrangement of the receiver or transmitter coil, said arrangement being designed in the form of a ladder rung arrangement, wherein the ladder spars short-circuit the rungs. The sum of all the short-circuit currents is an indicator of what is occurring in the surroundings of the arrangement. This could be changing magnetic fields caused by transmitter objects or additional ladder-rung systems acting as transmitters.

Abstract: Systems and associated methods for highly parallel processing of parameterized simulations are described. Embodiments permit processing of stochastic data-intensive simulations in a highly parallel fashion in order to distribute the intensive workload. Embodiments utilize methods of seeding records in a database with a source of pseudo-random numbers, such as a compressed seed for a pseudo-random number generator, such that seeded records may be processed independently in a highly parallel fashion. Thus, embodiments provide systems and associated methods facilitating quicker data-intensive simulation by enabling highly parallel asynchronous simulations.

Abstract: A belt buckle for a vehicle seat belt. The belt buckle includes a frame in which at least one locking element adapted to lock a plug-in tongue insertable into the belt buckle and an ejection element adapted to eject the plug-in tongue are provided. Each of the ejection element and the locking element is adapted to adopt a locked position and a home position. The locking element is adjacent to a web of the ejection element in the home position and thus blocked in its home position. The front end of the web has a ramp-like bearing surface against which the locking element slidingly engages.
