Abstract: A technique for determining and compensating for a dead time of at least one actuator for lateral guidance or longitudinal guidance of a motor vehicle includes a device including at least one sensor or at least one sensor interface for detecting at least one actual value of a state of motion of the lateral guidance or longitudinal guidance. A unit of determination of the device is configured to determine the dead time of at least one actuator by comparing at least one target value of the state of motion calculated from a dynamic model with the recorded at least one actual value. A control unit of the device is configured to control the actuator depending on the detected state of motion and the certain dead time of at least one actuator, wherein the control unit outputs time-preceding control signals to the actuator around the dead time.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are drawn to mask personal protective equipment (PPE) with multiple adhesive portions that secure the mask around the nose and mouth of the wearer. In one exemplary embodiment, an air-permeable layer is configured to cover a nose and mouth of a wearer, a first adhesive layer is disposed on a first lateral edge portion of the air-permeable layer, and a second adhesive layer is disposed on a second lateral edge portion of the air-permeable layer to secures the air-permeable layer to the face of the wearer. The mask can also include ear loops or other fasteners that can work in conjunction with the adhesive portions, and the fasteners can be removed after the adhesive portions are applied to the wearer's face for added freedom.

Abstract: A machine for processing flat printing material, in particular a sheet processing rotary printing press, includes at least one processing station in the form of a printing unit, a feeder for loading the processing station with sheets of the printing material, a delivery for combining the processed sheets into piles, and an auxiliary pile carrier displaceable in an insertion direction from a standby position into an operational position and vice versa. Supporting members follow one another in the insertion direction and axially parallel swivel joints articulatingly connect the supporting members directly to one another. The supporting members have extensions projecting beyond the swivel joints thereof. One of the extensions directed counter to the insertion direction of a respective one of the supporting members engages underneath one of the extensions directed in the insertion direction of the respective supporting member after the next which trails in the insertion direction.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for overrunning control in an internal combustion engine are proposed, which operate with an overrunning cutoff and the reestablishment rpm of which is dependent on rpm and on time. At the onset of overrunning, a higher reestablishment rpm is selected, and once the rpm falls below a predetermined rpm value the reestablishment rpm is reduced according to a time function to a lower threshold value. The method may be realized by a controlled system, as well as by a control apparatus operating with analog circuitry.
