Abstract: A method of testing an impedance-sensitive system with a switching device, wherein the method comprises: switching the disconnecting device into the on-state configured to permit transmission of energy via the coil; implementing a first measurement with the impedance-sensitive system; switching the disconnecting device into the off-state configured to permit damping of the external positioning signal that couples into the coil so as to reduce the undesirable oscillations of the coil; implementing a second measurement with the impedance-sensitive system; performing a comparison of the first measurement and the second measurement; performing a verification of the comparison with a target specification; and displaying a correct function and/or a malfunction depending on the verification.

Abstract: An angular hand power tool has a longitudinal part, a driven part arranged at an end of the longitudinal part substantially transversely to the latter, an angle transmission with a housing, connecting the driven part and the longitudinal part with one another, so that the transmission and the housing together form an angle head, the longitudinal part being provided with a gripping region, and a plastic element provided in a gripping region and covering the angle head, the covering element having a shape, a surface and a material selected so as to form a second integral handle which can be reliably gripped.

Abstract: On a circuit arrangement for a motor vehicle that is equipped with a multitude of functional modules, which are connected with a joint gateway via at least two bus systems, the gateway is equipped with a receiving channel and a transmitting channel, respectively, for each bus system. The gateway contains testing instruments, which monitor the successful transmission of data to a functional module of a data bus system and/or the successful reception of data from a functional module of a data bus system. The gateway is also equipped with blocking instruments, which block the receiving channel if transmission was not successful and/or block the transmitting channel if reception was not successful.

Abstract: An apparatus for making wreaths utilizing a wreath frame having a plurality of upstanding clips for receiving and being crimped about a bunch of greens. The apparatus includes a support structure having a work surface, with a pair of opposed pivotable jaws disposed adjacent the work surface. The jaws are pivotable between an open position for receiving a clip therebetween, and a closed position in which the jaws crimp the clip about the bunch of greens. An actuator mechanism is provided for causing the jaws to pivot from their open position to their closed position. The actuator mechanism is operable by the operator of the apparatus pushing the actuator mechanism away from his or her body with a foot, which can be accomplished from a sitting position. The jaws are provided with a face portion, with each face portion having a groove for accepting and retaining a clip therein during movement of the jaws from the open to closed positions.
