Abstract: An actuator, including an electric drive for converting electrical signals into mechanical forces and/or deflections, is disclosed. The drive having at least one coil through which the current of the electrical signal can flow and having at least two magnets which can electromagnetically interact with the coil. The actuator being designed to excite a body which can be connected to the actuator, in particular a flat body, to vibrate, as a result of which the body can emit acoustic sound. The two magnets each being assigned at least one pole plate, the first and the second magnet, each with the at least one associated pole plate, forming at least one first and one second magnetic pole plate packet and the actuator having a frame in which the two magnetic pole plate packets are arranged in a substantially form-fitting manner.

Abstract: An actuator for exciting at least one component of a motor vehicle with vibrations. The actuator includes: a housing which is configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the component, an electrical coil which is connected to the housing and is configured to generate an electromagnetic field when an electric current flows through the coil, and a magnet which is entirely or partially arranged in the housing and the magnet is arranged so as to be movable to a limited extent relative to the housing. The housing has, all around, at least one electrically conductive ring which surrounds the magnet in respect of its undeflected state.

The actuator being designed to excite a body which can be connected to the actuator, in particular a flat body, to vibrate, as a result of which the body can emit acoustic sound. The two magnets are arranged such that they form a substantially straight air gap between them, the coil being arranged in the air gap.

Abstract: A sound emission arrangement, having a seat that has a backrest surface and a headrest surface, where the sound emission arrangement has at least one first and one second actuator for vibration excitation, where each of the two actuators is arranged in the seat, so that the first and the second actuator are each arranged with their excitation surface on the inner side of a covering of the headrest surface or the inner side of a covering of the backrest surface at substantially the same height.

Abstract: An actuator, including an electric drive for converting electrical signals into mechanical deflections, the drive having a coil through which the current of the electrical signal can flow, and having a permanent magnet which can be in electromagnetic interaction with the coil, the actuator furthermore has a housing and a flat body, the flat body being able to be mechanically deflected and/or mechanically excited into vibration by the electric drive and, in the process, being able to radiate acoustic sound signals, wherein the flat body is connected integrally to at least part of the housing and at least part of the drive is connected to the flat body.

Abstract: A method and system for managing data elements with associated attributes in a computer system is described. Identifiers of each data element and information identifying the attributes of each data element are stored and the identifiers associated with each of the data elements are displayed in a list. The identifiers of the data elements are visibly associated with attributes by displaying markers in attribute strips along at least one side of the list of data elements. A user may filter the data elements according to their attributes and a filtered list of data elements may be redisplayed. This can facilitate processing of numerous data elements, simplifying processing and/or display requirements to achieve a given selection based on user criteria.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high melt flow thermoplastic resin filled with long fibers, such as long glass fibers, stainless steel fibers, carbon fibers, aramid fibers, or other like fibers, and having high melt flow properties. The high melt flow properties of the thermoplastic resin contribute to its ease of production, allowing for the production of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic compositions having good dispersion and wet-out in the pellet and molded article, and characterized by low levels of loose fiber in the pellet and/or compound. Although any concentration of fibers may be present in the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composition, the high melt flow thermoplastic resins are especially suitable for high concentrate long glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic compositions.

Abstract: A modular moulding system uses slotted blocks which are first individually mounted on a support surface. A length of moulding runner is inserted deeply into the slot of one of the blocks, and then partially withdrawn while being inserted into the slot of the other block. In this manner, moulding can be assembled by one unskilled person working alone, and accuracy of the cut of moulding runners is not critical.
