Abstract: A measuring arm for a coordinate measuring machine, having a support structure, wherein the support structure includes a fastening section for fastening the measuring arm on a movable slide of the coordinate measuring machine, having a measuring head for acquiring measured values on a component to be measured. The measuring head is mounted on the support structure, and the support structure includes an auxiliary mass damper for oscillation damping.

Abstract: A gate-drive controller for a power semiconductor device includes a master control unit (MCU) and one or more comparators that compare the output signal of the power semiconductor device to a reference value generated by the MCU. The MCU, in response to a turn-off trigger signal, generates a first intermediate drive signal for the power semiconductor device and generates a second intermediate drive signal, different from the first drive signal, when a DSAT signal indicates that the power semiconductor device is experiencing de-saturation. The MCU generates a final drive signal for the power semiconductor when the output signal of the one or more comparators indicates that the output signal of the power semiconductor device has changed relative to the reference value. The controller may also include a timer that causes the drive signals to change in predetermined intervals when the one or more comparators do not indicate a change.

Abstract: The techniques described herein include data security systems and methods adapted to protect stored data from unauthorized access. Encryption keys can be maintained on a removable media that allow an authorized user of an agent computing device to access encrypted portions of the removable media. The agent computing device controls access using predefined access control information. An access elimination command communicated to the agent computing device can prevent further access to encrypted data on the removable media.
