Abstract: A method for controlling a computer system for representing a crossword puzzle on a display includes providing descriptive fields of the crossword puzzle addressable via a keypad cursor or a pointer device for selecting a description text for display or making an entry. A descriptive field of the crossword puzzle is interactively selected so as to display the description text and/or play back an item of sound information and/or display an item of image information and/or display video information.

Abstract: A screw conveyor for the transport of, for example, pieces of clothing hanging on clothes hangers, comprises a screw shaft train (22) which may be rotated about the shaft axis (24) thereof, with a transport groove system (26), machined into the outer surface thereof along the shaft axis (24) in the form of a screw. The clothes hangers may be hung in the transport groove system (26), using the hanger hooks (20) thereof and axially transported by rotation of the screw shaft train (22). According to the invention, the transport groove system (26) comprises at least one primary transport groove (46, 48), from which a secondary transport groove (52, 54), preceding the primary transport groove (46, 48) in relation to the transport direction (16) of the goods for transport, branches at a branching position (62).

Abstract: A screw conveyor for transporting goods to be conveyed while hanging on hangers (10), in particular items of clothing hanging on clothes hangers, comprises a screw shaft strand (20) which is rotatably mounted about its shaft axis (22) and on whose outer surface a conveyor thread system (24) that winds in the manner of a screw around the shaft axis is formed. The hangers can be hooked into the conveyor thread system with upper hanger hooks (18) and can be conveyed axially therein in a conveying direction (14) as a result of rotation of the screw shaft strand. At least one separating region (52) used for separating the hangers (10) and having an individual conveyor groove (68) formed for the individually conveyance of the hangers is formed along the screw shaft strand.

Abstract: A process for a vehicle control and information system in which data and traffic-related information are transmitted by means of at least one radio-transmission system between a vehicle and a central unit. A data-processing unit in the central unit and/or a data-processing unit in the vehicle are used to calculate at least one route, and the route data is transmitted by means of the data-transmission system between the vehicle and the central unit. The data-processing unit in the central unit and/or the data-processing unit in the vehicle simulate in real time the motion of the vehicle, the real-time simulation being carried out both in the vehicle-mounted data-processing unit and in the data-processing unit in the central unit using signals which are it transmitted over the radio transmission system. The vehicle position in the real-time simulation of the motion of the vehicle is displayed in the vehicle together with additional information relevant to the traffic.
