Abstract: In order to check the operation of graphics generation carried out with safety-relevant raw data, in particular sensor data, for instance by geometric transformation and image filtering, test vectors are also processed in addition to the preprocessed raw data. The resulting video data are compared with the expected values in order to infer therefrom possible malfunctions. This eliminates complex back calculation of the video data for comparison with the graphics instructions or raw data on which the video data is based.

Abstract: In a longitudinally installed four wheel drive train of a motor which includes a front drive shaft, which transmits the engine driving torque to the front axle from the rear end of the vehicle transmission the front drive shaft comprises at least at its rear end two opposite radially projecting pins extending into longitudinal grooves formed in a gear wheel of a front drive structure so as to be axially movably and pivotally supported therein.

Abstract: The devices and methods of the art do not readily allow moistening of, removing gas bubbles from and/or increasing the transfer of material in through bores and/or pocket holes in printed circuit boards (PCB). Considerable problems are presented by the treatment of very narrow bores with high aspect ratios in particular. To overcome this problem a method was found that involves the following stages: the printed circuit boards PCB are passed through a processing plant on a horizontal conveying path and in one conveying plane 2 by means of transportation means 13, 14 and are thereby brought to contact a liquid for treatment, wherein mechanical pulses are directly transmitted to the printed circuit boards PCB via the transportation means 13, 14 and/or via the liquid for treatment by means of pulse generating means 50.

Abstract: In an arrangement of a running roller on a coupling journal of a coupling half of a moveable shaft coupling, a radial rolling bearing, the inner ring of which is connected to the coupling journal by a ball joint, is inserted into the running roller. In order to maintain an additional degree of freedom for the relative movements of the coupling journal in relation to the complementary coupling half in the directions perpendicular to the central axis of the latter, either the running face of the running roller is configured cylindrically or the rolling bearing is configured as a loose bearing.

Abstract: Tripod joints have a joint outer part and a joint inner part which are in driving connection to each other with cylindrical rolling bodies being connected in between and axial displacement and pivotability being ensured. In this case, the rolling bodies extend in rectilinear, guiding running paths of the joint outer part. The rolling bodies are mounted in a manner such that they may be displaced longitudinally via the cages but to a restricted extend radially with respect to the pressure element. The radial extent of the running paths or mating surfaces is greater than the longitudinal extent of the rolling bodies. This enables the rolling bodies to move on a path in the shape of a circular arc. The arrangement provides an improved, mechanical transmission function of the tripod joint and reduced wear as a result. The tripod joint is suitable for the displaceable and pivotable driving connection of two shaft ends, e.g., in conjunction with drive trains or side shafts of motor vehicles.

Abstract: In a motor-vehicle drive train containing a differential, which has an differential input part and two differential output parts, a friction clutch with a limited transmittable torque is arranged between two of the differential parts, so that, with a small predetermined difference in torque between the two coupled differential parts, said friction clutch can slip to accommodate torque shocks. A temperature-dependent adjusting means is provided, which reduces the clutch engagement pressure with increasing clutch temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for the electrochemical treatment of electrically mutually insulated, electrically conductive areas on an item to be treated by means of a treatment liquid. Insulated, for example etched structures on circuit boards cannot be treated electrochemically with known methods since there exists no electrical connection to the bath current source from individual areas. According to the invention, this connection is produced by brushes which touch the structured surfaces to be treated with their electrically conductive and thin fibres. A large number of brushes which are arranged transversely to the direction of transportation take care of the fact that all the electrically conductive areas on the item to be treated which are arranged in an insulated manner from one another are contacted electrically at least one after another and that the achieved contact time is sufficiently long.

Abstract: A process and apparatus are disclosed for controlling the flow of operations in electroplating plants with horizontal throughflow in which the parts to be electroplated, in particular plate-shaped parts, pass through the plant in succession and are electroplated by means of currents applied by anodes. In order to prevent undesirable, increased precipitation on the front faces or edges of parts to be electroplated which follow each other at undesirable distances apart, or at least to reduce this precipitation to an acceptable level, the position of the parts which pass through the plant in succession and/or the distances between these parts are detected and the application of the electroplating currents is controlled as a function of these positions and/or distances by switching the anodes on and off, in such a manner that the flux density is approximately the same in all regions of the parts.
