Abstract: In measuring devices (1) including measuring sensors (2) on a distal end (3) of a shaft (4), it is also provided to configure at least one distance sensor (7, 8, 9) and/or an acceleration sensor (16) on this distal end (3), in order to enable an automatic distance measurement and/or determination of the position and/or the orientation of the measuring sensor (2) within a measuring range (6), and thus the recording of spatially resolved measured values.

Abstract: A sensor kit (11) having a sensor unit (2) and at least one sensor unit retention member (1). A magnetically active region (5) is formed on the sensor unit retention member (1) and the sensor unit (2) has a magnetic field sensor (6). A relative position of the magnetically active region (5) with respect to the sensor unit (2) can be established based in detecting the magnetically active region (5).

Abstract: In order to prolong maintenance-free and autonomous operation of an electrical measuring device (1) having an internal energy store (4) and measuring electronics (3) for reading a sensor (2), wherein the latter is configured for detecting an ambient variable such as, for instance, a room temperature or room humidity, it is provided that as needed, in a manner dependent on an ambient temperature detected by the measuring device (1), a buffer capacitor (5) is electrically connected to the energy store (4) such that the buffer capacitor (5) can draw electrical power from the energy store (4) and can make this power available again, in particular in the event of a dip in an electrical operating voltage of the measuring device (1), in order thus to buffer current peaks of a load current of the measuring electronics (3).

Abstract: A measuring apparatus (13) that is able to be put together from an assembly kit, wherein the assembly kit has at least two sensor units (1), which are each fashioned for measuring different variables, and at least two communication units (6), which each have different interfaces for data transmission, and each of the sensor units (1) is detachably connectable to each of the communication units (6) of the assembly kit by a mechanical coupling (7).

Abstract: The task of relevance score assignment to a set of items onto which an artificial neural network is applied is obtained by redistributing an initial relevance score derived from the network output, onto the set of items by reversely propagating the initial relevance score through the artificial neural network so as to obtain a relevance score for each item. In particular, this reverse propagation is applicable to a broader set of artificial neural networks and/or at lower computational efforts by performing same in a manner so that for each neuron, preliminarily redistributed relevance scores of a set of downstream neighbor neurons of the respective neuron are distributed on a set of upstream neighbor neurons of the respective neuron according to a distribution function.

Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation and use of polyfluoro-alkylsilanes of formula (I) 1

Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-melt adhesive substance for sticking together fibrous materials such as matted nonwovens or woven textiles with smooth substrate surfaces, such as plastic or metal films, and for laminating said materials. Said substance is characterized in that it contains at least one polyolefin which has been produced by polymerization in the presence of metallocene as a catalyst and has a ring/ball softening point of between 50 and 165° C. and a melting viscosity, measured at a temperature of 170° C., of between 20 and 40,000 mPa-s. The hot-melt adhesive substance can also contain at least one adhesive component and is used in a quantity of between 3 and 6 g/m2, preferably between 4 and 5.5 g/m2, for sticking a film to a nonwoven material during the production of hygiene items such as disposable nappies, baby nappies, incontinence products, panty liners and/or sanitary towels.
