Abstract: Method for rectifying images of an elongated, preferably translucent, object generated by means of an optical coherence tomography method having the following steps: a capturing step, in which at least one region of the object is captured in at least one first orientation (?1) in a first image and in at least one second, different, orientation (?2) in a second image, preferably by an optical coherence tomography method; and a determination step, wherein corresponding reconstruction images (R1, R2) of the region are generated on the basis of the captured images, wherein at least one refractive index (n1, n2, n3) is determined, preferably iteratively, for each of a plurality of layers of the object on the basis of spatial, reconstruction deviations (?exy) between the first and second reconstruction images, a rectification step, wherein a rectified overall reconstruction image is calculated based on the determined refractive indices (n1, n2, n3).

Abstract: A method for controlling an electric discharge machining process, wherein a tool electrode is moved relatively to a workpiece with a working gap distance, wherein the process includes a current and at least one previous erosion cycle, the current and the previous erosion cycle each being divided into predetermined time intervals each including at least one discharge pulse, wherein similar working gap conditions are present within a time interval of the previous erosion cycle and of the current erosion cycle, and wherein subsequent erosion cycles are separated by a process pause cycle.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for suppressing vibrations (18) in an installation comprising an actuator (14) for actuating a flap (12) or a valve (70) used for metering a gas or liquid volume flow (16), especially in the area of HVAC, fire protection, or smoke protection. Vibrations (18) of the flap (12) or valve (70) caused by an unfavorable or wrong adjustment or configuration of the controller and/or by disruptive influences are detected and dampened or suppressed by means of an algorithm (1) that is stored in a microprocessor (49). Said algorithm is preferably based on the components recognition of vibrations (46), adaptive filtering (48), and recognition of sudden load variations (50).
