  • Patent number: 8525488
    Abstract: A method and device for charging and/or discharging a capacitive element. A controllable switch is driven to interrupt the charging current when the charging current exceeds a predetermined charging-current threshold. The charging-current threshold is altered while the capacitive element is being charged to the predefined charging voltage. The controllable switch is driven again for coupling the charging current into the capacitive element if a predefined period of time after a previous activation of the controllable switch has elapsed, and/or in case the charging current drops below the predetermined charging-current threshold. A discharging process is carried out correspondingly.

  • Patent number: 8464224
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide for testing an application, and include loading a testing tool by a client that is in communication with an application server that executes the application, introducing probe code into a routine by a first component of the testing tool, the routine being called during execution of the application, and transmitting a request to the application using a second component of the testing tool. An elapsed time of an execution of the routine is determined based on the probe code, and a response is generated from the application server based on the request. A response time is determined based on the request and the response, and performance statistics are calculated based on the elapsed time and the response time.

  • Publication number: 20120032556
    Abstract: A method for operating an output stage for a piezoactuator includes checking, during an operating phase, in response to the undershooting of a current for the piezoactuator below a setpoint current, whether a point in time for the undershooting lies outside or within a time window. A subsequent current pulse is controlled via the setpoint current if the point in time is located outside the time window, and the subsequent current pulse is controlled via a turn-on time if the point in time is located within the time window.

  • Patent number: 7563512
    Abstract: In a known component having a reflector layer, the surface of a base body of quartz glass is covered at least in part with a reflector layer. Starting from this, to provide a component, particularly for use in lamp and reflector manufacture, which is equipped with an efficient, chemically and thermally resistant and, nevertheless, inexpensive reflector layer, it is suggested according to the invention that an SiO2 cover layer should be provided which acts as a diffuse reflector and consists of at least partly opaque quartz glass.

  • Patent number: 7412349
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for an interface that generates a report including a series of load test results. An interface can generate such a report that includes a series of load test results by initiating load testing of a first and second application during a first and second test run, and initiating combining of test results of the first and second test runs. The report can individually characterize the test results as members of a series of test runs. Load testing and combining of test results can be initiated at a single interface.

  • Patent number: 7246815
    Abstract: An airbag unit for motor vehicles, with a tubular gas generator, tied to a motor vehicle structure, for generating a filling gas for a gas bag. The tubular gas generator is displaceable in the direction of its tube axis in relation to the motor vehicle structure and being in interaction with a deformation element which, under the action of a force which is greater than or equal to a defined minimum force, is deformed and makes it possible for the tubular gas generator to be displaced along its tube axis.
