Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting damage to a steering system, wherein values of moisture in the steering system are determined with a sensor within the steering system, wherein the damage is detected as a function of the values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a glufosinate-containing formulation having good cold stability, to the use of 1-methoxy-2-propanol to improve the cold stability of a formulation comprising glufosinate, and to a method for selectively controlling weeds in an area comprising applying an effective amount of the inventive formulation.

Abstract: A control device, in particular a steering control device, includes (i) an electronics unit that has at least two separate and mutually independent subsystems for controlling an electric motor and/or for detecting at least one operating variable of the electric motor, and (ii) a printed circuit board on which the electronics unit is arranged. The printed circuit board has at least one electrically non-conductive separating section which electrically separates the two subsystems from one another.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface and a control circuit. The interface may be configured to (i) receive sensor-based information from a plurality of sensor signals from a vehicle platform of a vehicle and environmental information about an environment of the vehicle, and (ii) present one or more control signals to the vehicle platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to an agrochemical composition comprising a compound of formula (I) [R-(A)x-OSO3?]-M+ (I); wherein M+ is a monoethanolammonium cation, and wherein the further variables have a meaning as defined herein. It also relates to an adjuvant solution comprising said compound of formula (I) and an organic solvent. Other objects are a compound of formula (I), wherein R is a linear alkyl and M+ is ethanolammonium and wherein the other variables have a meaning as defined herein; and a method of controlling undesired vegetation, and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the agrochemical composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment, or the crop plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on the crop plants and/or on their environment.

Abstract: A fixation pin for fixing a dental drill template. The fixation pin has a head having a bearing surface that is intended to bear at least partially on the drill template, or a sleeve provided in the drill template. The fixation pin has a rod having a shape of an essentially circular cylinder and extending from the bearing surface at an essentially right angle. The rod is intended to be inserted into the drill template or the sleeve provided in the drill template.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preparing an agrochemical composition comprising the steps of preparing a premix by contacting a solid water-insoluble pesticide and a hydrophobin and preparing a raw suspension by milling the premix; an agrochemical composition which is obtainable by said method; a use and method of application of hydrophobin for reducing the toxicity of a solid water-insoluble pesticide; a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants; and seed containing said suspension.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bumper system with which the requirements for compatibility between motor vehicles can be accommodated. In particular the invention relates to a bumper system for a motor vehicle which has a force distributing element (10) and which is characterized in that in at least two planes at different heights there are force absorbing components (20, 13) on the motor vehicle (2) and the force distributing element (10) is mounted on the force absorbing components (20, 13) and connects the force absorbing components (20, 13).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the automatic pattern recognition in a sequence of electronic data by means of a electronic data processing in a data processing system, during which the sequence of electronic data is compared with parameterised model data representing at least one sample sequence, in an analysis and where at least one sample sequence is recognised if training data is processed to a set of characteristic vectors of the same length and with the same information content, from which the parameterised model data is derived, by means of a dynamic time warping method during the formation of the parameterised model data, if it has been established during the analysis that the model data enclosed by the parameterised model data, which are allocated to at least one sample sequence, occurs with a level of similarity exceeding the similarity threshold.
