Abstract: The invention relates to a method for compressing an input data set, which comprises one or more input values, comprising the following steps: determining, for each input value, a tolerance range; generating encoded lossy values by a lossy encoding of the input values; generating output values associated with the input values, in particular by decoding the encoded lossy values; generating difference values by subtracting each decoded lossy value from the respectively associated input value; comparing each difference value with the respectively associated determined tolerance range; generating encoded correction values associated with the encoded lossy values on the basis of the difference values, wherein the encoded correction values are offset values, which can be added to the associated encoded lossy values; and providing an output data record as a function of a comparison of the difference values with the tolerance ranges and on the basis of the encoded lossy values and/or the encoded correction values.

Abstract: A bearing assembly includes first and second rolling-element bearings each having first and second bearing rings, a raceway and a flange element at both ends of the raceways. Two of the flange elements are formed on a common flange body, and the flange body is axially pressed onto cylindrical mounting surfaces of the first bearing rings of the first and second rolling-element bearings and held in place by a press fit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a computer program product for generating a high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) voxel data set of an object. The high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) voxel data set is generated with the aid of a computed tomography scanner. In some aspects of the present disclosure a 3D image data set is generated by acquiring computed tomography images of the object. In other aspects of the present disclosure the 3D voxel data set of the object is generated with the aid of an image data reconstruction algorithm.

Abstract: Contactless determination of electrical parameters. The examples describe a method and apparatus for determining electrical parameters of assemblies (printed circuit boards and as well as passive components) by the contactless determination of the spatial distribution of material. The spatial distribution of material (two-dimensional or three dimensional), is determined for example by measurement by radiographic technology with an X-ray machine or a computer tomography or by an optical instrument. The electrical parameter is determined in each volume element whose size is determined by the resolution of the method used for determining the material distribution, or a partial structure of the conductive structure.

Abstract: A programmable synchronizing unit for a signal receiver has a received data memory for buffering received data, a correlation value data memory for storing correlation values, a data path for correlating the received data with the correlation values, a result data memory for buffering the received data correlated with the correlation values by means of the data path, and a control unit for addressing the received data memory, the result data memory and the correlation value data memory (26) and for controlling the data path as a function of a synchronization program which is stored in a program memory.

Abstract: A device for carrying out search procedures includes a memory for storing a digital received data sequence, and a memory storing a predetermined correlation data sequence. A correlation device has a first section, in which sequence elements of the received data sequence are correlated with sequence elements of the correlation data sequence. A variable number K of sequence element correlation results are summed in the second section, in order to form an accumulated correlation result.

Abstract: The novel synchronous feedback digital circuit has a minimized switching power loss. A data input receives an input data stream. A multiplicity of logic circuits and clocked registers are connected in a feedback loop between the data input and a data output. A clock generator generates an operating clock signal and a signal generating device generates phase-shifted clock signals for the clocked registers.
