Abstract: Techniques are described for detecting a specified substance in an examination object by way of a magnetic resonance apparatus. A controller ascertains a magnetic resonance sequence comprising at least one sub-sequence for detecting at least one substance to be detected in the examination object as a function of the at least one substance to be detected, and ascertains at least one measuring instant for capturing a respective MRT signal to detect the at least one substance to be detected in the examination object as a function of the at least one substance to be detected. The at least one MRT signal is evaluated for fulfillment of a predetermined detection condition, and a presence of the at least one substance to be detected is established when the at least one MRT signal fulfils the predetermined detection condition.

Abstract: A system and approach for diagnostic visualizations of, for example, building control systems data. A focus may be on a similarity metric for comparing operations among sites relative to energy consumption. Normalizing factors may be used across sites with varying equipment consumption levels to be compared automatically. There may also be a high level overview of an enterprise of sites. For instance, consumption totals of the sites may be normalized by site size and length of time of a billing period to identify such things as outlier sites. One may use a main view of geographic distribution dynamically linked to subviews showing distribution by size, by aggregated climate, and so on. With these views, one may quickly drill through the enterprise and identify sites of interest for further investigation. A key metric may be intensity which invokes viewing virtually all sites by normalized consumption for a unit amount of time.

Abstract: An approach for site prioritization and then a review and prioritization of the alarms at the site. A feature may to first find the site most in need of attention and then check the alarms of that site. A rule algorithm may determine a prioritization of site according to primitive rules which can be customized and modified nearly at any time making site priority a dynamic determination. At the site, the alarms may be ordered by criticality.

Abstract: A level control for vehicles has at least one air spring cushioning a vehicle body relative to a vehicle axle. A compressed air generator is connected to the air spring by an air dryer and to the atmosphere by a check valve opening in the intake direction of the generator. The air spring can be connected to the atmosphere for discharge via a pneumatically controllable first directional valve. The air spring pressure is applied to a pneumatic control input of the first directional valve via a second controllable directional valve. The input of the first directional valve can be connected to the atmosphere for ending discharge of the spring. A line with a compressed air accumulator branches off from the air spring supply line via a first changeover valve. The accumulator is connected to the intake side of the generator via a second changeover valve.

Abstract: A computer system on a network uses IP multicast to recruit other computer systems to share in the processing of a job. When a computer system has a job to share, it recruits other computer systems to help process the job by sending a message that corresponds to a request to share the job to an IP multicast router. The candidate computer systems that receive the recruiter's broadcast determine if they can share the job according to one or more job sharing parameters. These parameters may relate to the job itself, network performance, security, or other criteria for sharing. If a computer system meets the parameters for taking on the particular job, it responds to the recruiter. The computer system then performs the job (or task) and returns the results to the recruiter.

Abstract: A vent assembly (50) for an electronic control module (28) is provided. The vent assembly (50) may be adheringly coupled to a printed circuit board (38). The vent assembly (50) being adapted to prevent the ingress of moisture and permit the egress of certain gases.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for an adhesive assembly for securing a printed circuit board to a substrate. The assembly provides a printing tool with a plurality of apertures defined therethrough. Preferably, the apertures have a top opening with a larger area than a bottom opening. The printing tool is placed upon one of the printed circuit board and/or substrate, and a liquid adhesive is printed onto the printing tool. The liquid adhesive forms islands of adhesive within each aperture. Removing the printing tool deforms each island to form a raised edge at a periphery of each island. A temporary liner can be placed on the raised edges to protect the adhesive until the printed circuit board can be assembled with the substrate.

A plurality of grooves are cut into the bending region. The grooves are cut substantially parallel to an axis about which the bending region is bent. Preferably, the grooves are located on an inside bending radius of the circuit board, but can be located on the outside radius or both.

Abstract: A method for vertical removal of excess solder from a circuit substrate includes the use of a sacrificial circuit substrate with a plurality of pads and vias that are solder-wettable. The pads and vias of the sacrificial circuit substrate are placed in vertical proximity to the excess solder of the circuit substrate. The excess solder is heated until it is liquid, wherein the excess solder is wicked vertically onto the pads and into the vias of the sacrificial circuit substrate. Thereafter, the sacrificial circuit substrate is lifted from the proximity of the circuit substrate while the solder is in a liquid, taking the excess solder with it but leaving a predetermined amount on the circuit substrate.

Abstract: A flexible circuit board assembly comprising a flexible circuit board having a first portion and a second portion separated by a bendable region and a substantially rigid substrate having a first portion and a second portion separated by a bend region. The rigid substrate has an inside surface and an outside surface. The first and second portions of the circuit board are affixed to the respective first and second portions of the substrate such that when the substrate is bent the bendable region of the circuit board must also bend. The bend region has a recess extending outwardly from the inside surface of the substrate, and the recess is sized to accept the bendable region of the circuit board around a single bend axis when the substrate is bent. The recess provides for a larger bend radius of the circuit board reducing stress.
