Abstract: A method and a computer system for determining the relevance of a text. The method includes: determining the similarity of the text to texts in a portfolio, where the text is compared with each of the texts in the portfolio as part of an individual comparison while determining a similarity value which indicates the similarity between the two texts in each case; assigning the similarity value to one of the two texts in the respectively performed individual comparison which was published at an earlier time or was first captured by a capture system at an earlier time; calculating a relevance value from the similarity values which were determined in the individual comparisons and were assigned to the text, and storing the calculated relevance value and/or transmitting the calculated relevance value to a communication end system via a computer network.

The core elements are all oriented in the same direction relative to the housing inlet opening and the housing outlet opening.

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly for a motor vehicle includes a heat exchanger having at least one inlet tank, at least one outlet tank, and a plurality of exchanger tubes of an exchanger core. The exchanger tubes connect the inlet tank and the outlet tank and extend along a transverse axis that extends perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle. Each exchanger tube defines a fluid passage path for fluid. A first pair of adjacent exchanger tubes form a first air passage path therebetween for ambient air and a second pair of adjacent exchanger tubes form a second air passage path therebetween for ambient air. The first air passage path has an air flow resistance that is different from an air flow resistance of the second air passage path.

Abstract: An applicator for attaching a handle comprises three arms, each of which extends radially from the horizontal axis along an arm axis. Each of the arms comprises a cutter, a holder, and a displacer. The holder comprises a pneumatic interface for using negative pressure to hold or guide an endless band as well as the carrying handle that results therefrom. The displacer displaces the pneumatic interface along a direction defined by the arm axis.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a multipack includes forming groups on opposite sides of a transport section. The first forming group comprises a sliding carriage that moves along and transverse to a transport direction, a format part that forms a contact surface for engaging a container, and a guiding-and-holding element that detachably secures the format part to the sliding carriage. The first and second forming groups are movable along the transport direction and transverse to the transport direction such that contact surfaces of the first and second forming groups that are opposite each other are brought into contact with containers to move the containers along the transport direction and to press the containers against each other by moving transverse to the transport direction.

Abstract: A method controls a temperature control device of an accumulator of a motor vehicle feeding an electric motor. The method includes a check for the presence of an interaction with a communication input of the motor vehicle 1 and, in the presence of an interaction, outputs a control signal to a temperature control device designed for controlling the temperature of the accumulator to a target temperature in a predetermined temperature range. The control signal causes a change of the temperature control of the accumulator.
