  • Publication number: 20070259196
    Abstract: A sheet consisting of a carrier medium, where at least one antimicrobial substance is incorporated into the carrier medium, is, in view of the task of specifying a sheet that exhibits high reactivity of the antimicrobial substance, characterized by the fact that the substance is in colloidal and/or nanoscale form. Moreover, the sheet is characterized by the fact that the substance is contained in a layer that is at least area wise interrupted or consists of unconnected partial layers. Moreover, a use of the sheet as a cleaning article or in a cleaning article is described.

  • Publication number: 20070162288
    Abstract: A method for automatic creation of a spare part list for a product having a predetermined order code formed from a plurality of feature fields M1, M2, M3, etc. having corresponding attributes characterizing the product spare part codes of individual spare parts being stored in a file, which spare part codes correspond to the order codes of the product for which a respective spare part is suited. An order code is electronically input and those parts are automatically displayed on a computer unit, whose attributes agree with the attributes of the order code.

  • Publication number: 20060168897
    Abstract: A method for the production of a scouring body, whereby a hardenable binder is applied to a material web made from textile material, the material web is then run through at least one thermal hardening process with a heating zone and the material web is given a surface embossing in an embossing process by thermal moulding. The thermal moulding process for the embossing process is carried out between the application of the binder and a subsequent thermal hardening process for carrying out the final hardening of the binder.

  • Publication number: 20050251314
    Abstract: A controlling device with a sensor for the detection of a position of a window pane of the window lifter depending on a driving motion of an actuation is provided. The position signals generated by the sensor, for example by a path sensor or rotary pulse sensor, concern thereby the position of the window pane. Position signals are for example gained from a waviness of a driving power of a mechanically commuted electromotor. The sensor signals can thereby be evaluated by the controlling device. The controlling device includes an analogue or a digital computer unit which provides a function for the combined evaluation of the current position of the window pane and a condition of a roof of the motor vehicle. The evaluation can thereby occur for example by a respective logical circuit as computer unit, by a hard-wired program logic as computer unit or by a programmable computer unit.

  • Patent number: 6031348
    Abstract: An automatic power window system (10) includes a motor module (12) and a controller (14) physically remotely located from the motor module. The motor module and the controller are coupled by a first signal link (16) and a second signal link (18). The first signal link is arranged to carry a limited number of high priority communication data at high speed, while the second signal link is arranged to carry virtually any number of low priority communication data at low speed. The high priority communication data may represent an operating condition of the motor during automatic operation. The operating condition is preferably simply and reliably indicated by the presence, absence or transition of a signal on the first signal link. The low speed communication data represents a plurality of operating data each of which are indicated by a plurality of time-multiplexed signals.
