Abstract: The invention relates to a subframe for a motor vehicle, comprising an upper shell, a lower shell made from a fiber-reinforced plastic and a rib structure for stiffening the upper shell, wherein the upper shell is composed of a metallic material and the rib structure is composed of a plastic reinforced with short fibers and is formed integrally from the lower shell. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a subframe, wherein the lower shell together with the rib structure connected integrally therewith is formed from a stack of plies of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic and joined to an upper shell made from a metallic material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for planning an automation system project, a method for authenticating a user during access to an automation device in an automation system, an automation system and a computer program for planning an automation system project. To improve the security concept in automation systems, the provision of a single sign-on authentication method for an automation system is proposed. A user is thus able to simultaneously register at all automation devices within an automation project using a single authentication. A fundamental part of the invention is thus to centrally project plan the single sign-on method. In other words, the basic provision of the basis for the subsequent authentication already takes place during the project planning of the automation project based on a project database. This procedure allows the realization of a single sign-on method for the complete projected automation system and thus simultaneously for all automation devices contained in the automation system.

Abstract: In a method of making a component for a motor vehicle, a metal part in the form of a plate, semifinished product, or a formed part, is heated in a fluidized bed of a fluidized bed furnace. The fluidized bed is being fluidized by a fluid, e.g. gas. Subsequently; the metal part is subjected to a forming, hardening or aging process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for access licensing for an automation device. In order to simplify access licensing for an automation device it is proposed to use client-side licenses. Thus the license is no longer linked to the automation device.

Abstract: There is described a method for the dynamic generation of internet pages, a computer program and a computer system for carrying out said method. Internet pages are thus mostly generated when requested by a client. Script languages such as ASP or PHP are used which have a high demand for hardware resources. Computer systems with limited hardware resources, in particular, integrated systems cannot however make use of the above. A flexible and resource-saving generation of internet pages has to be achieved. Said aim is achieved by means of preparing a static internet page for the client and to prepare an add-on for the variable content components. The add-on piece is generated with a standard parser, a data file and a template. The static internet page links to the data file and this to the template. Alternatively the static internet page links to both the data file and the template.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method called autotopology of a network or advertising based network management which enables the analysis and automatic graphical and hierarchical representation of any hierarchical or flat network topology, especially a switched Ethernet (SE). The autotopology can be used for self-configured networks (for example by using zeroconf) and for any otherwise configured networks, especially using DHCP or manually configured networks. The use of zeroconf is called autoconfiguration. Autoconfiguration and autotopology enable a comfortable and safe administration of a network. Administration of a self-configured network using the autotopology data proceeds in a separate and low-priority sub-network (link local) so that the productive operation of the network remains undisturbed. The topology of the network is used as a clear possibility of administering a network. Administration of the network is possible immediately after determination of the topology.

Abstract: A vehicle is armored the steps of sequentially making a steel plate with a thickness of 4 mm to 15 mm of by weight 0.2 to 0.4% carbon, 0.3 to 0.8% silicon, 1.0 to 2.5% manganese, max. 0.02% phosphorous, max. 0.02% sulfur, max. 0.05% aluminum, max. 2% copper, 0.1 to 0.5% chromium, max. 2% nickel 0.1 to 1% molybdenum, 0.001 to 0.01% boron, 0.01 to 1% tungsten, max. 0.05% nitrogen, and balance iron and impurities. This plate is heated to above the AC3 temperature and deformed without cooling in a press. While still in the press, the steel plate is cooled and cured. Then the deformed and cured steel plate is taken out of the press and mounted on the motor vehicle without significant further working or shaping.

Abstract: Lightweight, programmable marking apparatus for moving a marking head to coordinate positions utilizing two fixed stepper motors performing in conjunction with a belt and pulley drive and cam drive systems. The dynamics of pneumatically driven marking pins within marking heads are accommodated for by dual guide rods mounted on marking base frame and material contacting standoffs. Improved marking head structure is provided utilizing a polyetherimide material and the use of an internal spring, rather than air pressure, to retract the marking pin to its top position. The lightweight design of the marking apparatus permits it to be adapted for hand held use.
