  • Publication number: 20060188265
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rear panel bus, with a number of plugs which may be plugged into the modules and a fibre optic cable, for guiding light signals, whereby the fibre optic cable has a number of interruptions in the propagation direction of the light signals, into which means, for injection and decoupling of light signals running in the fibre optic cable may be inserted. The interruptions in the fibre optic cable are arranged such that a plug may be allocated to an interruption. The invention further comprises a module which may be plugged into an optical rear panel bus and means for injection and decoupling of light signals running in an optical fibre cable whereby the means for injecting and decoupling are arranged such as to be able to be inserted in interruptions in the fibre optic cable, to decouple light signals from the fibre optic cable and to inject light signals into the fibre optic cable in the propagation direction.

  • Publication number: 20040153268
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the spectral evaluation of an object to be tested. The inventive method enables an evaluation to be carried out independently of the respective operating state of the object to be tested, said operating state being influenced by operating parameters. A first operating parameter is an actual rotational speed value. According to the inventive method, a frequency spectrum (22, 23) of the object to be tested is automatically recorded by measuring means. Said frequency spectrum (22, 23) has first amplitude values which depend on first frequency values, the first frequency values of the frequency spectrum (22, 23) being used for normalisation in relation to the actual rotational speed value. An alarm curve (2) is formed with second amplitude values which depend on second frequency values, the second frequency values of the alarm curve (2) being used for normalisation in relation to the actual rotational speed value.

  • Publication number: 20040133387
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring at least one measuring signal, in particular for use in automation technology, production automation and process automation. Said method automatically determines and establishes an optimal time interval between measuring periods, by means of the course of a measuring signal. According to the invention, a computer system cyclically determines a characteristic value of the measuring signal in measuring periods (8), which are separated by a time interval (9), whereby a priority (P1 . . . P15) is automatically defined, said priority (P1 . . . P15) is assigned to the measuring signal and the time interval (9) between the measuring periods (8) is defined in accordance with the priority (P1 . . . P15).

  • Patent number: 6057383
    Abstract: The invention relates to dental materials based on wax-like polymerizable substances. The dental materials contain (a) 0 to 70 wt. % of at least one polymerizable monomer and/or oligomer; (b) 0.1 to 5 wt. % of at least one polymerization initiator; (c) 0 to 60 wt. % of one or more fillers, (d) at least 20 wt. % of the wax-like polymerizable substance. They can be kneaded at room temperature and can be modelled in non-polymerized state without additional heating, like conventional waxes. On polymerization, the wax component is covalently incorporated into the polymer. The dental materials are suitable for producing temporary and permanent dental prostheses.
