Abstract: A plant and a method for connecting a web of fibrous material to a nonwoven or consolidating it therewith includes a first circulating belt on which the web of fibrous material is laid, a device for introducing a nonwoven into the plant, and a further successive circulating belt on which the nonwoven is to be connected to or consolidated with the web of fibrous material. The web of fibrous material from the first circulating belt is first laid on the nonwoven and subsequently the fibrous material is transferred onto the successive belt together with the nonwoven for connection or consolidation by use of water jets.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for the bonding of a textile web, whereby the textile web is guided over an idler drum into a bonding plant, led around a through-air drum and over a cooling drum and then led out again, whereby heated fresh air flows through the web and the through-air drum and the exhaust air is extracted from the bonding plant. According to the invention, it is intended that cooling air is directed onto the web ahead of the detachment point of the web from the through-air drum onto the web.

Abstract: A method for execution by a processing module begins with receiving application requirements and parameters. The method continues by generating application code based on the application requirements, the parameters, and the feedback. For a current implementation of the application code, the method continues by entering a loop that begins by selecting an implementation tool in accordance with implementation constraints and a previous implementation result. The loop continues by generating a current implementation result based on an application of the implementation tool, one or more of the application requirements, one or more of the parameters, and the previous implementation. The loop continues by receiving current feedback regarding the current implementation result. The loop continues by determining whether the current implementation result is at a desired level of correctness based on the current feedback.

Abstract: A method for execution by a processing module begins by receiving inputted requirements and parameters. The method continues by generating application requirements based on the inputted requirements, the parameters, and verification feedback. For one or more application requirements, the method continues by determining whether the generating of the one or more application requirements is consistent with valid system states and correctness criteria to produce one or more verification results. For the one or more application requirements, the method continues by comparing the one or more verification results with one or more verification thresholds to produce the verification feedback.

Abstract: An improved electro-hydraulic brake system having features for improving the pedal feel of the system, while further having design features which contribute to the economy of manufacture of certain components of the system. The system provides for an electrically powered normal source of pressurized hydraulic brake fluid, and a manually powered backup source of pressurized hydraulic brake fluid to the vehicle brakes in the event of failure of the normal source. During normal braking, fluid from the backup source is redirected from the vehicle brakes to a pedal simulator. The pedal simulator preferably includes arrangements of spring loaded pistons, expansion volumes, and damping orifices, together with valves selectively controlling the flow of fluid to and from the pedal simulator which provides for an improved pedal feel during vehicle braking.
