Abstract: A method is disclosure for operating a steer-by-wire vehicle steering system with a steering wheel in a shut-down state of the vehicle. According to one step of the method, after the vehicle has been shut down a procedure is carried out to monitor whether the steering wheel of the vehicle is being moved. If a movement of the steering wheel is ascertained and the movement exceeds a defined first limiting value, the movement of the steering wheel is damped by a damping unit of the steering system. If no movement of the steering wheel exceeding the first limiting value was ascertained for a defined time period, no further monitoring of a movement of the steering wheel and no further damping of the movement of the steering wheel are undertaken, so long as the vehicle is shut down.

Abstract: A method for identifying the switch topology of multiple energy storage module connected in parallel and/or in series, which respectively have at least one energy storage element, each module has a switch element for selectively activating and deactivating the module and a unique identifier, wherein each module is assigned to a module string in that a total current flowing across the switch topology is checked, and individual modules are activated successively via the switch element until the total current is detectable.

Abstract: A method and machine for sealing at least one cut edge of a foam board is disclosed. The foam board has a top surface, a bottom surface and at least one cut edge extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. The cut edge is passed over a heated roller to soften the edge and then passed over a second roller having a temperature that is lower than the temperature of the first roller which seals the edge. The cut edge may be milled to square the edge relative to the top and bottom of the board before the cut edge is passed over the heated roller. Additional pairs of rollers may be provided to seal the top surface and the bottom surface of the foam board.

Abstract: A self-leveling multi-line laser device is disclosed. The multi-line laser device includes at least two laser beams and at least two reflecting cones, wherein the cone axes of the reflecting cones are perpendicular to each other and each of the laser beams can be directed, preferably eccentrically, parallel to the axis of one of the reflecting cones against the tip of said reflecting cone. With the multi-line laser device, at least two projectable laser lines can be generated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting a software build error are described herein. In one example, a method includes detecting a plurality of changes in software. The method also includes identifying a plurality of change lists, wherein a change list is identified for each of the plurality of changes in the software. Additionally, the method includes identifying a characteristic for each change list in the plurality of change lists. Furthermore, the method includes calculating a plurality of probabilities based at least in part on the characteristic of each of the plurality of change lists, wherein each of the probabilities indicates the likelihood of one of the plurality of change lists creating the software build error. The method also includes reporting the plurality of probabilities of the software build error.

Abstract: An apparatus for the cardio-synchronized stimulation of skeletal or smooth muscle, but excluding the heart muscles, in a counterpulsation mode of a patient.

Abstract: Software development items can be represented in a graph data structure. Relationships between the represented items can be detected and reflected in the graph data structure. Queries can be run against the data structure to determine which software development items are related to each other. Implicit query can be implemented in a software development context. A graph browser can present panes showing related items. In some embodiments, a set of regular expressions can be used to identify paths in a graph. Probability scores for the identified paths can be computed. Path data for the identified paths, including the probability scores, can be stored in a searchable location accessible by one or more applications. A query of the path data can be processed to return query results associated with at least one of the identified paths.

Abstract: A five-beam laser device that is designed in a self-leveling way and includes three laser sources, wherein two laser beams created by the laser sources are each divided into two partial beams, wherein one of the partial beams in each case meets with the beam of the third laser source at a point P.

Abstract: An apparatus for the cardio-synchronised stimulation of skeletal or smooth muscle, but excluding the heart muscles, in a counterpulsation mode of a patient.
