Abstract: A window lifter assembly for an adjustable windowpane of a motor vehicle has a guide rail and a driver with a connecting leg and two driver legs connected by the connecting leg. Between the two driver legs is a receptacle gap for the adjustable windowpane. The two driver legs include a first driver leg configured to mount and guide the driver on the guide rail and a second driver leg being elastically displaceable in relation to the first driver leg and has a latching element which protrudes into the receptacle gap. When inserting the adjustable windowpane into the receptacle gap of the driver the latching element engages in a pane-proximal latching opening of the windowpane. The driver further has a resting contour on which the second driver leg is supported as a result of a tensile force acting on the latching element by way of the adjustable windowpane in a closing direction or a closed position of the adjustable windowpane.

Abstract: A head module for a modular control device includes redundant channel units, each including a processing unit and multiple failure revelation units. The head module includes a bus disconnection unit configured to shut down a communication bus. The failure revelation units are configured to monitor a state of the channel units. The processing units are configured to continuously stimulate the failure revelation units. At least one of the processing units is coupled to signal wires of the communication bus to provide a communication link to one or more peripheral modules of the modular control device. The failure revelation units are further configured to control, based on the stimulation and the monitoring, the bus disconnection unit.

Abstract: A flotation device for the separation (purification or removal) of dispersed particles in a fluid, in particular removal of dispersed oil in water. The device includes a flotation cell (1) with one or more nozzles (4) provided at or near the bottom of the cell for the supply of gas or fluid to the interior of the cell. The cell is provided with an inlet (5) for the fluid to be treated and two or more outlets (6, 7) for the separated products. The flotation cell is in the form of a longitudinal pipe (1), the diameter of which is basically the same as the diameter of the fluid transport or feeding pipe (2) connected to the inlet (5) of the pipe. The nozzles (4) for the supply of gas or fluid are provided at a distance along the bottom of the pipe.

Abstract: An apparatus for laser marking an arcuate surface of an object has a laser source emitting a laser beam and a first reflector assembly for deflecting the beam in a contiguous first field. A second reflector assembly has at least two adjacent second reflectors in the first field for reflecting the beam into at least two separate and not overlapping second fields. Respective third reflectors in the second fields reflect the beam in the respective third fields onto respective adjacent portions of the surface of the object.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the computer-implemented evaluation of electronic business processes using a computer system. In order to check the business process-relevant data contained in a business process (GP) received by the computer system, a static examination of data on the basis of character recognition is carried out in a first step and hypotheses on the content of every examined date are established. In a second step, a dynamic examination of the established hypotheses is carried out. According to the invention, a synchronization of the electronically recognized data contents with client- and/or material-specific data contained in a data base (200) is performed.

Abstract: A transparent disk with a round periphery is produced, for example, by a grinding operation, and a mark is placed at the geometric center of the disk. A coil is then wound about the periphery of the disk. As a consequence, the mark at the geometric center of the disk coincides with the electrical center point of the coil, thus obviating the need for a bobbin, or coil former, on which the coil can be wound.The transparent disk is first ground into a round shape, and a metallic film is deposited on a surface of the disk. The film is coated with a photosensitive resist material, and then exposed through a mask to define an image of a mark at the geometric center of the disk. The film is then etched to remove all but the mark from the disk.In manufacturing the coil, the disk is concentrically clamped between two plates of a winding jig, each plate having annular peripheral flanges that are radially larger than the disk and thus project beyond the periphery of the disk.

Abstract: A co-ordinate measuring system determines the position of a coil member relative to a grid member defined by a set of equidistant, parallel conductors associated with a co-ordinate axis of the system. The system includes a switching circuit that is constructed and arranged to produce a measuring signal in the form of a train of induced pulses in one of the members when a time variable current is applied to the other of the members. According to the present invention, a low pass filter at the front end of an evaluation circuit is responsive to the measuring signal for reducing frequency components therein due to operation of the switching circuit, and producing an output signal that is the first derivative of the envelope of the time variable magnetic flux. The second zero-axis crossing of the derivative of the output signal yields a representation of the co-ordinate of the coil relative to the grid member.

Abstract: A digitizer comprising a measuring table having a substrate on which a grid is mounted, and a movable coil inductively coupled to the grid. When a time variable current is applied, a variable magnetic flux produces a measuring signal in the form of an induced voltage. The grid is a plurality of side-by-side, parallel conductors, each having opposite axial ends and arranged in pairs. A bridge is provided between adjacent ends of a plurality of the pairs of conductors. Current flowing into the opposite end of one conductor of a pair of conductors, thus, produces oppositely directed magnetic fields around the conductors of the pair, or a changing magnetic flux produced by the coil and interacting with the conductors of a pair induces voltages of opposite polarity in the conductors of the pair.

Abstract: A marking device for marking a sheet mounted on a digitizer board includes a measuring coil inductively coupled to the digitizer board when the coil is operatively positioned relative to the board. A switch on the marking device is operable to cause current pulses to be applied to the conductors on the digitizer board producing magnetic flux which couples the conductors on the board to the coil. A marker on the marking device is responsive to operation of the switch for marking a thermosensitive sheet on which the measuring coil is placed thereby marking on the sheet the position of the marking device when the switch was closed.
