Abstract: A function-adapted three-dimensional foam structure (2) for a vehicle seat (4) has first foam structure planes (6) to ensure a constant compressive strength of the foam structure (2) in two spatial directions x, y, second foam structure planes (8) to ensure a length variance of the foam structure (2) in a spatial direction z, that is perpendicular to the spatial directions x and y. The first foam structure planes (6) and the second foam structure planes (8) are formed and distributed within the foam structure (2) such that the compressive strength of the foam structure (2) is constant in the spatial directions x, y independent of the length-wise expansion of the foam structure (2) in the spatial direction z.

Abstract: The invention relates to flame-retarded copolymers and molding materials or molding compounds with covalently bonded sulfur and covalently bonded organic phosphorus compounds having a statistical monomer distribution. The flame-retarded copolymers and molding compounds of the invention are substantially colorless, odorless and halogen-free and can be used in the building industry and electrical industry.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inputting and depositing bank notes, whereby checked bank notes are temporarily stored in a stacking device singly or in bundles. To permit secure transport of bank notes from a stacking position to an end cashbox, temporarily stored bank notes are stacked on a deposit surface that is then itself moved to a position associated with the end cashbox, so that bank notes can be deposited in the end cashbox in said position.

Abstract: A device for position determination in a sensorless direct current motor has a plurality of inductivities arranged in corresponding phases and inducing alternating voltages in a motor windings, a plurality of resistances located in phase branches to be evaluated for a position determination of a rotor position of the sensorless direct current motor, and a plurality of comparator components each associated with the corresponding phase branch to be evaluated.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for automatic bundling of sheet material, in particular bank notes, having a deposit device on which sheet material to be bundled is deposited as a precisely fitting stack, a sliding device moving the stack of sheets perpendicularly toward a foil supplied by a device whereby the stack is partly wrapped with the foil and supplied to a transport device. The invention is characterized in that the transport device has two parallel, vertically adjustable conveyer belts between which the stack with its partly surrounding foil is clamped and transported to a banding device, said stack being positioned by the conveyer belts such that the foil is guided around the stack by the banding device and connected into a band, thereby obtaining a bundled stack of sheets. Subsequently the bundled packet can be pushed onto a transport belt with the aid of a delivery pocket.

Abstract: A device to digitally meter, monitor and collect liquid, such as urine, from a catheterized patient. As such it is the successor to and improvement upon U.S. Pat. No. 3,769,497. An optional part prevents the migration of bacteria from the monitoring and collecting devices to the patient's body cavity. The device comprises a plurality of uniquely shaped movable containers that empty their contents when filled to a predetermined volume, a catheter for delivering liquid to the containers, movement sensors for detecting container movement to determine the amount of fluid collected, patient isolating means for electrically isolating the sensors from the patient while delivering movement signals to the sensors, a final collection container for receiving liquid from the movable containers, supports for supporting the device, and controls and alarms for indicating an alarm condition.
