Abstract: The invention relates to a high pressure fuel pump for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, having a pump housing in which is formed a working space, into which fuel can be supplied from a low pressure region of the radial piston pump, the working space being delimited by a pump piston which can be driven, in order to pressurize the fuel, by an external drive, in particular by a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, wherein in order to meter the fuel quantity supplied to the working space, a throttle device having a variable throttle action is arranged on or in the pump housing.

Abstract: A method and a device can be used for checking the layout of an electronic circuit of a semiconductor component. For example, the method includes an automatic classification of cells in at least one layout into a cell database, and an automatic layout checker comparing the cell database to a layout to be checked.

Abstract: The invention relates to an applicator for the application of liquid or pasty media, containing a housing for receiving a dosing unit and an adapter for fastening a container, for the medium to be applied, to the applicator; a dose setting means; a lever for the application of the apportioned amount, the lever interacting mechanically with the dosing unit and with the dose setting means. The lever is mounted moveably at its proximal end within the housing. The distal end of the lever spreads apart from the housing, with the distance of the distal end of the lever from the housing being dependent on the dose set.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for diagnosing a catalytic converter (15, 16, 17) located in a exhaust gas flow (ms_abg). Said method and device are based on an evaluation of the hygroscopic properties of the catalytic converter (15, 16, 17).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the reliable and reproducible preparation of 4-[17?-methoxy-17?-methoxymethyl-3-oxoestra-4,9-dien-11?-yl]benzaldehyde (E)-oxime (asoprisnil) on the pilot and manufacturing scale. Asoprisnil, which is prepared by this method, is distinguished by a very good physical stability and is therefore particularly suitable for the manufacture of solid pharmaceutical forms (tablets, coated tablets, etc.).

Abstract: A high-pressure fuel pump and methods for controlling this high-pressure fuel pump are described in which the pumping quantity regulation does not cause significant heating of the fuel to be pumped. The partial-load efficiency of the high-pressure fuel pump, triggered in accordance with the invention, is also very good.

Abstract: A method for correcting layout errors of a layout, for example layout errors of a layout of an electronic circuit, is disclosed. In order to be able to correct such layout errors with the least possible complexity, the layout is examined for the presence of layout errors with the aid of predetermined design rules, identical layout errors are combined in a respective error class, and all layout errors of an error class that are still present are automatically corrected without further checking in an identical manner as soon as the correction of a layout error of the respective error class that is used as an error representative has been performed.

Abstract: In a method for monitoring layout changes for semiconductor chips, a first group of error data is generated by comparing a first layout with wiring and layout rules. A second group of error data is generated by comparing a second layout with the wiring and layout rules, the second layout being generated from layout changes of the first layout. The first group of error data is compared to the second group of error data and only error data that are different in the first and second groups is output for evaluation.
