Abstract: A SPIM-microscope (Selective Plane Imaging Microscope) having a y-direction illumination light source and a z-direction detection light camera. An x-scanner generates a sequential light sheet by scanning the illumination light beam in the x-direction. The SPIM-microscope has an illumination optics having a zoom optics provided in a beam path of the illumination light beam, the zoom optics being adapted to change the focal length of the illumination light beam and adapted to detect a larger area of the object by sequentially detecting sequences of images along the y-direction that have an increased resolution along the z-direction. An image processing unit combines these sequences of images by image stitching into one large overall image.

Abstract: A STED-SPIM-microscope (Selective Plane Imaging Microscopy) having a y-direction illumination light source and a z-direction detection light camera. An x-scanner generates a sequential light sheet by scanning the illumination light beam in the x-direction. By optionally turning on a STED deactivation light beam the light sheet can optionally be made thinner and therefore the optical resolution can be increased.

Abstract: A method for generating operating software on a control device for a motor vehicle by executing control software in a production line end computer or in the control device, has the following steps: a) Executing a diagnosis function in the motor vehicle, with which the configuration of the motor vehicle can be established so that the functions to be performed by the control device (1) are clearly defined, b) Selecting only from among the necessary software components from an external data source (2), so that the configuration of the motor vehicle can be mapped with the operating software on the control device (1), and c) Generating the component-individual operating software on the control device (1) by inclusion of the selected software components.

Abstract: A particle filter is monitored with a sequence of steps. A pressure loss at the particle filter is measured. The volumetric flow of exhaust gas is acquired and a filter load value is calculated from the pressure loss and the volumetric flow of exhaust gas. The filter load value is recorded as a function of a drive parameter and the filter load value is differentiated with respect to the drive parameter. The differentiation of the filter load allows a particle filter breakdown to be deduced when the differentiation is less than or equal to zero.

Abstract: A method is provided for improving the loading behavior of an internal combustion engine that is supercharged by an exhaust turbocharger and is operated in an essentially steady-state mode, in which system-related sags in rpm when a load is applied the entire performance potential of the motor can be exploited by a temporary cutting in of a dynamic load- and motor-operation-adjusted variable regulation of the beginning of delivery. By regulating the beginning of delivery, the indicated average pressure is increased while exhausting the stated mechanical load limits, while the boost pressure buildup, which otherwise is delayed disadvantageously and is necessarily produced in Diesel engines supercharged with exhaust turbochargers by the limited acceleration capability of the turbocharger, can be used to increase performance by influencing the combustion process, said influence being regulated by the beginning of delivery.
