Abstract: An approach for monitoring a data transmission system that uses a data transmission means such as a vehicle bus or a vehicle network of a motor vehicle. This system includes a monitoring device that transmits a request message to a transmitting device and to a receiving device. The transmitting device generates a particular transmitter response on the basis of the request message, where the transmitter response is transmitted to the monitoring device. The receiving device generates a particular receiver response on the basis of the request message, where the receiver response is transmitted to the monitoring device. The monitoring device receives the transmitter response and the receiver response and checks compliance with a trigger condition which depends on the transmitter response and the receiver response, the compliance of which indicates an event relevant to monitoring.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a braiding machine and a method for controlling a braiding machine of this kind. An exemplary embodiment of the braiding machine has a plurality of braided-material carriers, a drive and a control device. The plurality of braided-material carriers are arranged around a common braiding centre of the braiding machine and are each designed to carry a braided material that is to be braided in the common braiding centre. The drive is designed to drive the plurality of braided-material carriers such that they move around the common braiding centre. The control device is designed to control the drive such that a centrifugal force acting on at least one of the braided-material carriers remains nearly constant.

Abstract: A process produces an electrical line which extends in the longitudinal direction and the line has a line core and an outer shell. In a continuous shaping process, individual shell portions of the outer shell are formed successively by surrounding the line core with a curable plastic substance. In at least one portion, the outer shell is produced having a cross-sectional geometry which can be varied in the longitudinal direction of the line.

Abstract: A data cable has a specially formed stranded conductor, as a result of which the transmission properties of the data cable are significantly improved. The stranded conductor is surrounded by insulation and has an unpressed assembly composed of a plurality of individual wires which are of a same type and being embodied as external wires and being disposed around a center. The external wires are embodied with a non-round cross section, with a result that when viewed in cross section an extent of the external wires increases radially outward from the center.

Abstract: The cable routing device serves for routing at least one cable of a moved machine part in the manner of a drag chain. The cable routing device is bendable in a reversible manner in at least one defined bending direction and to this end has a flexurally flexible carrier structure, which extends in a longitudinal direction. Embedded into said carrier structure is an insert part with a cross sectional geometry different from circular. The bending direction is determined by the cross sectional geometry of the insert part. The cable routing device, in this case, is realized in the longitudinal direction from a plastic compound by a continuous shaping operation, wherein the insert part is at the same time incorporated into the carrier structure. The cable routing device has cross sectional geometries that vary in the longitudinal direction and are formed by the continuous shaping operation.

Abstract: A stranded conductor contains a number of individual wires. The multiple identically designed individual wires are arranged about a central inner wire as outer wires. The individual wires form a composite which is encased by insulation, and the outer wires are uncompressed and have a non-round cross-section such that when seen in cross-section, the outer wires expand radially outwards starting from the inner wire. The composite of individual wires is not compressed such that the composite has a high alternate bending strength.

Abstract: The invention as outlined below serves to introduce postmortem online identity handling that is capable of handling multiple clients. With this concept, the operator is able to create a Web or client application to delete the online identities of a deceased person with certified online providers. In the process, the deceased's contracts with online portals that require payment are canceled, existing credits are returned to heirs, or all other identifiable online accounts are deleted or deactivated.

Abstract: A program-controlled arrangement for the identification of ESD and/or latch-up weak points in the design or in the concept of an integrated circuit comprises a pre-processor, which processes first data about the description of the integrated circuit, second data about already ESD-characterized circuit parts of the integrated circuit, and third data which contain information about ESD test standards. A simulator device is connected downstream of the pre-processor which has a simulator which, by using the fourth and fifth data generated by the pre-processor, performs an ESD simulation of the integrated circuit, which has a monitoring controller for controlling the ESD simulation sequence in the simulator. An analysis device is connected downstream of the simulator device, which performs an evaluation of the sixth data generated in the simulator device with regard to their physical validity and meaningfulness, and marks the simulation runs having physically relevant ESD failure events.

Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine comprising a high-pressure accumulator injection system wherein the swept volume and the pressure are regulated by means of a volume flow control valve (VCV) and a pressure control valve (PCV). The inventive method consists in checking, during the overrun condition of the internal combustion engine, whether predetermined release conditions for carrying out the diagnosis are fulfilled, and in the event of a positive result, the control valve (VCV) is closed for a predetermined period of time (t1). During said period (t1), values relating to fuel pressure (FUP) are detected by means of the pressure sensor (21) and compared with a predetermined threshold value (FUP-SW), the control valve (VCV) being deemed faultless if said fuel pressure (FUP) values are sufficiently often below the threshold value (FUP_SW) during the cited period of time (t1).

Abstract: A circuit is described that protects an integrated circuit from electrostatic discharges or electrical over-stress. The circuit arrangement has first and second protective elements connected in series between a connection of the integrated circuit and a supply voltage. When electrostatic discharges or electrical over-stress occurs, current flows through the conductive path formed through the first and second protective elements. A current path that contains a circuit element limits current through the first protective element is connected in parallel with the first protective element. The first protective element has blocking behavior when no electrostatic discharges or electrical over-stress occurs, a limited current flows through the current path and the second protective element.
