Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for designing a technical system in which measurement data of a predetermined system is described using a substitute model. To this end, a dimension figure is determined for the quality of the substitute model by comparing the measurement data of the system with data determined by the substitute model. The substitute model is adapted with regard to a highest possible quality by using the dimension figure determined for the quality. The dimension figure is improved using additional measurement data and the adapted substitute model is used to design the technical system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a folding device (1) and a folding method, wherein said folding device (1) is preferably implemented as a robotic folding device. It has at least one manipulator (13), which can be moved in multiple axes, having at least one folding tool (12), which is carried along, and a buttress (15), which receives and supports the folding forces applied using the folding tool (12).

Abstract:
According to the invention, a plurality of cumulative current flows fulfilling a pre-determined selection criterion can be determined from detected cumulative current flows. At least one cumulative current flow fulfilling a pre-determined second selection criterion can be selected from the determined cumulative current flows, as a cumulative current flow representing a sensor signal. The sensor element to which a sensor signal is applied is determined from the selected cumulative current flow.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device for generating a random number, comprising a unit (2) sampling a noise signal so as to obtain a noise signal sampling value. The random number generator also comprises a unit (5) supplying noise signal threshold values, the at least three noise signal threshold values being selected in such a way that a first probability that the noise signal sampling value lies between the first and the second noise signal threshold value is different by less than a predefined difference value from or identical to a second probability that the noise signal sampling value lies between the second and the third noise signal threshold value. A unit (3) issuing the random number operates based on the noise signal threshold values in such a way that a logical state is allocated to a first position of a random number if the noise signal sampling value lies between the first and the second noise signal threshold value while another logical state which is different from the first logical state is allocated to a second position of the random number such that one noise signal sampling value results in an at least 2-bit wide random number. Random numbers comprising any number of bits can be generated if more than three noise signal threshold values are used. The inventive device allows random numbers to be generated in a fast and efficient manner.
Abstract:
A processor arrangement comprises a number of processor units. Each processor unit is coupled to at least one adjacent processor unit by means of a bi-directional communication interface. Messages are exchanged between adjacent processor units for the determination of the separation of a processor unit in the processor arrangement from a reference position. Each message contains separation information, giving the separation of the processor unit receiving the message from the reference position or the separation of the processor unit sending the message from the reference position, where each processor unit is embodied such as to be able to determine or store the separation thereof from the reference position from the separation information in a received message.
Abstract:
The engine has a work medium circuit with an energy converter (7), a cooler (8), a compressor (9) and a heater (6). The medium is supercritical carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is compressed in the compressor to between 100 and 175 bar, with an outlet temperature between 20 deg C and 50 deg C. The heater heats it by between 10 deg C and 60 deg C by energy from a second fluid circuit. This circuit can be the cooling circuit (3) of a heat pump or combustion engine, or the work medium circuit of a solar heater. The energy convertor generates power, and the carbon dioxide exits it at between 73.8 and 100 bar. The cooler cools it to the compressor inlet temperature.
