Abstract:
The invention relates to a gear transmission with a steplessly adjustable translation ratio for converting of rotary speeds and of torques of shafts. The uniform rotary motion of a drive shaft is transferred to a driven shaft with the aid of time staggered operating gear transmission units. The rotary motion is transformed by a cam transmission initially into a uniform translational motion and in the following this uniform translational motion is transformed into another, also uniform translational motion, with a speed depending on the translation ratio setting with a translation device. Finally this translational motion is transferred again into a uniform rotary motion by a further planar cam transmission and transferred to the driven shaft.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a transmission gear with a steplessly adjustable translation for converting rotation speeds and torques between two shafts. Such converters are employed in all areas of the drive technology, as for example in machine tools and vehicle drives. The transmission gear according to the present invention allows a uniform motion transfer from the drive shaft to the driven shaft while simultaneously inducing substantially less wear appearances at its function determining transmission gear elements, in particular of the transmission gear part system at the side of the driven shaft. Means are furnished for reducing wear, which means superpose an additional motion influencing the speed of the driven shaft only unsubstantially to the translation motions of the translation device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an optical transmission system for compensation of dispersion in optical transmission lines in which dispersion compensation fibers are applied, with the dispersion compensation fibers being arranged at the beginning as well as at the end of the line segments of the optical fibers forming the transmission line. The signal distortions due to non-linear effects are reduced by making use of the recognition that non-linearities should only occur at as small as possible an accumulated dispersion. This is obtained by an unequal division of the dispersion compensation fiber applied for the compensation of the dispersion of the optical fiber, with the part of the dispersion compensation fiber attached at the beginning of a line segment being directly connected to the optical fiber and having an accumulated dispersion which is smaller as to amount than the accumulated dispersion of the part of the dispersion compensation fiber attached at the end of the optical fiber.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method is illustrated as rendering an application User Interface (UI) to be modified to reflect a use case, and initiating a guided procedure relating to the use of an elected privilege to modify the application UI. Further, in one embodiment, a method is illustrated as including displaying a configuration rule, the configuration rule used to govern a UI configuration, detecting a selection of the configuration rule as an elected privilege relating to modifying a UI element and a layout element, and storing the elected privilege. In some cases, the UI is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) UI.
Abstract:
A computer system and computer-implemented method for managing travel arrangements. The computer-system comprises storage means for storing travel arrangement data associated with travel arrangements (for example, Travel plans and Travel Expense Reports), processing means for processing the travel arrangement data to carry out predetermined actions (for example, Change Travel Plan, Create Travel Plan, Create Travel Expense Report, Change Travel Expense Report) associated with the travel arrangements, input means for selecting predetermined actions to be carried out by the processing means, and output means for presenting travel information associated with the travel arrangement data. The travel arrangement data include data associated with, for example, start and end of business trip, destination of trip, reason for trip, etc., and deadline data associated to predetermined deadlines related to the travel arrangements. The processing means further comprises means for checking whether predetermined actions have been selected to be carried out within a predetermined period of time before the predetermined deadlines, and the output means further comprises means for presenting as an alert that a predetermined action or a plurality of predetermined actions have not been selected within the predetermined period of time. The present system and method facilitates travel management as well as helps to prevent missing critical deadlines.
Abstract:
Process for preparing a flavoring composition suitable as a butter flavor block by subjecting triglyceride fats, fatty acids or fatty acid derivatives to oxidizing conditions, comprising: (a) admixing an anti-oxidant to triglyceride fats, fatty acids or fatty acid derivatives at least to a concentration which is sufficient to increase the induction period of the fat by a factor of 1.5, (b) heating the mixture for 0.5 hours-1 week at 50.degree.-150.degree. C. under access of atmospheric oxygen and in the presence of water, under the condition that the triglyceride fats, fatty acids or fatty acid derivatives contain at least one poly-unsaturated fatty acid with an omega-3 non-conjugatable double bond system in an amount of >0.01 wt. %. Such fatty acids or derivatives of fatty acid are preferably obtained by partially hydrogenating a natural vegetable glyceride fat.
