Abstract:
In addition to a sewing machine, a sewing unit has a workpiece holder, which has two workpiece bearing plates displaceable relative to each other, a holding bar, a folding, bar, a thrower device, a cloth slider and a folding device. By these devices, first and second trouser parts having rim strips are faced and overlapped inside-out onto a zipper. The front inseam is sewn, then the rim strip of the second trouser part is folded over and a first zipper seam is sewn. The second trouser part is folded over right-side out and the j-seam is sewn. The rim strips of the first and second trouser parts can be folded before sewing, seam locks can be provided, and a lower covering strip can be provided to the zipper as well. Thus, all three seams can be sewn with a single sewing arrangement.
Abstract:
A built-in test-signal generator (TG) and a built-in error-detection circuit (PE) independent of the test-signal generator are provided in a novel circuit arrangement. In response to an external stimulus, a signal path can be opened at a given point, and the signal from the test-signal generator (TG) can be injected. The signal taken from another, likewise externally selectable point of the signal path is checked in the error-detection circuit (PE); the result is fed out. Such a circuit arrangement is used to advantage where many like circuit arrangements are united in a broadband switching network consisting of a plurality of broadband switching modules. Since the test-signal generators and the error-detection circuits are independent of each other, systems tests can be performed without having to form any additional testing paths. Such a circuit arrangement also facilitates the testing of large-scale-integrated circuits already on the wafer, because no high-frequency test signals have to be applied and taken off.

Abstract:
Process for preparing polymeric, ionic compounds comprising imidazolium groups, wherein an α-dicarbonyl compound, an aldehyde, at least one amino compound having at least two primary amino groups, if appropriate an amino compound having only one primary amino group and a protic acid, where the carbonyl groups of the α-dicarbonyl compound and of the aldehyde may, if appropriate, also be present as hemiacetal, acetal or hemiketal or ketal, are reacted with one another.
Abstract:
The invention relates to n optoelectronic sensor having a transmitter (12) for the transmission of a transmitted light beam (22) which is extended perpendicular to the detection direction by means of an optical transmission system (24) and a receiver (14) for the reception of received light (28) and for the provision of an electronic received signal, and an evaluation unit (16) for the recording of the received signal and for the outputting of an object detection signal, wherein at least the transmitter (12) and the optical transmission system (24) are arranged in a sensor housing (18) having a front screen (20). To provide an improved sensor which is inexpensive and nevertheless generates a linear transmitted light of high quality, it is proposed that the front screen (20) is overlaid with patterns (40) of light absorbing material for light intensity homogenization in a region (21S) through which the transmitted light (22) passes and/or in a region (21E) through which the received light (28) passes.
Abstract:
A method for converting a signed fixed point number into a floating point number that includes reading an input number corresponding to a signed fixed point number to be converted, determining whether the input number is less than zero, setting a sign bit based upon whether the input number is less than zero or greater than or equal to zero, computing a first intermediate result by exclusive-ORing the input number with the sign bit, computing leading zeros of the first intermediate result, padding the first intermediate result based upon the sign bit, computing a second intermediate result by shifting the padded first intermediate result to the left by the leading zeros, computing an exponent portion and a fraction portion, conditionally incrementing the fraction portion based on the sign bit, correcting the exponent portion and the fraction portion if the incremented fraction portion overflows, and returning the floating point number.
