    摘要: A method for configuring replicas in a distributed computing system is disclosed. In one example embodiment, a plurality of replicas with associated bootstrap modules may be created. The same bootstrap module code may be used for each replica, thereby simplifying configuration. Using the bootstrap module, the replicas may automatically configure themselves and self-assign a role for a set of predetermined roles such as master and worker. The bootstrap module may check a predetermined location such as a shared network folder for earlier registration entries and then self-select based on the remaining available roles. The bootstrap module may also store its own registration entry to inform subsequent replicas of the role and network address for the current replica so that they may self-configure correctly.

    摘要: A bearing is disclosed. The bearing includes a first half shell and an eccentric second half shell, the first half shell and the second half shell configured to connect at a joint to form a cylindrical bearing. The first half shell has a first crown thickness at a first crown of the first half shell, and a first wall thickness between the first crown and the joint. The second half shell has a second crown thickness at a second crown of the second half shell, and a second wall thickness between the second crown and the joint. The second crown thickness is greater than the first crown thickness, and the first wall thickness is equal to the second wall thickness at a point of equal thickness between 10 and 60 degrees from the joint.

    摘要: An exemplary system includes an inverter coupled to a DC source, eight power switches and three DC-link capacitors that synthesize seven output voltage levels. In one example the inverter includes a four-level active neutral pointed clamped inverter (4L-ANCP) that includes six power switches of the eight power switches is operated at a switching frequency with a first voltage stress level, and a half-bridge that includes the other two of the eight power switches is coupled to the 4L-ANCP and operated at a fundamental frequency with a second voltage stress, the second voltage stress being higher than the first voltage stress level.

    摘要: A fragrancing device is disclosed. The fragrancing device includes a housing having an installation space and a longitudinal housing axis at which a carrier is arranged with contact. The carrier is provided separately with respect to the housing and includes a cover part that covers an installation space opening of the installation space. A carrier part having at least one fragrance cartridge receptacle for receiving a fragrance cartridge is provided. A guide stop is disposed axially in a direction of the housing axis between the carrier and the housing for guiding the carrier as part of a plug-in movement relative to the housing along the housing axis. The guide stop includes a guide pin and a guide pin receptacle.

    摘要: An electrical assembly may include an electrical component, a first switch, and/or a second switch. The electrical component may include a closed state and an open state. The first switch may be connected in series with the second switch. The first switch and the second switch may be connected in parallel with the electrical component. The first switch and the second switch may be configured to provide a second electrical connection when the electrical component is in the open state. A method of operating an electrical assembly may include providing power from a power source to the electrical component, opening the electrical component, the first switch, and/or the second switch via a controller, closing a second electrical component via the controller, and/or providing a diagnostic current from the power source to a diagnostic load to determine a status of the power source.

    摘要: A heat exchanger, e.g., an indirect charge air cooler for an internal combustion engine, is disclosed. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes that provide a first channel system for a first fluid, and a second channel system for a second fluid disposed between the plurality of tubes that is fluidically separated from the first channel system. Two opposite side parts for fluidically bounding the second channel system are provided, between which the plurality of tubes are arranged. At least one frame part is soldered together with a respective outer edge of the two side parts. The outer edge of a side part includes a tab bent over S-shaped as edge reinforcement with a first tab section solder-plated on an outside and a second tab section solder-plated on an inside. The frame part has an S-shaped cross section with a first receptacle that receives the first tab section.

    摘要: An air spring includes an air spring bellows extending along a longitudinal axis, an outer guide for the air spring bellows that extends at least partially around the air spring bellows and around the longitudinal axis, and a bellows extending at least partially around the air spring. In embodiments, the bellows includes a first bellows section and a second bellows section along the longitudinal axis, which extends at least partially around the outer guide. In embodiments, the bellows has, between the first bellows section and the second bellows section, a support configured for coupling to the outer guide, the support being mounted loosely on the outer guide in a first longitudinal axis direction and being decoupleable from the outer guide in a second longitudinal axis direction. The invention can provide, inter alia, an air spring with an increased lifespan.

    摘要: A rodent trap and a method of managing rodent control using a rodent trap are disclosed. The rodent trap includes a housing including a kill compartment that houses at least one electric shocking device for shocking a rodent, an entrance tunnel at a first end of the kill compartment, and a door at a second end of the kill compartment. The entrance tunnel is of a length and shape so as to prevent an operative from accidentally inserting a hand into the kill compartment. The entrance tunnel includes a sensor. The trap further includes a power source, an interface, and a printed circuit board for determining that the shocking device has triggered, that the rodent has not departed from the housing within a defined time period, and that facilitates communication sending a signal remotely.
