Abstract: A metal and a plastic test plate are joined in a common plane parallel to each other or in planes partially covering each other and paint layers are applied to the entire surface, then dried and hardened. Paint is applied to form a wedge-shaped thickness gradient across the test plates. Optical measurements are made in a grid shaped pattern to determine the surface properties influencing the visual aspects and layer thickness is measured on the metal plate only. Preferred Features: Both test plates are rectangular and are connected either by their edges or rear faces. e.g. by use of adhesive tape on the non-painted rear faces or in the case of an overlapping connection by use of double-sided adhesive tape. Surface properties influencing the visual impression are measured over the entire surface of both the plastic and metal test plates. The thickness of the wedge shaped layer on the metal test plate is determined by a method suitable for use only on metallic substrates. Measured data from each point is entered in correlation diagrams comparing visual characteristics in relation to layer thickness.

Abstract: A virtual circuit whose path across a network is specified by a human operator (hereinafter operator directed route or ODR VC) is established by manually provisioning a preferred path for the connection, including a source node, destination node, and intermediate nodes or subnetworks therebetween. The source node creates a call setup message which is signalled along the preferred path, whereby the intermediate nodes along the preferred path establish the bearer channel cross-connects. The operator also specifies a re-routing scheme for the ODR VC in the event the preferred path is blocked or a link subsequently fails. The re-routing scheme includes one of (a) the preferred path only; (b) at least one manually provisioned alternate path; and (c) any available path. The ODR VC provides the benefit of a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) in terms of the ability to consciously route a connection with the benefit of a soft permanent virtual circuit (SPVC) or switched virtual circuit (SVC) in terms of the capability to efficiently re-route connections by the network as opposed to a central management authority. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for starting a mobile fuel cell system, in particular for a vehicle, includes conveying air to be supplied to the system during starting and operation of the system by a motor-powered compressor, in order to ensure a necessary operating pressure and, if required, additional humidifying of the air. A motor drive for the compressor has an electric motor which is supplied from a mobile starter battery during a starting phase. An output voltage of the starter battery is different from an operating voltage at an output of a fuel cell stack of the fuel cell system. A control device is provided between an output of the starter battery or of the fuel cell stack and a motor input. The control device interrupts the starting voltage supplied from the output of the starter battery and switches over to the output voltage of the fuel cell stack when the output operating voltage of the fuel cell stack reaches an adequate level. A fuel cell system is also provided.
