Abstract: A nominal drive strategy for a control of a drive system is determined in an electronic motor vehicle system, dependent on current drive situation and a drive situation to be expected, and dependent on energy-, safety-, driver type-, and other related standards. The nominal drive strategy is suggested to the driver which can accept it by a predetermined activation of an operating element, whereupon the nominal drive strategy is automatically performed. The method involves controlling a drive system in a motor vehicle in dependence on information about a current drive situation and a drive situation to be expected, which are recorded in an electronic motor vehicle system over internal and external sources of information. A nominal drive strategy for the control of at least one drive system in the motor vehicle is determined in the electronic motor vehicle system, dependent on these data and dependent on energy-, safety-, comfort -, pollutant emission-, noise-, and/or driver type-related standards. The nominal drive strategy is suggested to the driver which can accept it by a predetermined activation of an operating element, whereupon the nominal drive strategy is automatically performed.

Abstract: Switched-mode power supplies require a power
factor correction circuit in order to comply with
anticipated regulations for the harmonic load on the line
network. The object is to specify a switched-mode power
supply of this type, which operates reliably over a wide
input voltage range. 
     In its second current path (I2), which produces a
connection between a rectifier element (BR) and a tap (A)
on the primary winding (W1) of a transformer (TR), the
switched-mode power supply contains a capacitor (C19)
which produces current limiting for an inductance (L19)
in this current path. When the switching transistor (T60)
is in the switching mode the inductance (L19) is charged,
when the switching transistor (T60) is switched on, in
the sense of an energy store until the capacitor (C19) is
charged. When the switching transistor (T60) is switched
off, the inductance (L19) and the capacitor (C19) are
discharged via a diode (D18) in the direction of an
energy-storage capacitor (C20). 
     Particular applications include television sets
and similar consumer electronics equipment.

Abstract: This invention is a new device that can be used to plug perforations in
materials. This plug comprises a cylinder plug with a tapered bore partially
extending through the plug from one end. A cylinder pin that is tapered
substantially the same as the plug will fit in the plug after installation is
complete. A shear flange surrounds the pin so that when the pin is installed in
the plug , the shear flange is against a plug flange. The pin is adhered to the
plug by means such as a thin layer of epoxy or glue which allows the pin and
plug to be handled as a single component. The pin is designed so that while in
this position, there is no significant radial expansion of the plug. The pin has a
pattem of holes or grooves that extend the entire length of the pin in order to
allow for the expansion of any trapped fluids in the bore of the plug. The pin
can have a groove along the outer diameter to allow for easier handling of the
pin. The diameter size of these openings are not important, as long as the
openings are large enough to resist plugging with debris.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transmitting a digital picture signal generated
at a first sampling rate to be received by a receiver at a higher sampling rate
and is of advantage in converting a standard television signal to a high
definition (HDTV) signal. 
     The invention provides that the picture signal is generated, compressed and
transmitted. The signal is then decompressed for application to the receiver.
Additional picture information is generated and added to the video signal to
change the signal from the first to the second sampling rate. The addition of
the additional picture information takes place at a point in the sequence of
transmission following the compression of the digital signal at the first
sampling rate and before the signal is applied to the receiver. By this means,
the cost and complexity of a compression encoder to compress the picture
signal at the higher sampling rate is avoided.
