Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the tensioning force of connection components (1), such as screws or bolts, by wide-band ultrasound excitation. The inventive method uses a pulse generator for generating an ultrasound pulse (7) with a statistically distributed phase position of used and/or resolvable frequency components with a pre-determinable pulse width. The pulse width is adapted to distances of ultrasound pulse echoes (8) in such a way that there is no overlapping of individual reflections, and the maximum possible pulse duration is reached. The received ultrasound pulse echo (8) is temporally selected in relation to at least one reflection and subjected to a transformation method in such a way that, for a defined moment related to the ultrasound pulse (7), all frequency contributions are shifted temporally or in relation to the phase.

Abstract: An extruded propylene resin foam which can have a reduced average cell diameter while retaining a heightened expansion ratio and which hence has excellent heat-insulating performance. The extruded propylene resin foam is one obtained by extrusion-foaming a propylene resin and has an expansion ratio of 10 or higher and an average cell diameter smaller than 400 µm. Due to this constitution, the extruded foam can have many cell walls therein. The extruded propylene resin foam can hence efficiently block external radiant heat and has excellent heat-insulating performance.

Abstract: A method for sharing a total licensed pool between network elements is disclosed. In the method, each of the network elements has a fixed available capacity. In a first step, an offered load capacity limit based on the total licensed pool and the available capacity is determined. Next, each of the network elements communicates a message comprising the offered load capacity limit. Then, each of the network elements monitor for messages. If a message is not received from one of the network elements, the network element that is not communicating is considered a failed network element. Upon detection of the failed network element, the offered load capacity of the failed network element is redistributed.
