Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the course of a vehicle which is fitted with navigation sensors for measuring navigation data, especially an underwater vehicle. According to said method, in order to calculate an optimum course which provides a very good approximation of the effective covered course of the vehicle, the positions of the vehicle at the beginning of the course and at the end of the course are measured, the measured navigation data is stored as a function of time during the displacement, a first course covered by the vehicle is calculated using the stored navigation data, from the vehicle position at the beginning of the course, and a fictitious second course is calculated from the vehicle position at the end of the course, for a return time from the moment the course ends, and the two courses are mutually compensated.

Abstract: An arbiter for a switch maintains a pair of counters for each flow of traffic at each input port: one counter (also called "first counter") to indicate an ideal transfer of traffic, and another counter (also called "second counter") to indicate the actual transfer of traffic. Both counters are incremented when traffic is received by the input port, and the second counter is decremented when a unit of traffic (such as a cell or packet) is about to be transmitted whereas the first counter is decremented in a fractional manner (relative to the unit of traffic) in each period of arbitration, based on available bandwidth. The arbiter selects one of the output ports (also called "winning output port") of the switch, based at least partially on values of the two counters for each flow from the input port to one of the output ports, and generates a signal to approve transfer of traffic from the input port to the winning output port. In several embodiments, the above-described flow can be for either high priority traffic or for low priority traffic, and any bandwidth leftover from transferring high priority traffic is used in transferring low priority traffic. Specifically, the arbiter maintains additional counters for each port indicative of total bandwidth being used, and the additional counters are used to allocate leftover bandwidth in an iterative manner, until a flow from an input port to an output port is saturated, at which time the saturated flow is removed from iteration. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A gas-filled spring (1) operates using gas (13, 14) and may be intended for a motor cycle. The gas-filled spring comprises a cylinder (2) and a piston (4), said cylinder comprising a compression chamber and a return chamber (8, 9). An arrangement maintains the necessary quantities of gas and gas pressure settings or differential pressures in the chambers despite any gas leakage and temperature variations occurring. Arranged between the chambers is a passage (12), which is open only in a predetermined position of the cylinder and the piston relative to one another. In the open position gas transfer between the chambers and/or pressure equalization in or differential pressure adjustment of the gas pressures in the chambers are permitted. The invention also relates to a valve for counteracting rapid changes in leakage and temperature. The desired spring characteristic of the gas-filled spring can in this way be maintained despite leakage and temperature variations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A security element which is difficult to copy includes a layer composite which has microscopically fine, optically effective structures of a surface pattern, which are embedded between two layers of the layer composite. In a plane of the surface pattern, which is defined by co-ordinate axes x and y, the optically effective structures are shaped into an interface between the layers in surface portions of a holographically non-copyable security feature. In at least one surface portion the optically effective structure (9) is a diffraction structure formed by additive superimposition of a macroscopic superimposition function (M) with a microscopically fine relief profile (R). Both the relief profile (R), the superimposition function (M) and also the diffraction structure are functions of the co-ordinates x and y. The relief profile (R) is a light-diffractive or light-scattering optically effective structure and, following the superimposition function (M), retains the predetermined profile height. The superimposition function (M) is at least portion-wise steady and is not a periodic triangular or rectangular function. In comparison with the relief profile (R) the superimposition function (M) changes slowly. Upon tilting and rotation of the layer composite the observer sees on the illuminated surface portions light, continuously moving strips which are dependent on the viewing direction.
