A receiver includes a receiver clock oscillator controllable with regard to its receiver oscillator frequency, means for detecting a number of clock periods that the receiver clock oscillator performs in a specifiable period of time, means for extracting a first and a temporally following second reference entry in a received data stream, wherein means for extracting is implemented in order to control means for detecting on the basis of the extracted first and second reference entry with regard to the specifiable period of time, and means for comparing the number of clock periods of the receiver clock oscillator with the information in the second reference entry in order to control the controllable oscillator depending on a comparison result so that the oscillator frequency is increased or decreased so that the oscillator frequency is in a predetermined ratio to a frequency of the clock oscillator in the transmitter or is equal to the frequency of the clock oscillator in the transmitter. This way, in a simple and secure way, without slow phase-locked loops for a jitter suppression, it is guaranteed that the receiver is fixedly synchronized with the transmitter and that simultaneously in case of a receiver array all receivers are also synchronized among each other.

A bed guard assembly includes a one or more end panels, a spanner, connectors and an extension. The spanner is placed against the top or bottom surface a mattress. The connectors connect the spanner to the end panels such that one end panel opposes another end panel across the mattress when the spanner is disposed against the surface of the mattress. The extension is removably attached to one of the connectors and extends from the connector at a substantially right angle with respect to the spanner.

A surgical screw featuring a spontaneous loosening preventive blocking system comprises a threaded stem provided with a head; at least one inclined hole going through said head coming out on one side of said threaded stem, and a stainless metal thread or nail for surgical use inserted in said inclined hole and getting into insertion and engagement relationship with a fractured bone to be compounded.

A method and circuit assembly for the diagnosis of a load path in a vehicle. The load path comprises a DC voltage source, a switchable load permanently connected to a negative pole and a load switch permanently connected to a positive pole, controlled by a load control signal, wherein in the closed state of the load switch a load current can be conducted through the switchable load (34). During diagnosis a test current having a defined level is generated and is output to the switchable load in accordance with a test control signal via a test switch on an output terminal, wherein a resulting voltage is detected, processed and evaluated at the output terminal, wherein the load switch (36) is opened during the diagnosis, and wherein at least two different diagnostic cases are generated via the test control signal and the resulting switching state of the test switch.

An interphase coating is formed by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) on the fibers constituting a fiber preform, the interphase coating comprising at least an inner layer in contact with the fibers for embrittlement relief to the composite material, and an outer layer for bonding with the ceramic matrix. The fiber preform is then kept in its shape by the fibers provided with the interphase coating and is consolidated by being impregnated with a liquid composition containing a ceramic precursor, and by transforming the precursor into a ceramic matrix consolidation phase. The consolidated preform is then densified by an additional ceramic matrix phase. No support tooling is needed for forming the interphase coating by CVI or for densification after consolidation using the liquid technique.

A method for selecting metal alloys as the electric contact materials for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) metal contact switches. This method includes a review of alloy experience, consideration of equilibrium binary alloy phase diagrams, obtaining thin film material properties and, based on a suitable model, predicting contact electrical resistance performance. After determination of a candidate alloy material, MEMS switches are conceptualized, fabricated and tested to validate the alloy selection methodology. Minimum average contact resistance values of 1.17 and 1.87 ohms are achieved for micro-switches with gold (Au) and gold-platinum (Au-(6.3 at %)Pt) alloy contacts. In addition, ‘hot-switched’ life cycle test results of 1.02×10⁸ and 2.70×10⁸ cycles may be realized for micro-switches with Au and Au-(6.3 at %)Pt contacts. These results indicate increased wear with a small increase in contact resistance for MEMS switches with metal alloy electric contacts.
