    INSECT 2007 International Symposium on ElectroChemical Machining Technology Invitation and Program October 25-26, 2007 Fraunhofer IWU Chemnitz Germany Program.indd 1 15.08.2007 10:44:03 Preface Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Colleagues, It is an honor for me to invite you to the 4th INSECT 2007. The International Symposium on ElectroChemical Machining Tech- nology INSECT serves as a platform for researchers and engineers working on electrochemical machining technologies. The Symposium concentrates on the technical aspects of applications, e.g. in macro and micro structuring focusing on quality and efficiency, as well as on the fundamental understanding of the processes at the electrode electrolyte interface. The 4th INSECT 2007 will take place in Chemnitz and ties up to the successful past conferences in Düsseldorf (2004), Freiburg (2005) and Dresden (2006). Chemnitz is the heart of an emerging industrial area in Saxony with great history in the machine tool industry and automotive manufac- turing. Nowadays, the strong connection of basic as well as applied research with the manufacturing industry is one of the drivers for the outstanding economic success in Saxony during the last years. Chemnitz lies at the foothills of the Erz Mountains and in its vicin- ity are impressive historical places such as the Augustusburg Castle, where the conference dinner will take place. I am convinced that the 4th INSECT 2007 will serve as a platform for discussions and as a place for meeting colleagues and learning about new developments in electrochemical machining. See you in Chemnitz. Yours sincerely Prof. Andreas Schubert Program.indd 2 15.08.2007 10:44:04 Thursday, October 25 09.00 Registration 10.00 Welcome and Introduction A.

  • Sixteenth-Century Gospel Harmonies: Chemnitz and Mercator HENK JAN DE JONGE Leiden
    Sixteenth-century Gospel Harmonies: Chemnitz and Mercator HENK JAN DE JONGE Leiden In the seminar devoted to the study of the sixteenth- century harmonies of the Gospels, three papers were read and discussed. I. The first paper was presented by Professor Bernt T. Oftestad of Oslo. It was entitled «The Gospel Harmony of Martin Chemnitz: Its Theological Aims and Methodological Presuppositions». The first part (chs 1-51) of the Harmonia evangelica was composed by the Lutheran theologian Martin Chemnitz (1522-1586) and published after his death by Polykarp Leyser in 1593. Leyser carried on Chemnitz's work and published a considerable portion of it (chs 52-140) in the years 1603-1611. The project was completed by Johann Gerhard in 1626-1627 (chs 141-180). The whole of this monumental Gospel har- mony was published in three fol. volumes at Frankfurt and Hamburg in 1652. Professor Oftestad discussed in detail the theological views and assumptions that had led the founding father of the project, Chemnitz, to undertake the work. Information 156 HENK JAN DE JONGE about Chemnitz's ideas with regard to bis harmonization work is contained in his Prolegomena. \. Chemnitz warited to reconstruct a single, chronologically trustworthy account of Jesus' public rninistry, based ori the four Gospels. True, God had entrusted the task of describing Jesus' ministry to four different authors. But in Chemnitz's view the fact that there were four authors, not one, posed no fundamental problem since the Gospels differed without contradicting each other. In reconstructing the chronological order underlying the Gospels, Chemnitz followed Augustine's principle according to which none of the evangelists could be deemed to have preserved the true, historically correct order of the events nar- rated.

  • Die Elektrifizierung Der Strecke Leipzig – Chemnitz Mit Dem Z
    1. Welche Priorität hat die Strecke für den Freistaat Sachsen? Die Elektrifizierung der Strecke Leipzig – Chemnitz mit dem Ziel, eine Anbindung Südwestsachsens an den Schienenpersonenfernverkehr zu ermöglichen, ist seit langem ein wichtiges Anliegen des Freistaates. Das Vorhaben ist Gegenstand des nach öffentlicher Anhörung beschlossenen „Landesentwicklungsplans 2013“, des „Landesverkehrsplans Sachsen 2025“ und der Anmeldungen des Freistaats Sachsen zum Bundesverkehrswegeplan (BVWP) 2015. Die Strecke soll perspektivisch elektrifiziert und in Abschnitten wieder zweigleisig ausgebaut werden, um die infrastrukturellen Voraussetzungen für attraktivere Verkehrsangebote im Schienenpersonennah- und -fernverkehr zu schaffen. 2. Welche Varianten kommen für einen solchen Ausbau in Frage Grundsätzlich standen für den Streckenausbau zwischen Chemnitz und Leipzig die zwei Varianten über Borna – City-Tunnel-Leipzig (CTL) sowie über Bad Lausick zur Auswahl. Fahrzeitstudien ergaben, dass Fernverkehrszüge via Borna - CTL rund zwölf Minuten längere Fahrzeiten hätten als über Bad Lausick. Daher wurde nur die Streckenführung via Bad Lausick für den weiteren Ausbau untersucht. Im Detail wurden sechs verschiedene Szenarien für den Ausbau und die Elektrifizierung dieser Strecke untersucht. 3. Welches ist die Vorzugsvariante? Als Vorzugsvariante wurde die Streckenführung über Geithain – Bad Lausick ermittelt. Diese Entscheidung „für Bad Lausick“ ist keine Entscheidung „gegen City-Tunnel und gegen Borna“. Da die Strecke vom CTL über Borna bis Geithain bereits

This result is somewhat surprising, since it has been known for quite a while that unique continuation of eigenfunctions fails for graphs. However, a spectral uncertainty principle can still be applied and gives explicit and uniform estimates that exhibit \the right" geometric features. One important input of independent interest is the spectral geometry on general weighted graphs, in particular universal estimates for the first non{zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on such graphs.

  • Wintape XXL Promises More Efficient Tape Yarn Production
    Press Release Automatic special winder for baler twines WinTape XXL promises more efficient tape yarn production Chemnitz, Düsseldorf, October 19, 2016 – the Oerlikon Barmag tape yarn concept – comprising the EvoTape extrusion system and the automatic WinTape winder – provides a whole new di- mension in terms of efficiency. At this this year’s ‘K’ plastics trade fair in Düsseldorf, the Chem- nitz-based tape and monofilament systems specialist will be presenting its new automatic Win- Tape XXL tape yarn winder for the very first time. This special winder for manufacturing baler twine supports the full potential of the EvoTape system. Its maximum speed for the baler twine process is 400 m/min, with an output of 1,000 kg/h. The WinTape XXL fully-automatically winds packages with weights of up to 300 kg, with winding times of between one and two hours. In addition to this, the WinTape XXL comes with an innovative cutting concept for titers of up to 100,000 dtex. Furthermore, the fully-automatic operation and covers guarantee a high safety standard. With this, the WinTape XXL tape yarn winder has created a new benchmark with regards to productivity and oc- cupational safety when manufacturing baler twines. EvoTape & WinTape – the perfect duo The EvoTape and WinTape tape yarn solution – launched at the last plastics trade fair in 2013 – is available for numerous processes: to this end, the concept promises considerably more efficient pro- duction when manufacturing carpet backing, geotextiles, agricultural textiles and artificial turf than in the case of conventional systems. And the EvoTape 800 with the WinTape mini system is available for circular-woven sacks (big bags).
