/**
 * \brief This class is an abstract "Thread Worker" which allows to implement tasks to be executed in a seperate thread.
 * 
 * Just overload the operator() with your code you want to execute threaded in a loop.
 * Each execution will be completed by the thread, if the thread is set as done/canceled during a run, the cancelation will be postponed until the execution of the functor is completed.
 * 
 * Note: This functor will be executed in a loop until the thread is canceled or set as done=true.
