Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for determining and/or monitoring the fill level (F) of a medium in a container or, respectively, to a method and a device for establishing the density (ρ) of a medium in the container. The invention allows a highly accurate determination or monitoring of the fill level (F) or the density of a medium in a container. With reference to the method, the object is solved in that the influence of at least one disturbing parameter on the oscillation frequency of an oscillation-capable unit is established and correspondingly compensated in the determination of the fill level (F) of the medium in the container or, respectively, in the determination of the density (ρ) of the medium in the container.
Abstract:
The subject matter of the invention is a sugar-free hard dragee consisting of a compressed core and a hard coating completely surrounding the compressed core, wherein the hard dragee is sugar-free. The compressed core contains a mixture of erythritol. D-sorbitol and steviol whereas the hard coating contains a mixture of D-maltitol, erythritol and stevia/steviol. The hard dragees according to the invention surprisingly have a good compatibility in spite off the combination of sugar replacement substances and non-sugar sweeteners. Moreover, the compressed cores of the hard dragees according to the invention have a very good compressibility.
Abstract:
A temperature of a metal melt in a furnace is maintained after blowing away slag from a surface of the metal melt by the flow of oxygen and switching over from oxygen to an inert gas, such as nitrogen. A measured temperature of the metal melt is accepted as a metal melt temperature only when the inert gas flow is in a laminar state and after the measured temperature has fluctuated by a maximum of 1% over a period of at least 2 seconds.
Abstract:
An internal unit of a washing machine or spin-dryer normally includes a washing container, which has a laundry drum mounted in the container such that it can rotate, and an electric motor for driving the laundry drum via a reduction gear, a transmission, or direct drive. The internal unit is suspended in a machine housing such that it can vibrate and constitutes an overall system which can vibrate in a damped manner and which is subject to unbalance-dependent resonance phenomena in specific regions of the rotational speed of the laundry drum. The causes of these resonance phenomena are vibratory movements due to momentary unbalances in the load in the laundry drum. To reduce these unbalance-dependent resonance phenomena, the internal unit is provided with a vibration sensor which is rigidly or substantially rigidly coupled to the internal unit
Abstract:
An interchangeable container for a system for building a mold body by forming superimposed layers of granular material, the granular material locally and selectively hardened layer by layer. The container includes a bottom structure that is displaceable in the interior of the container in a direction in parallel with the container side walls and at least one spindle drive having a vertical screw spindle rotatably mounted in a container side of the container, and a spindle screw nut on which the bottom structure is supported. The bottom structure can be lowered step by step in the interior of the container by the spindle drive.
Abstract:
A method is specified for controlling a polyphase brushless electric motor, wherein the motor phase currents which are associated with the phases are produced by clocked variation of the respectively applied electrical potential. In this case, the motor phase currents flow back from the electric motor via a common return line with the peak current value in the return line being detected and being included in a controlled variable. Furthermore, a circuit configuration is specified, which is provided in a corresponding manner in order to carry out the control method. The control method and the circuit configuration allow the motor phase currents to be taken into account in the control of the electric motor in a simple and cost-effective manner.

Abstract:
In a method for controlling the heat in an internal combustion engine for a vehicle with a coolant circuit and actuable devices for influencing the heat balance of the internal combustion engine, wherein a coolant temperature and further operating parameters of the internal combustion engine are recorded, the actuable devices are operated as a function of the coolant temperature and the further operating parameters of the internal combustion engine in such a manner that an output value for determining a control variable is provided by means of a basic characteristic diagram as a function of the rotational speed and the load on the internal combustion engine, and this control value is corrected by means of a controller as a function of the coolant temperature and/or the further operating parameters.
Abstract:
In a method of transmitting a measurement signal M between a measuring unit 1 and a control unit 10, the uniform measurement signal has a supplementary signal Z superimposed on it which alternates over time. To check the operation of the measuring unit 1, the measurement signal M is evaluated in the control unit 10. If the supplementary signal Z is erroneous, the control unit 10 produces an alarm signal.
