The invention concerns a connector for producing a press connection with at least one pipe, which is pressed tightly against the connector radially by irreversible deformation or by a collar. The invention also concerns a press connection consisting of a connector and connecting pipe. The connector is composed of a basic pipe-shaped body 12, on whose outer periphery there is at least one area 14 against which the pipe 16 is tightly pressed radially. The basic body 12 is made of polyvinylidene fluoride which has a long life and high pressure and temperature resistance.

Improved measuring apparatus of the vibratory string type including a molded synthetic plastic body member containing a horizontal through passage for receiving the permanent magnet excitation and sensing system, and a pair of integral parallel horizontal wing-like projections that extend from the body member in supporting relation on opposite sides of the exciting magnet system. The body member also contains a through bore arranged in spaced relation directly beneath the through passage, a rear recess being provided in the rear face of the body member for receiving clamping means having a bearing portion that extends through the through bore for connection with the lower end of the vertically arranged measuring string. Additional apertures are formed in the body member for connecting the same to a fixed support or console.

A medical system includes a carrier and a multiplicity of electromechanical transducers mounted to the carrier, the transducers being disposable in effective pressure-wave-transmitting contact with a patient. Energization componentry is operatively connected to a first plurality of the transducers for supplying the same with electrical signals of at least one pre-established ultrasonic frequency to produce first pressure waves in the patient. A control unit is operatively connected to the energization componentry and includes an electronic analyzer operatively connected to a second plurality of the transducers for performing electronic 3D volumetric data acquisition and imaging (which includes determining three-dimensional shapes) of internal tissue structures of the patient by analyzing signals generated by the second plurality of the transducers in response to second pressure waves produced at the internal tissue structures in response to the first pressure waves. The control unit includes phased-array signal processing circuitry for effectuating an electronic scanning of the internal tissue structures which facilitates one-dimensional (vector), 2D (planar), and 3D (volume) data acquisition. The control unit further includes circuitry for defining multiple data gathering apertures and for coherently combining structural data from the respective apertures to increase spatial resolution. When the data gathering apertures are contained in a flexible web or carrier so that the instantaneous positions of the data gathering apertures are unknown, a self-cohering algorithm is used to determine their positions so that coherent aperture combining can be performed.

Devices, systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a network device for interfacing a host with a network are described. One example network device includes a transmit path, and a receive path. A loopback path connects the transmit path and the receive path. A frame detection logic is configured to monitor network traffic on the transmit path to identify loopback frames. When a loopback frame is detected, a loopback logic routes the identified loopback frame onto the loopback path and then to the receive path. The rerouted loopback frame may then be received by a host or an embedded client from the receive path.

A plant for the heat treatment of solids containing iron oxide includes a fluidized bed reactor. The reactor includes at least one gas supply tube at least partly surrounded by an annular chamber in which a stationary annular fluidized bed is located, and a mixing chamber being located above the upper orifice region of the at least one gas supply tube. The gas flowing through the at least one gas supply tube entrains solids from the stationary annular fluidized bed-into the mixing chamber when passing through the upper orifice region of the at least one gas supply tube.

A pumping unit having a pump chamber in which a rotor is mounted in a rotatable manner, and which is formed by a circumferential wall and two end walls, is already known. The circumferential wall is formed on an annular collar of a pump part and, on the inside, forms a track on which sealing bodies of a rotor roll. The track of the pump chamber is subjected to high compressive loading which, if the pump part is made of plastic, may result in the track rupturing. In the case of the pumping unit according to the invention, the pump part is improved in respect of strength and service life. Deformation of the pump part by hydraulic forces or by pressing-in forces is avoided. The invention provides that ribs are arranged on the outside of the circumferential wall, the outside being directed away from the pump chamber, or that arranged on that side of the end wall which is directed away from the pump chamber is at least one shoulder which is connected in a force-fitting manner, by means of a press fit, to the pump housing and is designed with thin walls to the extent where the pressing forces do not result in any deformation to the end wall of the pump chamber.
