Abstract:
People mover (2) comprising an endless tread belt (6) formed from several tread elements (4) connected to one another, which is driven by a drive unit about a first and second reversal point (22), and a side skirt (24) moved along with tread belt (6), the side skirt (24) comprising flange elements (28) joined to the tread element (4) and bridge elements (30) connected movably relative to flange elements (28). A sensor (38) is arranged adjacent to the side skirt (24), the sensor (38) having a limited detection range perpendicular to the circulation direction of side skirt (24), and a plurality of marking elements are arranged in a line on side skirt (24) along the circulating direction having a limited width perpendicular to the circulating direction.
Abstract:
A plasma spraying apparatus is provided comprising a plasma gun shaft member and a plasma gun head member, connected to the plasma gun shaft member and adapted to create a plasma torch escaping radially from the head member. In order to enable the plasma gun head member and, thereby, those parts and elements thereof that are subject to wear quickly and easily, the plasma gun head member is of modular design. For fixing the plasma gun head member to the plasma gun shaft member, the electrical contact elements provided for transmitting electrical power on the plasma gun head member are used. These electrical contact elements tower above that front face of the plasma gun head member that is intended to be connected to the plasma gun shaft member. Clamping the head member to the shaft member is accomplished by means of quick release lever members provided on the shaft member. That lever members are provided with eccentric portions engaging recesses provided on the electrical contact elements.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a device, comprising a hollow body having at least one open end comprising at least one solid matrix binding, adsorbing, absorbing, chelating or retaining compounds which are not desired in a sample and preferably at least one barrier which is non-permeable for liquids and solids under ambience conditions, however, becomes liquid-permeable by applying an external force to the barrier, the use of such a device for isolating or purifying a biomolecule from a sample, a method for preparation of the device and a method for isolation or purification of any biomolecule using said device.
Abstract:
The invention resides in a hydraulic cylinder (23) for a hydraulic drawing cushion (20) of a drawing press (10). The hydraulic cylinder (23) includes a first operating chamber (47), a second operating chamber (48), and a third operating chamber (53). An annular piston (45) with a first piston surface area (49) and a second piston surface area (50) separates the first operating chamber (47) from the second operating chamber (48). The first and the second piston surfaces (49, 50) have the same size. A front surface of the piston rod (33) forms a third piston surface (54) which is larger than the first and second piston surfaces. The third piston surface (54) delimits the third operating chamber (53) of the hydraulic cylinder (23). The first and the second operating chambers (47, 48) are provided for controlling the position and/or the movement of the piston rod (33). The third operating chamber (53) serves to control the metal sheet clamping force of the drawing press via the piston rod (33).
Abstract:
In the turbine housing for an exhaust gas turbocharger of a drive assembly at least one spiral channel, which can be coupled to an exhaust gas line of the drive assembly is provided A receiving chamber for a turbine wheel to which exhaust gas can be supplied is disposed upstream of the at least one spiral channel. The turbine wheel is disposed in the turbine housing so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis. A guide baffle is arranged fixed to the turbine housing in a transition region between the at least one spiral channel, the guide baffle being connected to the turbine housing by a metal-to-metal joint whereby the guide baffle is connected to the turbine housing in a particular tight manner.
Abstract:
Water-soluble, solid, film-shaped preparations comprising at least one film-forming polymer selected from the group consisting of the fully and partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohols, and at least one water-insoluble, oily liquid which is incorporated into the film-forming polymer and amounts to at least 30 percent by weight, relative to the dry portion of the preparation. Methods for producing the preparations and the use thereof are also provided.
