The support section lies with a seal section against a seal device such that a rotor space is sealed off in coolant-tight fashion with respect to a stator space.

Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting a volume level in an online meeting. The method includes step a. holding an online meeting in which participants can have a conversation with one another. In step b. using an AI algorithm, monitoring and recognizing content of a conversation of the participants in the online meeting and assigning content scores to the content, wherein each participant portion of the participants is assigned a recognized sub-content in the conversation based on the content scores. In step c. using the AI algorithm, recognizing a first intersection of content scores from a plurality of sub-contents, and recognizing a second or more intersections of content scores from other multiple sub-contents. In step d. adjusting volume levels of individual participants, by raising or lowering the volume level of a participant portion for such other participants having one or no intersection with the participant portion.
