Abstract: A filter arrangement (1) comprises a filter housing (2) with a housing base (3) and housing walls (4). A cover arrangement (6) closes the filter housing (2). Resonator inner conductors (8) extend from the housing base (3) to the cover arrangement (6) and end at a distance therefrom. Each of the first resonator inner conductors (8) comprises a first and a second end (8a, 8b). The first end (8a) is galvanically connected to the housing base (3). At least one insulator assembly (15) is arranged between the second end (8b) of the respective first resonator inner conductor (8) and the cover arrangement (3). The respective first resonator inner conductor (8) is variable in length and resilient along its longitudinal axis so that the second end (8b) can be moved towards and away from the first end (8a), thereby keeping the insulator assembly (15) pressed against the cover arrangement (6).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a linear actuator, the housing of which encloses a pushrod which is guided displaceably along a longitudinal axis. The linear actuator includes a linear travel sensor intended for determining a position of the pushrod. A housing-side position receiver of the linear travel sensor includes a receiver section extending along the longitudinal axis, and a pushrod-side position transmitter that interacts contactlessly with the position receiver. The position transmitter is made from an electrically conductive material, and a transmitter contour of the linear travel sensor is curved about at least one dimensional axis.

Abstract: A floor cassette for a housing module includes a base that is sized to fit under a floor of the modular housing unit. The floor cassette also includes a perimeter drain incorporated into a perimeter of the base, where the perimeter drain comprises a cavity designed to collect liquid from the floor of the modular housing unit. The cavity of the perimeter drain also comprises an air duct that delivers heated or cooled air to the modular housing unit.

Abstract: An electronic cigarette comprises along a central Z-axis from bottom to top a cartridge unit and a control unit detachably arranged thereon, wherein the electronic cigarette includes a control unit for control and a battery unit for electronic power supply the battery unit having a battery cell having a negative pole and a positive pole spaced apart therefrom by an insulator. A negative contact and a positive contact are arranged on the control unit such that they are connected to the corresponding negative pole and positive pole, respectively, of the battery cell. The control unit has a geometric spatial structure perpendicular to the central Z-axis with a diameter, with which diameter the control unit forms a snug fit in the electronic cigarette.

Abstract: A bird nest box system is provided that includes a nesting enclosure, a moveable nest floor, and a floor movement mechanism that moves the nest floor between a lowered position and a raised position, the nest floor being mounted over the floor movement mechanism. The floor movement mechanism includes a driveshaft, a gear assembly coupled to the driveshaft and actuatable by rotation of the driveshaft, and a lift arm. The lift arm is actuatable by the gear assembly to rotate the nest floor toward a front opening of the nest enclosure. The gear assembly provides at least one gear reduction between the driveshaft and the lift arm.

Abstract: A method for mediating an interaction between a control station and a remote system includes maintaining, at a command monitor, data characterizing an operation of the remote system in response to execution of commands at the remote system, receiving, at the command monitor, state information from the remote system, updating the data characterizing the operation of the remote system based on the received state information, receiving, at the command monitor, one or more commands sent from the control station, determining a predicted set of one or more outcomes that would result from execution of the one or more commands at the remote system based at least in part on the data characterizing the operation of the remote system, and preventing issuance of at least one command of the one or more commands at the remote system based on the predicted set of one or more outcomes.

Abstract: A set of plastic lifts are placed between sheet pans or trays in order to stack them within an oven and during cooling and transport. The dimensions of the plastic lifts are selected to provide adequate tray spacing for circulation of air between the trays for cooking and cooling purposes. Preferably, the plastic lifts comprise a set of four cylindrical lifts of 2½? height and eight cylindrical lifts of 1¼? height, with two of the smaller lifts nested within an axial bore of each of the larger lifts. The lifts are fabricated of a non-slide plastic material able to withstand temperatures up to 400° F. and capable of rapid cooling. The primary object is to achieve greater efficiency in domestic and commercial food preparation by heating and transporting multiple trays at the same time and enabling a more compact footprint for the trays.
