Abstract: An agricultural machine, such as a tractor, is disclosed. The agricultural machine includes a driver assistance system, which comprises an input/output unit for specifying an agricultural working task by an operator and for performing the settings relating to an agricultural working task by the operator. The input/output unit displays virtual operating elements, making the settings possible, and the information corresponding to the settings to be made. Further, the input/output unit includes a set-up assistant unit, which allows the operator to set up the driver assistance system using the virtual operating elements. Further, the set-up assistant unit may be configured depending on the working task determined by the operator.

Abstract: In a method or device for dosing toner material in an electrophotographic printer or copier, toner material is introduced into at least one bucket chamber rotatably arranged in an opening at a bottom of a toner reservoir. The bucket chamber has a paddle wheel which seals the opening of the toner reservoir. As the paddlewheel rotates, toner material in the bucket chamber is conveyed into a region. The toner material conveyed from the paddlewheel is further conveyed with a screw conveyor. Also a toner reservoir is provided having a toner removal opening shaped to accommodate at least a portion of a paddlewheel.

Abstract: In a method and device to separate toner material and air from a toner material-air mixture, and first operating phase at toner material-air mixture is supplied to a filter so that air flows through the filter in a first direction. In a second operating phase, the flow of air through the filter in a first direction is interrupted such that toner material deposited on the filter is loosened. In a second operating phase, air flows through the filter in a direction approximately opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: In a method and system for transport of toner material, a reservoir arrangement containing the toner material is provided with a removal opening for removal of the toner material. The toner material is transported away from the removal opening with aid of a tube-shaped conduit, the toner material being transported in the tube-shaped conduit via an air current. A negative pressure is generated relative to environment pressure at the removal opening via the air current in the tube-shaped conduit. The reservoir arrangement is provided with at least one air-permeable and toner-tight region through which air is sucked into the reservoir arrangement upon application of the negative pressure. At least the air-permeable and toner-tight region is partitioned airtight from the environment, environment air being supplied to the partitioned region via a dosing nozzle.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for coating a container for acceptance of consumables. An information carrier is provided on the container for the first memory area in which a container-individual identifier number is non-erasably stored, and an erasable second memory area is provided of the information carrier providing consumable-specific data.

Abstract: A method for improving the printing quality, particularly for electrographic color printing, is described for a printer or copier system (1). Print consumables, particularly toner (59), are monitored in container-exact fashion and substance-specific information are employed for the control of the printing process.

Abstract: In a method for improving the printing quality for electrographic color printing, print consumables, particularly toner, are monitored in container-exact fashion and substance-specific information are employed for the control of the printing process. Toner expiration dates for the consumables are identified and noted early at the respective printing location. The consumable contained in the container and the amount of consumable contained is thus stored in machine-readable fashion at the container. An information carrier is provided at the container for non-contacting transmission of data and energy from a data read and/or write station to the container. A transponder that is provided with an individual hardware identifier is provided as the information carrier. The hardware identifier may be employed as a component part of codes for device control. The printer or copier system disclosed includes a recycling concept for consumables containers.

Abstract: A device for securing pieces of luggage in a luggage compartment of a car has a frame having an adjustable size and placeable on a luggage compartment floor, and a floor mat which is impermeable to liquid and is mounted on the frame.

Abstract: The apparatus for conveying finely powdered material from a reservoir includes a suction/pressure unit that projects into the reservoir. A gas is introduced into the suction/pressure unit and is mixed with the finely powdered material that is sucked into suction/pressure unit from the reservoir to form a powder/gas mixture and this mixture is discharged. Compressed air blows into the reservoir in a finely dispersed manner to fluidized the finely powdered material so that the extraction of the finely powdered material from the reservoir is facilitated.

Abstract: For transporting finely powdered toner material from a reservoir to a delivery opening, a porous bed that forms a down grade is charged with compressed air proceeding from below, whereby the toner material mixes with air to form a liquid-like mixture. This mixture flows along the down grade from the reservoir to the delivery opening.
