  • Patent number: 11930964
    Abstract: A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance includes: a jug (20) having a container (21) and delimiting a food for containing the liquid food substance; and a base (10) that has one or more walls (11) forming a seat (11?) for removably receiving the container (21). The base (10) and/or the container (21) has one or more thermally insulating spacers (11a) spacing the base wall(s) (11) from thermally conditioned outside container wall(s) (21a) when the container (21) is received in or on the seat (11?) so as to prevent or inhibit thermal transfer from the container (21) into the base (10) via the base wall(s) (11) from the container wall(s) (21a) adjacent the base wall(s) (11).

  • Publication number: 20240062985
    Abstract: An x-ray tube includes a thermionic cathode generating an electron beam propagating from the cathode to a target along a beam axis. The x-ray tube has apertures in the form of a control electrode with a first aperture opening, a focusing electrode with a second aperture opening and a beam shaping electrode with a third aperture opening. The first aperture opening is smaller than the emission surface and has a contour rotationally symmetric with respect to the beam axis. The second aperture opening is larger than the first aperture opening and has a contour rotationally symmetric with respect to the beam axis. The third aperture opening has a contour which is aligned with an xy plane and non-rotationally symmetric with respect to the beam axis. The X-ray tube has a simple structure for generating an electron beam where the number of electrons can be varied easily over a wide range.

  • Patent number: 11220956
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for detecting belt slip of a belt drive driving a generator of an internal combustion engine, said belt drive having a belt tensioner that can be adjusted in operation and adjusts the pre-tensioning force of the belt according to the detected belt slip. According to said method, the rotational speed profile of the crankshaft is recorded during an angular window of the crankshaft of m·360 degrees and an average value of the crankshaft rotational speed is formed from said rotational speed profile; temporally independently from the recording of the rotational speed profile of the crankshaft, the rotational speed course of the generator shaft is recorded during an angular window of the generator shaft of n·u?1·360 degrees and an average value of the generator shaft rotational speed is formed from said rotational speed profile.
