Abstract: Various exemplary devices and methods for heating fuel hoses and nozzles are provided. In general, the devices and methods for heating fuel hoses and nozzles can be configured to heat fluid dispensable by a user into a fuel tank or other type of container. In some embodiments, a fuel dispensing device can include a first passageway configured to pass fluid therethrough and can include a second passageway configured to pass heated air therethrough. The heated air passing through the second passageway can be configured to heat the fluid passing through the first passageway. In some embodiments, a fuel dispensing device can include a single hose configured to pass fluid and heated air through separate passageways therein, and the device can include a manifold configured to facilitate passage of the fluid and the heated air from separate sources into the single hose.

Abstract: There is provided a mobile control unit for a wind turbine which has a plurality of components. The mobile control unit has a supply module having a main control unit and at least one control module coupled to the supply module for controlling the components of the wind turbine. The main control unit serves for controlling the components of the wind turbine by means of the control modules connected to the supply module.

Abstract: An aircraft beacon device for a wind power installation having a nacelle and a tower supporting the nacelle is provided. The aircraft beacon device includes a plurality of beacon lights, a central control unit for individually controlling the beacon lights, and a transmission system having an energy distribution system for individually supplying electrical energy to the beacon lights to operate the beacon lights. The transmission system has a data bus system for individually controlling the beacon lights, and the data bus system carries control data between the central control unit and the beacon lights.

Abstract: A processing station automatically manufactures a cable harness containing a plurality of individual lines. The processing station has a support unit for holding a line bundle containing the individual lines with a predefined, even branched, routing, and a processing unit for the automated fixing of the individual lines of the line bundle to one another. The processing unit has a fixing unit, which is configured for the automated application of a fixing agent to the line bundle. A manipulator is provided for moving the processing unit relative to the line bundle.

Abstract: A web based server system is disclosed and facilitates the sharing of a radio transmission resource. The state owners have locations at which radio transmission equipment may be located, possibly sharing with existing equipment. Service providers control transmission equipment at selected locations and provide a radio service. Contractors erect equipment at the selected locations in response to orders placed by service providers. An authority wishes to maximise the sharing of existing locations and thereby minimise the use of new green field locations. The server system is configured to establish an on-line market that facilitates the creation of contracts between estate owners and service providers. The execution of the contracts are monitored by receiving progress data from contractors service providers and estate owners. Contract specific data and enterprise specific data is made available to each of the contractors, service providers and estate owners.

Abstract: A device for shaping the behavior of an animal using a behavior marking and reward delivery system is provided. The compact behavior shaping device includes a battery, a trigger assembly, a receiver, a spring assembly, and a bore assembly, and is capable of storing and propelling commonly used motivational items, such as food, toys, dummies, tugs, balls, prey items, and other such objects, over a range of approximately 10 to 50 feet. The animal trainer manually compresses the spring assembly, which is then engaged by the trigger assembly. When the receiver receives a signal from a transmitter, it triggers the release of a motivational item from the device by activating the trigger assembly and/or triggers the occurrence of a marking event, such as a noise. A variety of wired and wireless transmitter devices, such as a hand-held transmitter, a motion sensor, a pressure sensor, and/or a shock sensor may be used to transmit the signal to the receiver.
