Abstract: A Samer rod has length adjustable along a longitudinal axis. A first element extends along the axis between a first coupling end and an engagement section end, and a second element extends along the axis between a second coupling end and a receiving end. A receiving hole extends along the axis, inside the first element, away from the receiving end to the second coupling end. The engagement section has an outer row of teeth extending parallel to the axis with evenly spaced teeth extending perpendicular to the axis in the circumferential direction of the engagement section. The receiving hole has an inner row of teeth extending parallel to the axis with evenly spaced teeth extending perpendicular to the axis in the circumferential direction of the receiving hole wall. The spacing of the teeth of the two rows in the direction of the axis corresponds to one another.

Abstract: A system for monitoring access to a vehicle has a control unit, a plurality of sensor devices configured to be fastened to an outer side of the vehicle, are coupled to the control unit and are configured to capture objects in a three-dimensional manner in a field of view of the sensor devices, and at least one signal output device coupled to the control unit. The sensor devices are configured to capture objects in spatial areas predetermined by the relevant sensor devices and to transmit capture data representing the capture of objects to the control unit. The control unit is configured to receive and use the capture data to detect an object approaching a predefined monitoring area covered by the predetermined spatial areas of the sensor devices. The control unit is configured to transmit a control signal to the signal output device if an object is detected.

Abstract: A fairing transition is provided for covering a gap between a movable body and a fixed body on a vehicle that includes, but is not limited to a base plate that is attachable to a vehicle, a cover plate that is attachable to the base plate. The base plate and the cover plate include, but are not limited to a correspondingly formed connecting profile having positive fit on surfaces that face each other, with the connecting profile configured to slide the cover plate onto the base plate. Furthermore, the cover plate is lockable to the base plate in an end position.

Abstract: A profile for connecting a floor structure. The profile comprises a web with a recess along a longitudinal direction of the profile. The web is adapted to reach into a gap in the floor structure in order to provide the connection of the floor structure. At a first end of the web two lips extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile are attached wherein the lips are adapted to prevent a release of the profile from the gap. The disclosure further relates to a sealing system for a floor structure as well as an aircraft with a sealing system and a method for connecting a floor structure.

Abstract: A system for rigging a control surface of an aircraft, wherein the control surface is movable relative to a reference structure of the aircraft by means of at least one actuator, comprises a mobile control unit having being connectable to at least one actuator, an input means for commanding a deflection of the control surface, and an optical rigging apparatus having a first rigging component and a second rigging component. The first rigging component is adapted for being mounted on a reference structure to which the control surface is swivably attached and the second rigging component is adapted for being mounted on the control surface itself. Thereby an accurate rigging may be conducted with a clearly reduced number of personnel and a clearly reduced time for completion.

Abstract: A centrifuge for separating solids from a liquid including a centrifuge rotor with a rotor shaft, partially formed as a hollow shaft, and a centrifuging drum, being rotatable with the rotor shaft, wherein the liquid to be separated can be supplied via the cavity of the hollow shaft. To ease emptying of the drum, the centrifuging drum includes a drum lower part and a drum upper part, which bears loosely against the drum lower part. The upper part is guided in an axially movable manner on the shaft and is movable by means of a disengagement mechanism parallel to the rotor axis into an open position in which, for self-emptying of the interior space, the drum parts are spaced apart from one another while they still rotate with the rotor shaft.

Abstract: A screwing device includes a threaded hole that extends from an insertion opening to an end of the screwing device, which end is opposite the insertion opening. In the region of the insertion opening a first radial sealing element is arranged that by way of the insertion opening extends outwards in an axial direction of the hole. Spaced apart from the first sealing element in an axial direction of the hole a second radial sealing element is arranged in the screwing device with the internal diameter of the second radial sealing element being smaller than the external diameter of the threaded hole. In this manner a screwing device may be provided that is self-locking, exchangeable, and fluid-proof and that is suitable especially for vehicles and in particular for aircraft.

Abstract: A method for mounting an aircraft component, which in the mounted state is movable between a first and a second operating position and is taken up in its first operating position in a mounting area, comprises the measuring of the mounting area, in order to obtain data characteristic of the shape and/or the dimensions of the mounting area. The data characteristic of the shape and/or the dimensions of the mounting area are projected onto the aircraft component arranged in its second operating position. Finally, the aircraft component arranged in its second operating position is adjusted with reference to the projection of the data characteristic of the shape and/or the dimensions of the mounting area.
