Abstract: The metering apparatus for the volumetric metering of pourable filler includes a housing and a metering slider which is movable relative to the housing. The housing and the slider conjointly define a metering chamber. The slider is configured as a vertical slider with a stroke axis. The housing includes a guide surface for the slider which extends in the direction of the stroke axis. The slider has a boundary surface corresponding to the guide surface and abuts in a sliding manner against the guide surface. A metering recess is introduced into the slider proceeding from the boundary surface and/or into the housing proceeding from the guide surface. With the slider in a stroke position wherein the metering recess is covered by the guide surface and/or by the boundary surface, the metering chamber is formed by the metering recess, the guide surface and/or the boundary surface.

Abstract: A device for measuring deformations of a rotor blade of a wind turbine generator system includes a position-measuring device having a first assembly and a second assembly. The first assembly is disposed so as to be movable relative to the second assembly. The position-measuring device is configured to measure a relative position between the first and second assemblies. An arm mechanically coupled to the first assembly has a first adhesive bonding surface configured to allow the arm to be permanently joined to the rotor blade. The second assembly has a second adhesive bonding surface configured to allow the second assembly to be permanently joined to the rotor blade. A first mounting element is fixed to at the second assembly and/or the arm. A second mounting element is adhesively attachable to the rotor blade. The first mounting element is detachably joinable to the second mounting element.

Abstract: The invention concerns a lift having a drive unit. The invention further concerns a wind power installation having a lift. To reduce the costs of the lift and thus make the lift economically more attractive the lift of the kind set forth in this specification is characterized by a cupboard used as the lift car. In that respect the invention is based on the realization that a cupboard in its basic structure with bottom, side walls and a door does not differ from a lift car produced specifically for a lift. Naturally there are differences, for example in suspension and operation of the door, but those differences can be removed insofar as they are an obstacle to use of a cupboard as a lift car so that the complication and expenditure overall is always still less than the complication and expenditure for a lift car constructed specifically for the lift.

Abstract: A device for measuring deformations of a rotor blade of a wind turbine generator system includes an angle measuring device and an arm. The angle measuring device includes a first and a second assembly. The first assembly is pivotable relative to the second assembly about an axis.

Abstract: Diving equipment includes a compressed air bottle connected to a breathing apparatus and an inflatable jacket via which buoyancy is balanced by the jacket being connected to the compressed air bottle to be inflated or to an outlet to be deflated. A monitoring device is activated via a control valve as a function of surrounding water pressure and has a time monitoring unit which, after the expiry of a defined time and in the absence of breathing activity in the breathing apparatus, changes to emergency operation and activates an emergency valve via a control line connecting the jacket to the compressed air bottle to force inflation of the jacket. Actuation of at least one regulating valve is influenced during a dive by the monitoring device and/or the control valve. In manual activation, the jacket is inflated via the inflation valve, and the compressed air is bled via the outlet valve.

The shaking element has a bottom edge provided with a shaking projection, wherein the shaking projection, beginning at the bottom edge, extends downwardly. During filling of the target container with the powder, only the shaking projection of the shaking element projects from above into the target container and the shaking element as a whole does not contact the target container.

Abstract: A process for the production of hydrocarbon-containing oils, in which a starting material containing a sugar and/or a sugar derivative is thermally cleaved, including a reaction step in which the starting material is brought into contact with a contact oil which has an initial boiling point of at least about 200° C. at a pressure of about 1013 mbar with formation of a reaction phase at a reaction temperature in the range of from about 200 to about 600° C. and a pressure in the range of from about 0.1 to about 50 bar. The process also includes a processing step in which the reaction phase is separated into a low-boiling fraction and a high-boiling fraction. At least a portion of the high-boiling fraction is recirculated into the reaction step as contact oil. The invention also relates to a system for this process which is equipped with an oilification module.

Abstract: An arrangement for connecting a tubular element to a body extending into the same using a tensioning ring, which, via its inner surface, embraces the outer wall of the tubular element, extends axially along the tubular element, and applies clamping forces thereto such that the tubular element acts via its inner wall on the body situated in the tubular element, clamping the same. The tensioning ring rests against the outer wall of the tubular element with only one axial partial section of its inner surface and exerts a clamping action thereon.
