Patent number: 6113354Abstract: In a fuel delivery device for a motor vehicle a delivery pump (15) is provided in addition to a fuel pump (14). The delivery pump (15) serves to fill a surge baffle (5) and to drive a sucking jet pump (6). The fuel pump (14) draws in fuel from the surge baffle (5) and delivers it to an internal combustion engine (2). For this purpose, the fuel pump (14) is arranged in a feed line (3) in the vicinity of the internal combustion engine (2). A return line (4) leads from the internal combustion engine into the surge baffle (5).Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1998Date of Patent: September 5, 2000Assignee: Mannesmann VDO AGInventors: Klaus-Dieter Meese, Joachim Gunther

Patent number: 5681474Abstract: This invention relates to a low-pressure chromatography column 1 having a diameter of more than 30 cm, and essentially consisting of a vertical cylinder 13 having a base plate 12, a lower sintered disk 3 arranged above the base plate 12, an upper sintered disk 16 fastened to the underside of a lid designed as a mobile plunger 4, and having at least three controllable elements 5 for raising or lowering the plunger 4, which are connected to the plunger 4, equipped with sensors 6 electrically connected to a control unit 10 for determining the vertical position and horizontal placement of the plunger 4. With the aid of an optical observation device (e.g., endoscope), the plunger/gel material can be adjusted exactly over the entire positioning range of the plunger. The advantages of the invention include simple and rapid production of the packing and purer products than could be obtained without such packing.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1995Date of Patent: October 28, 1997Assignee: Hoechst AktiengesellschaftInventors: Joachim Gunther, Bernhard Krause, Gernot Mader, Wolfgang Sittig, Klaus Itter, Klaus-Jurgen Simon

Patent number: 4072820Abstract: Apparatus for coding input data characters from a keyboard incorporates apparatus for recognizing characters which are to be represented by two successive code representations, rather than the usual single code representation for each character. When a two-code character is recognized, ordinary operation of the apparatus is inhibited, and an auxiliary counter is energized which, in conjunction with a fixed-value storage device, causes the plural code signals to be generated in the correct sequence, after which normal operation of the apparatus is resumed.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1976Date of Patent: February 7, 1978Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Gerd-Joachim Gunther
