Abstract: An individual cell control of an energy storage arrangement (1) is to be achieved with reduced effort. Thereto, a control device for controlling an energy storage arrangement (1) is proposed, which comprises a plurality of individual cells (2, 2?). In addition, the control device comprises a switching device with individual switching elements (4, 4?) for one or more of the individual cells. The individual switching elements (4, 4?) of the switching device are organized in rows and columns in matrix-like manner. Each of the rows and columns of the switching device is activatable separately from each other such that each of the individual switching elements (4, 4?) can be individually switched on and switched off. A matrix control unit (5) is provided for individually generating a respective activation signal for each individual switching element (4, 4?) of the switching device.

Abstract: A process for adjusting filling level in a gasifier for carbonaceous material in the form of a floating bed reactor in which biomass and/or coke (K) is transformed into a product gas includes providing a substantially conical, downwardly tapering floating bed reactor comprising an upper reactor ceiling a lower inlet opening into which biomass and/or coke (K) are introduced into the floating bed reactor from below and a gaseous gasification agent (V) is introduced upwardly, so that a fixed bed, which is elevated from the location of the inlet opening and held in suspension, forms within the conical reactor, wherein the flow rate of the gaseous gasification agent (V) together with the biomass and/or the coke (K) is adapted in such a way that a stable bed forms in the reactor.

Abstract: A buffer supports an elevator car and/or a counterweight for the elevator car, wherein the elevator car and the counterweight are each movable along a respective path in an elevator shaft. The buffer partly projects into the path of the elevator car and the path of the counterweight to produce a mechanical contact with the elevator car when the elevator car moves below a first spacing with respect to a floor of the shaft. The buffer additionally produces a mechanical contact with the counterweight when the counterweight falls below a second spacing with respect to the floor.

Abstract: A buffer creates at least one zone of protection in an elevator installation including an elevator car and a counterweight movable along respective paths in an elevator shaft. The buffer has a movable portion movable into the path of the elevator car and/or into the path of the counterweight in such a manner that the elevator car or the counterweight can be brought into mechanical contact with the movable portion and each of the elevator car and the counterweight is supported at a predetermined height above a floor of the elevator shaft so that a zone of protection is available below or above the elevator car.
