  • Publication number: 20240165844
    Abstract: The invention relates to a food-processing device for cutting food products (2) into slices (6), the slices (6) preferably together forming a portion, in particular for cutting pieces of meat or pieces of cheese. The food-processing device according to the invention comprises a cutting device (1) for cutting the slices (6) from the food products (2), and a conveyor (AS, 12-18) for receiving the cut slices (6) after a cutting operation, wherein the conveyor (AS, 12-18) is preferably arranged in the line of fall of the slices (6), so that the cut slices (6) fall from the cutting device (1) onto the conveyor (AS, 12-18). The invention provides that the conveyor (AS, 12-18) is a discontinuous conveyor, which conveys the deposited slices (6) discontinuously, in contrast to a conveyor belt. Furthermore, the invention comprises a corresponding operating method.

  • Publication number: 20240158179
    Abstract: The invention relates to a belt conveyor (1) for conveying products to be conveyed (e.g. food products), with a deflection (8), in particular as a rotatable deflection pulley (8), and a conveyor belt (2) which is guided around the deflection (8). The invention provides that the deflection (8) comprises a central circumferential annular groove (11), and the conveyor belt (2) comprises a centre bar (12) on the inside which engages in the annular groove (11) of the deflection (8).

  • Publication number: 20240066740
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveying device for conveying food products in a food processing installation, having at least one movable conveyed-product carrier (12, 13; 30, 31) for receiving the food products to be conveyed, and a drive system (15-18) for conveying the conveyed-product carrier (12, 13; 30, 31) discontinuously along a conveying path (27). The invention additionally provides a cleaning device (32) for cleaning the conveyed-products carrier (12, 13; 30, 31) and/or the conveying path (27).

  • Patent number: 11529110
    Abstract: A method for operating a medical imaging apparatus includes acquiring a first image data set of a region of interest of the patient; automatically evaluating the first image data set using at least one evaluation algorithm yielding evaluation information, regarding at least one type of findings, describing a presence of at least one finding of the type requiring the acquisition of a second image data set and at least one imaging parameter for the second image data set; automatically notifying a user, upon the evaluation information indicating the presence of a required second image data set, of the required acquisition of the second image data set; and acquiring the second image data set acquiring the second image data set after confirmation of acquisition of the second image data set by the user, in a same examination process, using the at least one imaging parameter of the evaluation information.

  • Patent number: 11293108
    Abstract: A cell includes a transparent covering element arranged at a top side of the cell, an interior arranged below the covering element, the interior being partly filled with an electrolyte, and a semiconductor absorber arranged in or at the electrolyte. Furthermore, the cell includes one or more counterelectrodes arranged above the semiconductor absorber in the electrolyte and electrically connected to a back electrode arranged at a rear side of the semiconductor absorber facing away from the covering element, and one or more membrane enclosures, wherein a counterelectrode in each case extends within a membrane enclosure. One or more channel spaces are formed between an electrolyte surface and an underside of the covering element, the one or more channel spaces extending along one or more partial regions of the underside of the covering element and being usable for guiding away a first gas formed in the interior of the cell.

  • Publication number: 20040260129
    Abstract: A polyunsaturated hydrocarbon, 6-(2,7-octadienyl)-1,4-cyclooctadiene. 6-(2,7-Octadienyl)- 1,4-cyclooctadiene is prepared by reacting butadiene-1,3 in the presence of a catalyst system consisting of a nickel complex, an organic phosphite and dialkylaluminum alkoxide, removing unreacted butadiene-1,3 starting material and cyclooctadiene and cyclododecatriene material formed in the reaction from the reaction product obtained, and fractionally distilling 6-(2,7-octadienyl)-1,4-cyclooctadiene from the material obtained after the distillative separation of butadiene-1,3, cyclooctatriene and C12 compounds.
