Abstract: A method for tracking product in an installation in which powdered product is processed into manufactured items is provided. The method comprises introducing the powdered product into the installation through at least one inlet, obtaining measurement data for the powdered product from at least one mass sensor positioned in the at least one inlet, and dividing the measurement data into mass units of equal size. The progression of the mass units is then tracked through the installation using measurement data from at least one other mass sensor in the installation.

Abstract: A system for continuously processing pulverulent products includes at least two system inlets for pulverulent products. A mixer is provided that continuously mixes the pulverulent products received at a mixer inlet into a product mixture that is dispensed at a mixer outlet. A production machine having a filling apparatus continuously processes the product mixture from the mixer outlet into end products dispensed at the machine outlet. A conveyor apparatus conveys the product mixture from the mixer outlet to the machine inlet. The conveyor apparatus includes a first fill level sensor that measures a product mixture fill level in the filling apparatus of the production machine and a second fill level measures a product mixture fill level in a conveyor reservoir. A control apparatus receives measurement data from the first fill level sensor and the second fill level sensor and controls at least one production parameter based on the measurement data.

Abstract: A system for continuous processing of powder products includes a first inlet configured to input a first dry powder product, a second inlet configured to input a second dry powder product, and a dry powder mixing device that mixes the first dry powder product together with the second dry powder product to form a product mixture. An outlet dispenses the product mixture from the dry powder mixing device. A production machine is included and has a powder feed frame comprising a feed frame inlet connected to the outlet of the dry powder mixing device. The outlet of the dry powder mixing device is positioned at a lower level than the feed frame inlet. A product conveying device is connected between the outlet of the dry powder mixing device and the feed frame inlet to continuously convey the product mixture from the dry powder mixing device to the feed frame inlet.

Abstract: A powder blender for a system for continuous processing of powder products comprises a horizontal blending tube extending along an axis from a first end to a second end. The horizontal blending tube comprises at least one inlet configured to receive the powder products to be blended, and at least one outlet configured to discharge the powder products after blending. At least two blending devices are positioned in the blending tube and arranged successively along the axis of the blending tube. At least two actuators, wherein each of the at least two actuators is configured to operate one of the at least two blending devices such that the at least two blending devices are actuated differently from each other.

Abstract: A feeding and blending apparatus for a system for continuous processing of powder products comprises at least two system inlets for powder products; and at least two feeding and dosing devices arranged in a row. Each of the at least two feeding and dosing devices comprises, an inlet being connected with a system inlet, at least one feeder, at least one actuator configured to operate the at least one feeder, and an outlet being connected with an inlet of the powder blending device. A separation wall is configured to separate a process area from a technical. Process components of the at least two feeding and dosing devices are positioned in the process area and technical components of the feeding and dosing devices are positioned in the technical area. Connections between the at least one actuator and the at least one feeder pass through the separation wall.

Abstract: A method for operating a mixing apparatus of a manufacturing plant comprises supplying multiple powdered products to the mixing apparatus. An inlet mass flow rate of the multiple powdered products into the mixing apparatus and a weight of the multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus are measured. The multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus are mixed to form a mixed product. The weight of the multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus and an outlet mass flow rate of the mixed product from the mixing apparatus are predicted based on the measured inlet mass flow of the multiple powdered products. The predicted outlet mass flow rate of the mixed product from the mixing apparatus is corrected based on the measured weight of the multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus.

Abstract: A device for capacitively measuring a powder fill level in a filling apparatus for a rotary press where the fill apparatus comprises a filling pipe. The device comprises a first measuring electrode positioned on the filling pipe and a reference electrode. A first electrical capacitor is configured to be formed by the reference electrode and the first measuring electrode, wherein an electrical field is configured to be formed between the first measuring electrode and the reference electrode. The first measuring electrode is covered by an electrically conductive protective shielding on a side facing away from the filling pipe and the electrically conductive protective shielding is at a ground potential.

Abstract: A method for prediction and/or adaptation of use of a telecommunications terminal includes: detecting, by the telecommunications terminal, use actions by a user carried out via a user interface of the telecommunications terminal and context information of the telecommunications terminal over a predetermined time interval; generating or altering, by the telecommunications terminal, at least one specific rules factor out of a plurality of rules factors based on an occurrence of a first event out of a plurality of events subject to the behavior of the user regarding the use actions carried out via the user interface and/or subject to the context information of the telecommunications terminal; and in case of the occurrence of the first event and/or in case of the occurrence of a second event, applying, by the telecommunications terminal, the at least one generated or altered specific rules factor subject to the context information.

Abstract: According to at least one aspect, a haptic mechanism is provided. The haptic mechanism includes an anchoring element configured to be worn about a portion of a subject, a tensioning cable coupled to the anchoring element, and a retraction mechanism coupled to the tensioning cable. The retraction mechanism includes a brake configured to controllably impede movement of the tensioning cable to impede motion of the anchoring element in at least one direction.
