Abstract: An insertion mechanism for a cannula includes a cannula housing, a displaceable cannula, at least one cannula holder, an insertion spring, a triggering element, and a safety device. The safety device, in a secured state, holds the triggering element in a blocked position against a force of the insertion spring and, in a released state, releases the triggering element such that the triggering element is movable into a release position by the force of said insertion energy store and the at least one cannula holder is able to move relative to the cannula housing, driven by the insertion energy store, so as to trigger or implement an insertion movement or insertion. To reach the released state, the safety mechanism is heatable by a heating element and softened and/or weakened with respect to its mechanical carrying or holding capacity, or severed or at least partially or completely melted.

Abstract: A rotary slide moves blanks cyclically from stage to stage of a cutting and processing tool. Work pieces are transferred in and out of the tool, without moving the slide in and out of the tool. The slide has a plurality of transfer openings and a discharge opening. Individual processing stages, including a discharge stage, are designed as separate components that support one another. The stages are arranged about a rotating axis of the slide. The transfer openings and the discharge opening lie in a circular path that coincides with circular paths of active elements of the cutting stage, the processing stages and the discharge stage. The openings have a distance from one another that is identical to the distance of the active elements in the circular paths.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing clutch bodies, which are suitable for synchronizer systems and provided with teeth or tooth sections, from a blank uses and includes at least one embossing stage, composed of embossing segments and an anvil, for embossing roofs and troughs between root and tip circles into an upper face of the blank, and transfer means for transporting the blanks, First embossing segments form a first section and second embossing segments form a second section for sequential embossing within the at least one embossing stage, wherein the first embossing segments first emboss a first section, then return in relation to the second embossing segments, and thereafter the second embossing segments emboss the second section, wherein the second embossing segments are disposed next to each other in an annular arrangement, and the second embossing segments are designed to be axially movable relative to the first embossing segments of the first section.

Abstract: The heating plate (1) has cavities (2), in which electrically heatable heating bodies (3) are disposed. A heat exchange medium circulated by a pump (4) transmits the heat emitted by the heating bodies (3). The heating plate is designed to obtain a uniform temperature distribution using as low a volume of heat exchange medium as possible. To this end, the cavities (2) are elongate and the heating bodies (3) are bar-shaped.

Abstract: The roof or facade cladding comprises panel-shaped construction elements (1) arranged in a scale-type pattern, and each construction element (1) comprises at least a panel part (2), a frame and at least one retaining element (6). Each construction element (1) is secured by the at least one retaining element (6) on an essentially horizontally disposed support element (27). Each retaining element (6) is disposed on the respective construction element (1) adjacent to a bottom, essentially horizontally oriented edge (5) of the construction element (1) and the point (20) of the retaining element (6) contacting the support element (27) lies closer to this bottom edge (5) than the top edge (11) of the construction element (1). Each construction element is protected from mechanical damage all the way round at the edges the frame.

Abstract: A current sensor for measuring a time-varying electrical current (Im) in a portion of primary conductor (1), the sensor including a sensor conductor comprising first and second ends (3,4) for connection to a signal processing circuit, a first conductor portion extending from the first end and having a plurality of windings (5) to form a first coil portion, and a second conductor portion returning to the second end. Centres of the windings define a median coil place substantially parallel to the magnetic field (Hm) generated by the time-varying current (Im) to be measured, the sensor conductor defining one or a plurality of interference field surfaces as seen projected on a plane parallel to the median plane enclosed by clockwise or anti-clockwise interference field current circulating portions (22,23) of the sensor conductor.

Abstract: The current to be measured (I) passes in a conductor (1) enclosed with a Rogowski coil (4) and in the proximity thereof are arranged several magnetic field detectors (3). The sum of the signals from these detectors, formed in the device (2), and the signal supplied by the Rogowski coil are applied to a signal processor (7). The processor (7) comprises, for example, a first order delay device connected to the Rogowski coil output and means for amplifying/reducing the signals followed by adding means, the delay time constant and the amplifying/reducing factors being selected so that the device output (8) signal is proportional to the intensity of the current to be measured in a very wide frequency range, i.e. from 0 to more than 10 MHz.
