  • Patent number: 10267304
    Abstract: A hose system has a pump hose with a hose portion insertable into a pump head of a hose pump. The hose portion has at least a first stop element fixing the hose portion in the feed direction. The first stop element can subsequently be connected immovably to the pump hose at a predefinable position of the pump hose. Thus, the pump hose can be used more universally and can be adapted to different pump heads.

  • Patent number: 10057699
    Abstract: An audio identification device is provided. The audio identification device comprises: at least one sensing device configured to capture an audio signal present in a working space of a processing setup including at least one processing device; and a processor configured to: receive information related to the at least one processing device; retrieve audio data stored in a database using the received information related to the at least one processing device; identify a state of the at least one processing device by analyzing the audio signal captured by the at least one sensing device based on the retrieved audio data; and output a response, the response being determined based on the identified state of the at least one processing device.

  • Patent number: 8550466
    Abstract: A bullet trap apparatus is provided for capturing an associated bullet traveling along a substantially linear trajectory. The bullet trap apparatus includes a support frame and a flowable material disposed on an upper surface of the support frame. The support frame has an upper surface configured to support associated material. The flowable material is disposed on the upper surface of the support frame substantially on the linear trajectory, and includes a plurality of sheets of substantially rectangular material. Each of the sheets are configured for deflecting the associated bullet from its substantially linear path and absorbing energy from the associated bullet by the deflecting, thereby slowing the traveling of the associated bullet through the flowable material. The flowable material includes a plurality of sheets of substantially rectangular material, each of the sheets including a rubber material and one or more sheets of a fabric material formed of woven strands coupled with the rubber material.

  • Publication number: 20090301962
    Abstract: A housing (1) for the filtration of liquid media, comprising at least one filter candle (2), which has a fluid-tight transition region (10) of a lower annular end cap (6, 6?) with central outlet (7) to a fluid-permeable outer casing (9) and has a tubular adapter (8, 8?) connected to the end cap (6, 6?), and further comprising a housing top part (3) and a housing bottom part (4) having a housing bottom (5), which latter exhibits at least one cylindrical opening (11) for the reception of the adapter (8, 8?) and separates a non-filtrate chamber (14) surrounding the outer casing (9) of the filter candle (2) from a filtrate chamber (16) connected to the central outlet (7), at least a first seal (18) being provided between the cylindrical opening (11) and the filter candle (2), which seal forms a barrier to the filtrate chamber (16), characterized in that the fluid-tight transition region (10) is received in an end cap receiving region (12) of the cylindrical opening (11) and at least terminates with the base surfa

  • Patent number: 6523677
    Abstract: A dual helical conveyor system, is disclosed having a conveyor belt adapted to move in a first direction along a first helical path and thereafter in a second direction generally opposite the first direction along a second helical path generally concentric with said first helical path. The conveyor belt is further movable through a cross-over section along a cross-over path which connects the first and second helical paths, and a conveyor belt drive mechanism is provided in the cross-over section to frictionally drive the conveyor belt along the cross-over path and between the first and second helical paths. The conveyor belt is driven by friction/slip drive mechanism along the first and second helical paths. The conveyor in the first and second paths may be a single continuous belt or it may be alternatively be comprised of two separate and independent belts.
