Abstract: The invention relates to an device for connecting lines, especially to a quick connector, comprising at least one connector adapted to be joined with a line end by means of friction welding. A controlled release of excess melt is achieved by that the connecting device is provided with means for withdrawing the melt producible by the friction welding from the its area of the origin.

Abstract: A ladder clip is taught that allows for the secure support of paint cans, brushes, and other tools from a ladder. The device consists of a platform, having vanes that secure the platform in place in the hollows of ladder rungs. Tools are hung from the platform extension that extends beyond the opening of the rungs. To remove the ladder clip, one simply pulls on the tab that extends from the vanes to the extension, and the vanes fold down, allowing for easy removal.

The conduit arrangement comprises a first fluid conduit and a second fluid conduit which can be connected to a housing, such as a gearbox housing, by a connecting arrangement. The connecting arrangement has a first connecting part and a second connecting part which have a respective through-passage. At least one of the connecting parts is made of plastic, wherein at least one of the fluid conduits is made of plastic. The plastic connecting part and the plastic fluid conduit are integrally connected to one another.

Abstract: A chamber device for analyzing living cell(s). The chamber device includes a base and a lid that when reversibly pressed closed create a chamber. The base is configured with an optically transparent well to contain at least one cell. The lid has a breadth greater than the base and is configured to contain at least one sensor. The lid is further configured with a lip that when pressed between the lid and the base creates an impermeable seal. The base and the lid are configured so that, when closed and in use, the sensor remains spatially apart from the at least one cell.
