Abstract: The present invention relates to a pyroelectric infrared detector device comprising: an arrangement of a plurality of pyroelectric elements electrically coupled in series each with a same polarization direction; and a pre-amplification circuit for operating the arrangement of the plurality of pyroelectric clements to generate an output voltage.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique for generating a data set that geometrically defines a bone plate design is presented. A method implementation of this technique comprises visualizing, based on shape data of a bone, a bone model on a display device, deriving, responsive to a user interaction signal that is indicative of a user interaction relative to the bone model, plate design data representative of a plate-specific design property, and generating a data set that geometrically defines a bone plate design from at least the plate design data and one or more generic plate parameters.

Abstract: A device for clamping a hose line for determining the concentration of a constituent of blood in a hose line, in particular in the hose line of an extracorporeal blood circuit of an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, includes a clamping unit with two receiving elements and an electric motor-driven actuation mechanism. Actuation mechanism is constituted such that, when a clamping force is applied, the first and second receiving element can be moved from a position releasing the hose line into a position clamping the hose line. Moreover, the device comprises an unlocking mechanism which is constituted such that, by actuating an unlocking element, the actuation mechanism in the position clamping the hose line can be decoupled from electromotive drive. Unlocking mechanism makes it possible for the receiving elements to be transferred easily and rapidly by hand from the position clamping the hose line into the position releasing the hose line.

Abstract: For an optical fiber cable with a cable core, which contains at least one optical transmission element, and with a cable jacket surrounding the cable core, a plastic film is applied over the cable core before extrusion of the cable jacket. The plastic film contains a material, which is also contained in the cable jacket. The cable jacket is extruded over the cable core and brought into contact with the plastic film in such a way, that it glues to the cable jacket during extrusion. In this way a cable construction for an optical fiber cable is created, which enables a comparatively small diameter of the cable and a comparatively cost-effective manufacture.

Abstract: An operating panel for an air-conditioning system equipped with a heating device and a cooling unit comprises a plurality of actuating elements for setting the rotational speed of a blower, the incoming-air temperature, the air distribution, and the fresh-air/circulating-air damper. A switch arranged in the operating panel serves to switch the cooling unit on and off. A maximum cooling switch sets the air temperature to maximum cooling in the vehicle passenger compartment by coupling the maximum cooling switch to the fresh-air/circulating-air damper, on a blower step switch, which controls the blower motor, and the cooling unit switch. Thus, a single switch conveniently and automatically sets to the maximum cooling setting.
