Abstract: A charging device for an electric vehicle is equipped with a housing, power electronics arranged in the housing, a charging cable which is connected to the power electronics, leads out of the housing and has a charging plug on a distal end, and a charging plug holder arranged on the housing. The charging plug has a grip and a contact portion. The charging plug holder is configured to hold the charging plug. Accordingly, the charging plug holder has a first depression, which is dimensioned and shaped to accommodate the contact portion of the charging plug in an insertion direction and to hold the charging plug when the charging device is in a standby state.

Abstract: The sealing roll includes a stationary internal shaft and an inductively heatable roll jacket supported with freedom to rotate around the shaft. A plurality of induction coils is wound around the shaft over ferrites, which are open to the outside. Cables for the induction coils are laid through a cable conduit in the shaft for connection to an external induction generator. A water cooling channel for indirectly cooling the induction coils is also arranged in the shaft. A cavity is formed in at least an axial subsection of the sealing roll between the roll jacket and the shaft, and at least part of a temperature detection device is arranged in the cavity or adjacent to the cavity so that an IR temperature sensor receives radiation emitted by the roll jacket and thus detects a temperature of the roll jacket.

Abstract: The device for sealing together a formed bottom sheet and a lidding sheet between a feed roll and a sealing roll has a heating unit for preheating the lidding sheet before the sealing operation. The heating unit is a contactless induction heating device which has coils and magnetic-field influencing elements which are arranged transversely to the travel direction of the lidding sheet and opposite at least one of the coils. The distance between each of the magnetic-field influencing elements and the at least one coil is adjusted by a control unit on the basis of measurement values of temperature sensors arranged downstream of the magnetic-field influencing elements in order to regulate the temperature profile of the lidding sheet.

Abstract: The device for the quantitatively regulated delivery of bulk product includes a supply tank for the bulk product and a slider element, which forms the boundary of an outlet gap on one side. The slider element comprises on its front end an elastic, U-shaped loop, the upper part of which is fixed in position, whereas a rear portion of the lower part of the loop is connected to a linear drive. The linear drive can be used both to adjust the width of the outlet gap by translational movement of the lower section of the loop and to produce a small-amplitude back-and-forth movement of the lower section of the loop. In this way, it is possible to release bulk product of various shapes and sizes reliably and without damage in a quantitatively regulated manner.

Abstract: A method for discovering billable health plan enrollment for a patient includes receiving patient information for one or more patients from a medical service provider. The patient information is analyzed, and a sample of patients and a sample of health care plans are selected based on the analysis. An enrollment eligibility inquiry is sent to each of the health care plans for each of the patients. Each of the health care plans returns an eligibility response that indicates whether any of the patients are enrolled in any of the health care plans for each inquiry. These results are provided to the medical care provider. In addition, these results, along with any feedback from the medical service provider regarding any claims submitted to the health care plans for the enrolled patients, and used to refine the analysis of the patient information for subsequent health care enrollment searches.

Abstract: A hydraulic system having a source of pressurized fluid and a fluid actuator with a first chamber and a second chamber. The hydraulic system also has a first valve configured to selectively fluidly communicate the source with the first chamber and a second valve configured to selectively fluidly communicate the source with the second chamber. The hydraulic system also has a supply passageway and a signal passageway each disposed between the first and second valves in parallel. The hydraulic system also has a proportional pressure compensating valve configured to control a pressure of a fluid directed between the source and the first and second valves. The hydraulic system further has a fluid passageway disposed between the supply and signal passageways to fluidly communicate the supply and signal passageways.

Abstract: A valve stem seal having an annular valve body with an upper surface, a lower surface, and defining an aperture is disclosed. The valve body is positioned for selective sealing engagement with a valve stem. At least one orifice is disposed on an inner surface of the annular valve body between the annular valve body and the valve stem. The orifice controls the rate of oil flow between the annular valve body and the valve stem.

Abstract: A software product tests and monitors an Internet server system. Advantageously, the software product communicates with a web browser without the need for other client software to configure transactions. The user of the web browser is guided through web pages to record, edit, and playback transactions. Recording may occur over a secure connection. The software product performs automated tests using the transactions in addition to measuring both system performance data and business performance data. The software product generates alarms when thresholds are exceeded. The test data, performance data, and alarms are correlated in time and presented graphically to the user.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for accurately determining the quantity of powder flowing in a spraying device includes a power density measuring element for measuring the powder density of the powder/gas mixture flowing in the spraying device and a device for measuring the flow rate of the pure gas prior to its mixing with the powder. Signals representative of the powder density and gas flow rate are generated and transmitted to an electronic evaluation device which calculates from these measurements the absolute flow rate of the powder per unit time.

Abstract: In order to produce a fancy yarn with protuberances along its length in a simple manner, and without adding either a binding yarn or an effect yarn, a multi-filament yarn of continuous filaments is forwarded by a positive drive means and twisted and taken up by a spindle. When engaged with a surface of the drive means the yarn is engaged by an edge which brakes some of the filaments.

Abstract: The invention relates to fancy yarns, and a method of making them, in which at least two yarns, of which one forms a core and one an effect yarn, are fed to a junction point and then fed together through a heat treatment zone and assembled into the fancy yarn in a false twisting step, the core yarn having been provided with a thermoplastic binder upstream of the junction point by which the effect yarn is adhered to the core yarn.
