Abstract: The catheter device comprises a drive shaft connected to a motor, and a rotor mounted on the drive shaft at the distal end section. The rotor has a frame structure which is formed by a screw-like boundary frame and rotor struts extending radially inwards from the boundary frame. The rotor struts are fastened to the drive shaft by their ends opposite the boundary frame. Between the boundary frame and the drive shaft extends an elastic covering. The frame structure is made of an elastic material such that, after forced compression, the rotor unfolds automatically.

Abstract: A peel off assembly for exposing a safety feature comprising an aversive agent for a battery includes a first adhesive layer adhered to a base layer. Optionally, a layer comprising a colorant is disposed over and coupled to the first adhesive layer. A layer comprising a water-soluble material and an aversive agent is disposed over and coupled to the first adhesive layer. A second adhesive layer is disposed over and coupled to the layer comprising a water-soluble material. A kill strip layer is disposed between the second adhesive layer and the base layer. Optionally, a label is disposed over and coupled to the second adhesive layer. The second adhesive layer is adapted and arranged to release from the layer comprising the water-soluble material, when a peel force is applied such that the second adhesive layer and the kill strip layer are removable from the layer comprising a water-soluble material when the peel force is applied to the second adhesive layer.

Abstract: A motor vehicle transmission with at least one sensor (15), associated with the motor vehicle transmission, for picking up measurement signals at the motor vehicle transmission and transmitting them by a wireless unit to a transmission control unit (12) of the motor vehicle transmission. In each case, an RFID-responder (16) is associated with each sensor (15), which transmits the respective measurement signals concerned to an RFID-reader (17), associated with the transmission control unit (12). The RFID-reader (17) transmits wirelessly to the RFID-responder (16), associated with the sensor (15) concerned, electrical energy for operating the sensor (15) and for operating the RFID-responder (16) associated with the sensor (15).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a device for machine diagnosis and, in particular, for transmission diagnosis in a machine or motor vehicle. The measurement system, according to the invention, comprises a coil (2) wound on a coil core (11), on the surface of which ferritic wear particles (3) to be detected accumulate. Opposite the coil (2) a rotating toothed wheel (6) is arranged which influences the inductance of the coil (2). The output signal of the coil (2) is pulsed with a constant amplitude, the pulse frequency depends on the rotation speed of the toothed wheel (6). Deviations of the amplitude are attributable to the accumulation of ferritic wear particles (3) on the coil (2) and therefore provide a measurement of the condition of the machine or transmission.

Abstract: A method for machine diagnosis and, in particular, for transmission diagnosis of a machine or motor vehicle. The measurement system comprises a capturing magnet (2), on the surface of which the ferritic wear particles (3) to be detected accumulate. A binary measurement signal is produced by a reed contact (1) arranged opposite the capturing magnet (2). This measurement gives an indication of the condition of the machine or transmission.

Abstract: The invention relates to a concrete distributing boom for mobile and stationary concrete pumps. The inventive boom is provided with a substructure (14, 14′, 14″), a pillow block (32) that can be rotated around a vertical axis on the substructure and a stack of arms (16) consisting of several mast arms (34, 34′, 34″) that can be pivoted against each other. The first mast arm (34) is articulated to a hinge (36) of the pillow block (32). Moreover, a drive mechanism (38) is provided that is provided with a driving pinion (42) for rotatably driving the pillow block (32). Said pinion (42) can preferably be rotated around a vertical axis by means of toothed racks (40). The aim of the invention is to enable to easily change masts between different substructures (14, 14′, 14″). The pillow block (32) that is connected to the stack of arms (16) can be detachably coupled to the driving pinion (42) which is arranged in the substructure.
