  • Patent number: 9993371
    Abstract: The device (10) has a handle (16) fixed to an end of a shaft (14). The handle is provided for the insertion of a detachable collection container (12) into a vagina, for rotation of the collection container about its longitudinal axis within the vagina or for the removal of the collection container from the vagina. The handle is provided with a hole (24), which is connected with the hollow interior of the shaft or a ventilation tube to ensure the supply of air to prevent pressure differences during removal of the collection container from the vagina. An independent claim is included for a method for absorption and controlled discharge of liquid excretion from a vagina.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8418680
    Abstract: In a gas guide system, a combustion engine and a method for operating the engine comprising a gas supply arrangement for supplying gas to the engine, a gas discharge system including an exhaust gas treatment unit for releasing gas from the engine, the gas guide system including a first partial gas discharge line for discharging a first partial gas stream from a first fired cylinder group via the exhaust gas treatment unit and a second gas discharge line for discharging a second partial gas stream from a second unfired cylinder group separately from the hot gas stream directed through the exhaust gas treatment unit to keep it at operating temperatures.

  • Patent number: 7941999
    Abstract: In an internal combustion engine with at least one turbocharger supplying compressed air to the engine cylinders which are divided into a first group and a second group, a first exhaust gas line connecting a first section of an exhaust gas collection line to the turbine, a recirculation line for returning exhaust gas from a second section of the exhaust gas collection line to the charge air supply line, a first control device controls the exhaust gas flow from a section of the cylinders to the first section of the exhaust gas collection line, a second control device controls the exhaust gas flow to the turbine and a third control device controls the exhaust gas flow recirculated to the charge air supply line for the cylinder.
