Abstract: An ultrasonic atomizer is provided with an ultrasonic converter (2) with frequency-dependent impedance characteristic. A driver system is provided (1) for generating driver signals for the ultrasound converter (2) such that while the device can be handled in a simple manner, the liquid to be applied is atomized optimally. The driver system (1) is connected such that a frequency set value with minimal driver current is sought immediately after the ultrasonic atomizer is put into operation by varying the frequency of the current signal.

Abstract: A process for folding or folding over pockets with round edge sections is provided along with a device for carrying out the process. Round folding slides (9; 53), provided with concave folding edges (49; 54), are either moved or designed such that their ends (50, 51; 55), either one after another or simultaneously, lead in relation to the middle area of the concave folding edges (49; 54). An especially intense folding effect is thus exerted on the transition areas between the round and straight pocket edge sections and a pocked folded edge that is uniform on all sides is thus obtained.

Abstract: A sheet element is provided for the formation of bags for packing food products and not under vacuum. The layer or film (12) intended to form the inner surface of at least one side of the bag has seams (13, 23) which are facing not in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bag and each having a plurality of transverse cavities or notches (16) and at least one longitudinal groove to promote the evacuation of air.

Abstract: A motor vehicle brake system actuator has a pedal block with a brake pedal fixed thereon pivotably. A brake power booster with a two-part housing and with a main brake cylinder assembly unit is connected to the brake pedal for the admission of hydraulic power into the individual wheel brakes of the motor vehicle. The pedal block and the brake power booster housing bottom part facing the pedal block are made in one piece from plastic.

Abstract: An interchangeable coupling is provided for removably fastening tools (2) to manipulators (3). The interchangeable coupling has two coupling parts (5, 6) with a form fit lock (7). The lock has several mobile balls (8) and a piston (11) for moving the balls. The coupling parts (5, 6) have corresponding cavities (9, 10). The cavities (9) in the tool side coupling part (5) are essentially cylindrical ball channels (30) with an oblique channel axis (31). In a locked position, these cavities (9) accommodate the blocking balls (8). The channel axis (31) preferably slopes from the robot-sided cavity (10) towards the tool side (2).
