Abstract: An adjustable hydrocephalus valve comprising a mechanical brake. The brake can be decoupled by pressing the valve housing percutaneously and allows in this state to adjust the opening characteristics of the valve by rotating externally disposed magnets. In order to detect the adjusted pressure or in order to adjust the pressure, specific adjustment or measuring pin principles are presented which simplify and at the same time improve the respective functions of measuring and adjusting.

Abstract: A transfer station in a container filling plant comprising an input, an output, a conveyor for feeding containers, a plurality of spaced apart webs disposed upstream of the input of the transfer station, and vertically oriented rotatable directing elements, each rotatable about its vertical rotational axis and disposed upstream of the webs for contacting the bodies of the containers to steer the containers into the receiving spaces between the webs.

Abstract: This invention relates to a boring tool having a cutting insert. The insert has a chip breaker with a base that extends from the secondary cutting edge to the primary cutting edge. The primary cutting edge, which is also referred to below as the major cutting edge, thereby runs diagonally with respect to the insert surface or top face of the indexable insert toward the chip breaker base of the chip breaker. The secondary cutting edge, which is also referred to as the minor cutting edge below and is advantageously straight, descends toward the major cutting edge, as a result of which a wiper geometry is realized on the minor cutting edge. Therefore the major cutting edge and the minor cutting edge preferably form a closed triangle with the chip breaker base.

Abstract: Disclosed is a drilling tool comprising a first drill bit (2) that is provided with at least two forward cutting edges (4, 5) and a second drill bit (3) which encompasses at least two rear cutting edges (6, 7). A cutting groove (8, 9) runs continuously from one respective forward cutting edge (4, 5) to a rear cutting edge (6, 7). Said cutting groove (8, 9) is embodied in an asymmetric manner in an area (A) bordering the forward drill bit (2), in a symmetric manner in a central area (B), and asymmetric in an area (C) bordering the rear drill bit (3).

Abstract: A treatment device handles and treats bottle or container caps, which treatment device may be used in a capping machine in a beverage bottle or container filling plant. The treatment device transports the caps on carrier rings and transfer chutes inside a housing, which has a flow of treatment gas traveling therethrough to treat the caps.

Abstract: A rotary cutting tool that is composed of a tool shank with at least one chucking groove or chip flute and one exchangeable cutting insert. At the tip of the shank a recess for accommodating the cutting insert is provided.
