Abstract: The invention relates to an operating panel arrangement, in particular for domestic appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers. An operating panel has formed on its outside actuating sections and display sections for operating or monitoring purposes. An electrical circuit arrangement is coupled to the actuating sections and the display sections and is arranged in the region of the inside of the operating panel. In this case, the circuit arrangement has at least three electrodes, which are arranged in a manner distributed approximately parallel to the operating panel. The circuit arrangement has evaluation means which are designed to calculate the spatial position of an operating means in relation to the position of the three electrodes, to be precise by evaluating the fields between the electrodes and the operator. The actuating sections can be freely defined as positions of the operating means in the region of the outside of the operating panel.

Abstract: A method of replacing an individual damaged compressor stator airfoil includes machining an oversized slot through the stator casing, removing the damaged airfoil, and joining a sleeve to the replacement airfoil and stator casing. The oversized slot creates sufficient clearance for removal of a three-dimensional airfoil, while the sleeve creates a sufficiently tight fit to allow the pieces to be brazed together.

Abstract: An alarm system includes at least one wireless alarm transmitter, at least one wireless activate transmitter, and at least one wireless signal receiver. The signal receiver becomes sensitized to recognize an alarm code from the alarm transmitter after recognizing an activate code from the activate transmitter. The signal receiver can include an alarm generator that provides a first alarm after recognizing the alarm code. An alarm device can include a wireless hazard signal receiver that becomes sensitized to recognize a wireless transmitted hazard alarm code only after recognizing a wireless transmitted activate code. An alarm generator can provide a hazard alarm after recognizing the alarm code. The device can further include an alarm code and activate code decryption device. Instead of or in addition to the activate transmitter and sensitizing feature, the system can be equipped to display a location name in the alarm generator as a text alarm.

Abstract: A gas analyzer has a measuring chamber, a gas inlet channel, a gas outlet channel, a pump for providing a gas flow through the chamber, a device for irradiating the gas in the chamber with pulsating electromagnetic energy to generate acoustic pressure fluctuations therein, and at least one microphone communicating with the chamber for detecting the fluctuations. The inlet channel and the outlet channel each has an acoustic filter formed by channels with reduced sectional area of flow and a plurality of cavities associated therewith. The gas analyzer has at least one sandwich device formed of joined plate-like elements. The channel sections of the inlet and/or outlet channel are defined by at least two elements and the vibration-reducing cavities are also defined by at least two elements. The connections between the respective channels and cavities are formed as transverse apertures in the elements or element portions adjoining the channel and the cavities, respectively.

Abstract: The invention concerns the recording of a relationship between users of a network, such as the relationship between a client and a supplier, for invoicing the client and paying the supplier. There is provided a list of acts of each user, which each user may access through the network. According to the accesses of the users to the list, the list is updated. No user is allowed to alter acts previously recorded on the list. Thus, the list at any given time provides an overview of the history of the relationship between the users.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a binding element (1) for binding a stack of documents (3) comprised of loose sheets (2), having a spine piece (4) and two side pieces (5, 6), said side pieces (5, 6) being arranged essentially perpendicular to the spine piece (4).

Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for a vehicle includes a throttle body having an air flow passage extending therethrough with a throttle plate mounted in the passage. At least one fuel injector is mounted below the throttle plate and above the intake manifold of the engine for cyclically injecting fuel into the air flow passage extending between the throttle body and the inlet of the intake manifold. A full time, closed loop feedback control system monitors exhaust gas content and adjusts the fuel flow based on the measured air/fuel ratio. A tank storing gaseous fuel at a high pressure is connected to the fuel injector via fluid flow conduits. An annular recess is formed on at least one location on the side wall of the tank. Annular shoulders are disposed on opposite sides of the recess and extend outward above the side wall of the tank. A mounting bracket is mounted in the recess surrounding the tank and is attachable to the vehicle to mount the tank to the vehicle.
