Abstract: A device for drying and/or styling hair is disclosed. The device uses conduction and convection to heat the user's hair either to dry wet or damp hair or to style the user's hair. The device has a body portion having a fan and a heater for generating a heated air stream. The heated air stream flows into a head portion that has a base portion and a heat exchanger. Heat from the air heats up the heat exchanger which in turn heats up the base portion. During use, the user's hair contacts an outer surface of the base portion and is heated by conduction. Vent holes are also provided in the base portion so that the heated air can also heat the user's hair by convection.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pressure cleaning device comprising a pressure generating unit for pressurizing a fluid and for dispensing a pressurized fluid via a hose attachment, preferably via a hand gun or via a cleaning nozzle. The pressure cleaning device can be operated in at least two different operating modes. According to the disclosure, a preferably electric pressure sensor for determining an actual operating pressure and/or a flow rate sensor for determining an actual flow rate and a control device are associated with the pressure generating unit. The control device is designed to control the pressure generating unit in particular, based on a respectively set operating mode in accordance with an actual operating pressure and/or an actual determined flow rate.

Abstract: A control system (208) for enabling deactivation of vehicle creep in a vehicle (10) with an engine (202), the control system (208) comprising one or more controllers (300), wherein the control system (208) is configured to: enable vehicle creep (402) so that wheel drive torque can reach a first value greater than zero without a driver load request and without a brake request, wherein enabling vehicle creep comprises the engine (202) being active while connected to a vehicle wheel (FL, FR); monitor for a vehicle creep deactivation signal (404); and in response to the vehicle creep deactivation signal (404), inhibit vehicle creep (412) so that wheel drive torque cannot reach the first value without a driver load request, and wherein inhibiting vehicle creep comprises causing disconnection (414) of the engine (202), at least in part, from the vehicle wheel (FL, FR).

Abstract: In a pressurized cleaning apparatus comprising a pressure generation unit for pressurizing a fluid, in particular for supplying a pressurized fluid via a hose attachment, preferably via a hand-held pistol or a spray nozzle, an operating unit is provided that is designed to make it possible to set a maximum operating pressure of the pressure generation unit at which the pressure generation unit is deactivated.

Abstract: An example injector includes a first conduit defining a first flow path including a first choke for a first fluid and a second conduit defining a second flow path including a second choke for a second fluid. The second choke is defined by a converging region upstream and a diverging region downstream of the second choke. The example injector further includes a mixing region after both the diverging region of the second flow path and the first choke and configured to receive the first fluid the second fluid, and an outlet configured to allow the first fluid and the second fluid to exit the mixing region. The first and second chokes are configured to allow a constant mass flow of the first and second fluids, respectively, to flow into the mixing region independent of a pressure at the outlet.

Abstract: Apparatus for drying and styling hair, comprising: first and second mutually-opposing arms adapted for movement between an open configuration for receiving a length of wet hair therebetween and a closed configuration adjacent the hair, such that, in use, when the arms are in the closed configuration they form an inter-arm chamber across which the hair passes, and wherein an airflow conduit is provided within and along at least one of the first and second arms; and means for delivering a flow of air along the conduit in the at least one of the first and second arms, and subsequently into the inter-arm chamber. Also provided is a method of drying (and optionally simultaneously styling) hair using such apparatus.

Abstract: In some examples, a ventilator includes a pneumatic connection configured to receive supply gas; an inspiratory path configured to deliver conditioned gas to lungs of a patient; a valve pneumatically connected to the pneumatic connection and configured to allow flow of the supply gas to the inspiratory path when the valve is open and block flow of the supply gas to the inspiratory path when the valve is closed; a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure of the supply gas at the pneumatic connection; and electronic control circuitry configured to control an opening and closing of the valve based on the measured pressure to produce a desired volume of conditioned gas in the inspiratory path.
