Abstract: A method for commissioning a door system with the door system having door components, with at least one door component being designed as a control unit, with the method including the following steps: storing an electronic configuration of the door system in the control unit and/or a mobile terminal, and carrying out at least one commissioning step by the electronic configuration.

Abstract: A breathing apparatus includes a compressed air source with a compressed air source valve, a breathing regulator with a pressure reducer and a demand valve, a breathing mask connected to the demand valve at a first inlet connector, a second air source, a switching mechanism having an actuating member for switching between the compressed air source and the second air source and an exhalation valve, on the breathing mask, movable between a higher internal pressure in a second operating state than in a first operating state. The actuating member is provided on the breathing regulator. The switching mechanism, upon being switching to compressed air breathing, activates the lung-governed demand valve and adjusts the exhalation valve to the second operating state. Upon switching to breathing via the second air source, the lung-governed demand valve is deactivated and the exhalation valve (30) is adjusted to the first operating state.

Abstract: A gas mask with a connection piece (11) at a mask body has an adapter (12), which is rotatably received in the connection piece (11). The gas mask has an angle piece (13) outside the mask that connects to a drinking tube (7) for the consumption of food or beverage and has a mouthpiece within the mask to form a drinking device (2). A swivel joint connection is provided between the adapter (12) and angle piece (13) to accomplish the object.

Abstract: A gas mask is provided for normal-pressure and overpressure operation with at least one breathing port, an expiration valve with a valve spring, an adjusting element affecting the prestress of the valve spring and a pushing element having a first switching position and a second switching position. The pushing element is designed to act on the adjusting element during a translatory motion from the first switching position into the second switching position. A change in the prestress of the valve spring can be brought about and a switchover from a “normal pressure” mode into an “overpressure” mode can thus be carried out.

Abstract: A traffic broadcast system includes a traffic broadcast module, a traffic receiver module, and a display module. The traffic broadcast module includes a traffic database module for gathering traffic data and an electronic device capable of transmitting broadcast signals of the traffic data across a broadcast area. The vehicle having a traffic receiver module that receives and analyzes broadcast signals having traffic data relevant to the vehicle with respect to the vehicle's position and direction. The display module having a key for a speedometer that informs a user of the vehicle a speed range to maintain a right of way through a next upcoming light.

Abstract: A method and system of the invention locates an available vehicle parking space. In the method, parked information indicative of a parked condition is stored in a first vehicle. The first vehicle may detect a change in condition from the parked condition to a vacating condition. The first vehicle then communicates the change in condition from the first vehicle to a neighboring searching vehicle and the searching vehicle detects the change.

Abstract: A fastening apparatus for pressurized-gas vessels is provided on a carrier. The fastening apparatus makes it possible to fasten a pressurized-gas vessel as well as to adapt the fastening apparatus to differently sized pressurized-gas vessels with one manipulative step. The fastening apparatus includes a carrier, a belt, a locking device, fastening points and redirection points for the belt.

Abstract: Geographically-relevant information is provided to mobile users by having an information source provide location-referenced information to one or more backend server systems. In response, the backend server system determines a region for which the received location-referenced information is relevant, and then identifies one or more specific cellular base stations that provide wireless broadcast service over an actual broadcast region which covers at least a majority of the determined region. A condition message may then be provided to each of the identified cellular base stations, which are correspondingly instructed to wirelessly broadcast the message over the actual broadcast region.

Abstract: A virtual road loop detector has a traffic control system that sends out a signal identifying location and intersection. The traffic control system, used for efficiently switching a traffic control switch, includes an intersection control module that communicates with a vehicle control module in order to determine if the traffic switch changes. The intersection control module is designed to send information regarding the intersection, which provides a virtual loop detector that assists in identify incoming vehicles and relevant switch requests from those vehicles. The virtual loop detector is a theoretical loop and defined by a pre-determined dimension from the intersection. The vehicle control module is provided to identify location and analyze information received from the intersection control system, such as proximity to or within the virtual loop detector.

Abstract: A measuring head is used in measuring an assembly part of a nuclear facility, such as a fuel rod, a fuel assembly box, or a spacer of the fuel assembly. The measuring head is capable of augmenting a comparatively large data base representing the overall aging state of the fuel elements in a simple manner and within a short measuring time. The measuring head has a probe tip on the sensor housing and a layer thickness measuring probe is integrated into said probe housing, said measuring probe working according to the eddy current principle. The contour or the diameter of the fuel rod can be determined by the measured deflection of the probe.
