Abstract: A sanitary insert (1) in which the overall cross section of the aeration ducts (9, 18, 22, 23) of a jet aeration unit (3) is reduced by a ratio to the outer circumference of a mixing chamber (6) so that an air flow captures a leakage flow on the seal-free outer circumference of the insert (1) and transports the same into the mixing chamber (6).

Abstract: A method and an associated controller for safely operating a multi-axis kinematic system by using a safety function are disclosed. The method includes calculating compensation values at the run time of a controller of the multi-axis kinematic system, wherein the calculation is performed based on predefinable error values of respective axes, geometric parameters of the multi-axis kinematic system, and current axis values of the multi-axis kinematic system. The method further includes operating the safety function based on the calculated compensation values.

Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in the technical field of jet regulators. Proposed as an improvement is inter alia a jet regulator (1) having two mutually separate ducts (2) and (3) which are disposed inside one another, in which a water guide (5) of an inner duct (3) is latched in a splitter unit (4) assigned to an outer duct (2) of the two ducts (2) and (3) and, as a result, is fixed in two axial directions.
