  • Patent number: 11851860
    Abstract: A jet regulator for a fitting for dispensing boiling water is provided. The jet regulator includes a substantially cylindrical housing with an inlet opening and an outlet opening, and a swirl creating portion, arranged in the region of the inlet opening, with a substantially helically extending flow guide for rotationally accelerating a stream of water flowing through, an expansion zone, following the swirl creating portion, in which the rotationally accelerated stream of water can flow under the action of centrifugal force in the region of the housing inner wall, and a guide portion, in which the rotational movement of the stream of water is decelerated and the latter is guided in a longitudinal direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9060290
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system comprising a processing unit, a plurality of access nodes adapted to communicate with a plurality of mobile terminals and wireless backhaul links adapted to connect said access nodes and a wireless backhaul termination interfacing with a core network, According to the present invention:—said processing unit determining dynamically out of said plurality of access nodes, access nodes to remain unused and, access nodes to be used for supporting communication of said mobile terminals, said determination taking into account at least one optimisation criterion consisting in reducing the interference between active access nodes and mobile terminals; said processing unit determining a mapping between said mobile terminals and said active access nodes,—said wireless backhaul links consisting in point-to-multipoint connections between said wireless backhaul termination and said access nodes.

  • Publication number: 20020055023
    Abstract: The method for the operation of fuel cell battery (10) comprises a control system (14), through which the electrochemical reactions in cells (11) of the battery are influenced. Gaseous flows (1, 2) of two educts (A, B) are fed into the battery in a controlled manner in a conditionally predetermined ratio of quantities and are passed through the cells separately. The first educt (A) contains oxidizing components, the second educt (B) contains reducing components and the first educt is in particular ambient air. The educt flows (1, 2) are united after passage through the cells and are further treated by means of an afterburning process and with the production of a flow (3) of exhaust gas (C), so that at the conditionally predetermined ratio of quantities the reducing components are completely oxidized. The first educt flow, in particular the air flow, is variable through the control system to a limited extent; it is used for a regulation of the reaction temperature.

  • Publication number: 20020037445
    Abstract: The method for operating a fuel cell battery (1) comprises an analysis of an integrity state of the battery. This integrity state is determined by means of measurement of operating parameters and a programmed evaluation of the measurement data. The battery is controlled for the purpose of reliable operation in such a manner that the maximum electrical output power is subjected to a limitation which is dependent on the integrity state or an interruption of the operation is initiated. The integrity state can be characterized by at least two parameters, in particular a parameter pair cj, dj. From a relationship which contains the parameters an internal electrical resistance (Ri) of the battery can be calculated on the one hand and a statement on the quality of the battery can be derived on the other hand.
