Abstract: A solar receiver includes a hollow body, which has a longitudinal axis (8.4), a wall (8) surrounding the longitudinal axis (8.4), an opening (9) disposed in the wall (8) for the entry of heat rays, and an end region opposite the opening (9). The wall (8) includes an outer wall (8.1), an inner wall (8.2), and a partition wall (8.3) disposed therebetween. The outer wall (8.1) and the partition wall (8.3) enclose an outer annular space (8.1.1). The inner wall (8.2) and the partition wall (8.3) enclose an inner annular space (8.2.1). The outer annular space (8.1.1) has, in the end region, an inlet (12) for a free-flowing medium. The two annular spaces (8.1.1, 8.2.1) are conductively connected to one another in the region of the opening (9), and the inner annular space (8.2.1) has an outlet (11) for a free-flowing medium in the end region.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for sorting, particularly chopped, aluminum scrap by alloy groups are disclosed, in which the aluminum scrap is separated into fractions, fractions of the aluminum scrap are irradiated by at least one neutron source, the gamma radiation that the individual fraction emits due to this neutron irradiation is detected by at least one detector, and based on this, an energy spectrum associated with the respective fraction is generated, based on which energy spectrum a relative ratio of the weight proportions of at least two alloy elements of this fraction is determined, and based on this relative ratio, this fraction is allocated to its corresponding alloy group, and then the fractions are sorted by the alloy groups to which they have been allocated.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dumbbell comprising a dumbbell bar (1) that is used as a handle (3), and weight plates (2) at the ends that can be plugged or clipped onto the dumbbell bar (1) and can be replaced with different weights; the weight plate (2) has an outer surface (5) that faces outward in the mounted state. The disclosed dumbbell is characterized in that the outer surface (5) is formed by an asymmetrically weight-loaded flywheel (6) which is mounted on the weight plate (2) so as to be parallel thereto and be able to rotate about a central axis in such a way that the flywheel (6) always has the same orientation or angular position.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a motion detection and correction system and/or device for tracking and compensating for patient motion during a medical imaging scan can be adapted to be integrated into a medical imaging scanner, such as an MRI scanner, or be adapted to retrofit a pre-existing medical imaging scanner. In certain embodiments, the motion detection system and/or device can comprise one or more mounting brackets and a motion correction device housing, which can further comprise one or more detector modules and a power unit. In further embodiments, the collected motion data can be further analyzed by an image processing unit of the motion tracking and/or correction system.

Abstract: A closable container arrangement comprises a container, which comprises a container material and has a container longitudinal axis and a container connecting element, a lid which comprises a lid material, a sealing element, which comprises a sealing material, for sealing the lid on the container, wherein the sealing material comprises a hardness which is less than the hardness of the container material and/or is less than the hardness of the lid material.

Abstract: A method for detecting particles in a fluid stream includes generating a measurement field that can be passed through by the fluid stream, acquiring and evaluating measurement values of the fluid stream passing through the measurement field, and detecting at least one particle by way of a distinctive sequence of measurement values. Each of the distinctive successions of measurement values is acquired and evaluated to determine if a particle or a gas bubble is passing through the measurement field.

Abstract: A portable control unit may be quickly coupled and decoupled from docking stations on a plurality of process system components, such as cylindrical grinding machines. The portable control unit may be used to control the process system component and receive and output data produced by the process system component. The ability to quickly couple and decouple the portable control unit may allow a single portable control unit to be used to control numerous process system components, thereby saving cost and space. Various communications interfaces and attachment mechanisms may be used to communicatively and mechanically couple the portable control unit to a docking station.
