  • Publication number: 20210220604
    Abstract: A valve arrangement (1) for a fluid carrying system (18, 21). This fluid-carrying system (18, 21) is capable of establishing a fluid connection between a patient-side coupling unit (26, 27) and a ventilator (17). In an open position a shut-off unit (7) connects a patient-side port (3) to a device-side port (4) of the valve arrangement (1) and closes this fluid connection in a closed position. A locking unit is capable of locking the shut-off unit in both the open position and the closed position. When the shut-off unit is in the closed position and, in addition, a pressure above a preset pressure limit is present at the patient-side port, the shut-off unit is moved into the open position automatically and against a locking effect of the locking unit. A process for operating a ventilation system (2) with the ventilator and the valve arrangement is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10893083
    Abstract: In some embodiments, one or more wireless stations operate according to Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN)—direct communication with neighboring wireless stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. Embodiments of the disclosure relate to NAN datapath scheduling and NAN pre-datapath operation setup and scheduling. The NAN datapath embodiments described herein provide a mechanism through which devices can communicate and provide services. Aspects of the datapath development include datapath scheduling, including datapath setup and scheduling attributes, as well as pre-datapath operation triggering and scheduling. Scheduling attributes may include a native scheduler rank and a NAN data cluster scheduler rank. NAN data cluster base schedules may be scheduled as equal-sets or subsets of datapath schedules. The datapath model may be implemented for unicast and multicast communication between wireless stations, including mobile stations.

  • Patent number: 10713474
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for warless communications. An apparatus may identifying a living person by recording a heat image of a person's facial area and detecting a local heat inhomogeneity in a predetermined detection range of the heat image in order to identify the living person. Identifying the living person may include detecting a heat pattern in a predetermined detection range and comparing the detected heat pattern to a heat reference sample. The predetermined detection range may be detected based on a heat image geometry, using pattern matching, by comparing the heat image to a white light image of a living person, or by masking the heat image.

  • Patent number: 10670070
    Abstract: A telescopic drive shaft in a protective tube of a handheld work apparatus has one end connected to a rotational drive and the other end thereof to a driven tool. The drive shaft includes a rigid shaft segment and a connecting section. The rigid shaft segment has a hollow shaft end portion and an engagement length (E) of the connecting section engages therein. The engagement length (E) and the length of the hollow shaft end portion mutually overlap to form a joining section. The hollow shaft end portion is deformed for connecting the connecting section to the rigid shaft segment. The material of the hollow shaft end portion is compressed over its entire periphery and deformed so that the material of the hollow shaft end portion is radially displaced and is pressed in a rotative manner onto the engagement length (E) to produce a balanced, loadable connection.
