Abstract: A method monitors the state of a device having a first drive cylinder for receiving hydraulic fluid and a first drive piston which is movably arranged in the first drive cylinder. The method determines a speed of the first drive piston, establishes a difference between the determined speed of the first drive piston and an expected speed of the first drive piston, and determines a faulty state as a function of the difference established between the determined speed of the first drive piston and the expected speed of the first drive piston.

Abstract: A handheld light assembly for eradicating pathogens includes a housing. A processor and a lamp are disposed inside the housing. The lamp irradiates surfaces with disinfecting ultraviolet light having a peak wavelength of 222 nm filtered to restrict illumination to between 200 nm and 230 nm within an irradiation zone. A distance measuring system includes a secondary light source generating secondary light and a photodetector for measuring distance of the secondary light to a surface being irradiated by the lamp light being reflected from the surface to the photodetector. The secondary light source is offset at an angle from the lamp thereby projecting the light beam to a central area of the irradiation zone generated by the lamp. The photodetector signals the processor to calculate a vertical distance between the lamp and the central area of the irradiation zone on the surface being irradiated from an angular projection of the secondary light.

Abstract: Transporting loads is a fundamental component of intralogistics. Autonomous industrial trucks can be used for this. The autonomous industrial truck claimed according to the invention is able, by means of the implemented navigation, load receiving and load placing methods, to ensure efficient transporting of loads. The invention relates to an autonomous industrial truck having a rearwardly-directed sensor unit for detecting the load and the loading environment and implemented process sequences for approaching the load, receiving the load and placing the load.

Abstract: An underwater ROV or AUV with 8 vectored thrusters that provides a high degree of dynamic stabilisation, 6-degrees of freedom, and a system to control an underwater ROV or AUV with single or multiple thruster failures. In addition, the ROV/AUV has a system to minimise silt disturbance when operating close to fine silt or sensitive environments.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to modular devices and systems for providing variable strength mixtures of fluids. A fluid combining device allows for the relative volume of a first liquid to be varied with respect to a total volume of fluid being delivered to a user (such as a combination of two or more liquids), which in turn changes the fluid ratios.

Abstract: Fluid transfer couplings or connectors including dual function press-in bottle adaptors supporting different syringe types, connectors having a universal port for supporting different syringe types, transfer couplings compatible for use with different syringe types. Other caps and closures incorporating couplings for fluid transfer with different syringe types is also disclosed.

Abstract: An electrostatic transducer, a diaphragm (2) therefor, and corresponding methods of manufacture are disclosed. The electrostatic transducer is preferably for use in a motor vehicle. A composite laminated diaphragm (2) is manufactured by providing a first insulating layer (4), providing a conductive layer (6) on a surface of the first insulating layer (4), and bonding a second insulating layer (10) to the conductive layer (6) such that the second insulating layer (10) extends over the conductive layer (6). The first and second insulating layers (4, 10) each comprise a sheet of uncharged insulating material. The thickness of the composite laminated diaphragm (2) is less than 20 ?m.

Abstract: The techniques described herein implement a proxy service associated with a public cloud platform. A proxy server receives a connection request sent via an account. The connection request includes a connection parameter such as a specific time the request is initiated, a specific location of a device used to initiate the request, or an identification of the device used to initiate the request. The proxy server maps the account to a policy. The proxy server then determines whether the connection parameter included in the request is anomalous to a corresponding parameter defined in the policy. In an event the connection parameter is an anomalous parameter, the proxy server takes actions to determine whether the policy can be dynamically updated to accommodate the anomalous parameter. If an accommodation can be made, a user or device does not have to wait an extended period of time to gain access to the resource.
