Abstract: A fluid pump, in particular a water pump, has a pump housing (11) that surrounds a pump wheel and a motor housing, connected to the pump housing, in which an electric motor (21) driving the pump wheel is received along with a stator (22) and rotor. For the sake of sealing off the pump from the escape of fluid and sealing off the motor housing from the penetration of fluid, with only one seal, and with assembly of the fluid pump without additional connecting elements, the pump housing (11) has a lower housing part (12) with an annular rib (14) protruding radially outward, and an upper housing part (13) slipped onto the lower housing part (12). Between the free annular face end of the upper housing part (13) and the annular rib (14), there is a sealing ring (15).

Abstract: In a method for recognizing disruptions in road traffic within a road sector that is to be monitored at respective measurement cross-sections at the beginning and at the end of the sector, the number and the speed of the vehicles passing through the measurement cross-sections are continuously acquired as measured data, which are collected and compiled cyclically during finite measurement intervals to provide average values of the traffic flow and the speed, and are then evaluated. Each measurement cross-section thereby encompasses all lanes of traffic that can be used in one direction of travel.

Abstract: This invention relates to a low-pressure chromatography column 1 having a diameter of more than 30 cm, and essentially consisting of a vertical cylinder 13 having a base plate 12, a lower sintered disk 3 arranged above the base plate 12, an upper sintered disk 16 fastened to the underside of a lid designed as a mobile plunger 4, and having at least three controllable elements 5 for raising or lowering the plunger 4, which are connected to the plunger 4, equipped with sensors 6 electrically connected to a control unit 10 for determining the vertical position and horizontal placement of the plunger 4. With the aid of an optical observation device (e.g., endoscope), the plunger/gel material can be adjusted exactly over the entire positioning range of the plunger. The advantages of the invention include simple and rapid production of the packing and purer products than could be obtained without such packing.
