  • Patent number: 11680656
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mixing cartridge (1) for generating mixed water with a mixing temperature, having a hot water inlet (2) for hot water, having a cold water inlet (3) for cold water, having a mixing chamber (4), in which the hot and cold water can be mixed, and having a mixed water outlet (5) through which the mixed water can leave the mixing cartridge (1). According to the invention, the mixing cartridge (1) has at least one vortex element (6), which is arranged and/or designed in such a way that the water flowing through the mixing cartridge in a flow direction can be made to rotate, such that the water can form a water vortex.

  • Patent number: 9772048
    Abstract: In a rotary handle for a thermostatically controlled valve, which is arranged on an actuator brought out of a valve housing, having a stop body, which acts together with a stop cam provided on the valve housing. It is provided that the stop body is movable in the rotation direction in such a way that by a relative movement between the stop body and the rotary handle, turning of the rotary handle by a rotation angle greater than 360° is made possible.

  • Patent number: 8355781
    Abstract: An implantable heart stimulator (10), which has a right-atrial sensing unit (62), which is connected or is to be connected to a right-atrial electrode for recording electrical potentials of the myocardium of a right atrium, and is implemented to process electrical signals recorded via the right-atrial electrode, and to detect signal features characterizing a right-atrial stimulation and contraction in the electrical signal recorded via the right-atrial electrode. The heart stimulator (10) additionally has a left-ventricular sensing unit (66), which is connected or is to be connected to a left-ventricular electrode for recording electrical potentials of the myocardium of a left ventricle of a heart and is implemented to process electrical signals recorded via the left-ventricular electrode. The left-ventricular sensing unit (66) is implemented to detect signal features in the electrical signal recorded via the left-ventricular electrode which characterize a left-atrial contraction.
