A data processing unit which is designed at least to control the inflow and outflow of the sample from and into the reservoir vessel or the high-temperature furnace, and to determine the carbon content of the sample.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an in-line compact measuring device, for example for optical measurements, comprising a housing having a process connection intended to be connected to a process vessel connection complementary to the process connection; at least one sensor assembly arranged in the housing; and a measuring circuit that is connected to the sensor assembly and is arranged in the housing. The in-line compact measuring device has at least one fluid line in thermally conductive contact with at least one housing wall of the housing, which fluid line can be connected to a cooling fluid supply arranged outside the housing.

Abstract: An arrangement including a guide system and a carrier vehicle. The guide system includes a route guide extending along a path for the carrier vehicle. To provide a flexible and rapid material flow in a production, the guide system has vehicle guide elements on the carrier vehicle. The guide system further includes vehicle guide elements on the carrier vehicle. The guide system is configured in such a way that a guide function of the guide system limits the degree of freedom of the translational movability of the carrier vehicle during the interaction of the route guide with the vehicle guide elements apart from a limited movement play to a translational movability along the path. The guide function may be cancelled at least in portions along the path by a movability of the route guide out of a guide position and may be activated by a movability of the route guide into the guide position.

Abstract: A sending device sends a key and financial data to a receiver device and a reconciliation device in a business intelligence system. The receiver device verifies the key and sends the verified key and financial data to the business intelligence system. The reconciliation device selects the data sets based on the keys and thereupon compares the financial data. If the comparison reveals the data sets as being proper matches, the financial data is considered reconciled and can then be cleared. If not, the non-reconciled data in the data set may be archived for later reconciliation operations at future time intervals or may be resubmitted to the sending device for reevaluation. The inclusion of addition data and an interaction between various financial processing instruments allows for the reconciliation of business intelligence data in a business intelligence application/system.
