  • Patent number: 11965825
    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.

  • Patent number: 11953173
    Abstract: An illumination apparatus for vehicles having a light source, a support plate for receiving the light source, and an optical unit arranged in front of the light source in the main emission direction to deflect light emitted by the light source onto a roadway in front of the vehicle in accordance with a predetermined light distribution. The light source has a light-emitting surface and a light source frame surrounding the same. The light source is surrounded by a shielding frame with a wall that is raised in the main emission direction and encloses an intermediate space between the light source and the optical unit.

  • Publication number: 20240083474
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210053047
    Abstract: Disclosed is a measuring arrangement for measuring the total nitrogen bound (TN) in a measuring liquid, comprising: a radiation source emitting UV radiation; a radiation receiver configured to generate a signal that depends on the intensity of radiation impinging on the radiation receiver; a vessel having a first opening and a second opening opposite the first opening; a first window closing the first opening; and a second window closing the second opening. The first and second windows are transparent to the measuring radiation. The measuring radiation emitted by the radiation source propagates along a measuring path which extends from the radiation source through the first window, the vessel, and the second window to the radiation receiver. The measuring arrangement also includes a heating element in thermal contact with the vessel wall.

  • Publication number: 20210033500
    Abstract: The present disclosure conveys a method for dosing an amount of liquid with a peristaltic pump in an analyzer, wherein the analyzer is configured to determine a concentration of a measurand of a sample, wherein the peristaltic pump includes at least one rotor having at least two rollers, the method comprising the steps: determining the position of at least one roller of the peristaltic pump; moving the rotor of the peristaltic pump to an initial position if it is not already in an initial position; and dosing the amount of liquid to be conveyed by moving the rotor by counting roller passes through a reference position. The present disclosure further discloses an analyzer for implementing the method.

  • Patent number: 7640273
    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.
