  • Publication number: 20240238533
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed toward a safety needle assembly including a hub having a proximal end for connecting with a syringe extending in a proximal area of the hub; a needle longitudinally extending from a distal end of the hub in a distal area of the hub; and a sheath pivotally connected to the hub. The sheath can have two side walls connected by a back wall defining a receiving space therebetween for receiving the needle; wherein the sheath is adjustable between a starting position in which the sheath is substantially positioned in the distal area of the hub, between a use position in which the sheath is substantially positioned in the proximal area of the hub, and between a locked position in which the sheath is locked to secure the needle into the receiving space.

  • Publication number: 20230053836
    Abstract: A method identifies asymmetrical vibrations during the operation of an electric device which is connected to a high-voltage grid. Vibrations of the electric device are detected using vibration sensors which provide measured values on the output side. The measured values and/or values derived from the measured values are transmitted to a communication unit via a close-range communication connection. The measured values and/or the values are transmitted by the communication unit to a data processing cloud via a far-range communication connection. The measured values are separated into frequency components by the data processing cloud using a Fourier transformation, thereby obtaining a frequency spectrum. Odd and even frequency components of the frequency spectrum are ascertained based on a base frequency of the high-voltage supply grid and put into a ratio R relative to one another. The presence of asymmetrical vibrations is indicated if the ratio R exceeds a specified threshold.

  • Patent number: 11260749
    Abstract: Cooling control systems described herein detect decreased operation of a cooling system of a vehicle, restrict movement of the vehicle without stopping movement responsive to decreased operation of the cooling system, and restrict movement of the vehicle by preventing the vehicle from traveling at a speed and/or power output for a non-zero designated period of time. This can allow for the vehicle to continue moving for a temporary period of time to avoid blocking traffic. Other control systems determine predicted distances and/or times that the vehicle can continue moving before coolant in the cooling system decreases below a designated threshold. Movement of the vehicle can be changed responsive to an upcoming distance and/or time that the vehicle is to travel exceeding the predicted distance and/or time. Other control systems modify a coolant flow rate based on differences between designated and ambient conditions.

  • Patent number: 10309297
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a detecting surge of a turbocharger in an engine system. In one example, system includes a turbocharger including a compressor coupled to a turbine and a controller and sensor system configured to detect a surge event of the turbocharger based on at least one of a rate of change of a pressure measured by sensors downstream of the compressor and a measured rate of change of turbine speed, store operational data associated with the surge event in memory of the controller, and determine a performance of the turbocharger based at least in part on one or more of a cumulative number of detected surge events, a magnitude of detected surge events, or associated operational data.

  • Patent number: 4111855
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to liquid homogeneous substantially unbuilt enzyme containing detergent compositions. These liquid compositions contain a major amount of a surfactant mixture comprising an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and a synthetic anionic surfactant, a low level of a polyacid, free calcium ions, a proteolytic enzyme and a liquid carrier. The liquid compositions of this invention are from a performance standpoint comparable to granular built heavy duty detergent compositions. In respect to the comparable known liquid detergent state of the art, the compositions herein are capable of providing superior cleaning performance and excellent storage stability, particularly as regards the enzymatic activity.
