Abstract: A door handle assembly for integration into a vehicle door including a support element coupled to the vehicle door, a handle element arranged on the support element, and a radar apparatus arranged on the support element or on or in the handle element and configured to emit radar radiation and to receive reflected radar radiation.

Abstract: An adjustment assembly for use in a vehicle, including an adjustable part configured to move between an open position and a closed with respect to a vehicle body. The adjustable part may include an outer side and an inner side. At least a portion of the adjustable part may define an opening extending between the outer side and the inner side. The adjustment assembly may include an ultrasonic transmitter, disposed on either the adjustable part or the vehicle body and may be configured to emit a number of ultrasonic waves to an obstacle, and an ultrasonic receiver disposed on the inner side of the adjustable part and configured to receive the ultrasonic waves reflected from the obstacle through the opening.

Abstract: An arrangement for shaft sealing and to a method for monitoring the sealing of the shaft seal are provided. The arrangement includes a rotating slide ring and a stationary slide ring, with a sealing gap having a lubricating film therebetween. The arrangement includes at least one sound transducer for generating and/or receiving exciting sound waves in the form of Lamb Rayleigh waves in at least one slide ring. The signals of the sound transducer are evaluated by an evaluation unit to determine the condition of the lubricating film in the gap.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pump rotor for a peristaltic hose pump, in particular a medical peristaltic hose pump, with at least one actuating device, by which the pump rotor can be actuated hydraulically and/or pneumatically. Furthermore the present invention in particular relates to a medical peristaltic hose pump and to a method for actuating a pump rotor of a peristaltic hose pump.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a clot trap that comprises a disc-shaped screen surface for collecting clots in a fluid flowing through the screen surface. It further relates to an external blood cassette and a blood circuit, as well as a treatment apparatus.

Abstract: A bearing including a first and a second bearing element that are movable relative to one another, a lubricant arranged between the first and the second bearing element for reducing the friction between the first and the second bearing element, at least one transmitter for exciting acoustic waves in the first or the second bearing element, the transmitter being arranged on the first or the second bearing element; at least one receiver for receiving acoustic waves evoked by the transmitter, the receiver being arranged on the first or the second bearing element, wherein information related to properties of the lubricant can be determined using a signal generated by the receiver upon receipt of acoustic waves evoked by the transmitter. The invention is also related to a method for determining properties of a lubricant in a bearing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a protective device for a pressure converter in a blood treatment machine. Traditional converter-protective devices are not easy to mount on the treatment machine because they offer the user hardly any gripping surface. With the converter-protective device according to the present invention, the housing with the anti-contamination barrier can be gripped on the main surface in mounting it and can be inserted into the machine. This is achieved by the fact that the connector axes and the housing with the anti-contamination barrier are situated in parallel planes which are arranged perpendicular to the surface of the device after assembly. Due to this orientation, both sides of the anti-contamination barrier can be observed from the front at the sides during operation so that rupture of the anti-contamination barrier can easily be detected by the user.
