Abstract: An electrical bushing having an anti-rotation mounting flange for preventing rotation of a body element of the electrical bushing is provided. The electrical bushing includes a mounting flange, at least one locking element and a body element having a circumferential protrusion. At least one first recess is formed in the circumferential protrusion, and the at least one locking element is configured to engage with the at least one first recess and with the mounting flange for restricting relative rotation of the body element relative to the mounting flange about a longitudinal axis R. A further aspect provides an electrical transformer including at least one electrical bushing according to the above. A yet further aspect provides a method for mounting the electrical bushing according to the above.

Abstract: A spring feeding device configured to feed a spring (9) comprises a feeding member (60) delimiting a channel (68), a pusher (70) configured to push the spring (9) along the channel (68) delimited by the feeding member (60), and a drive mechanism con-figured to displace both the feeding member (60) and the pusher (70) such that the feeding member (60) and the pusher (70) move in opposite directions (91, 92).

Abstract: A spring setting device (30) comprises a setting guide (31; 40) configured to receive a spring, an abutment member (32; 50) positioned adjacent to the setting guide (31; 40) and configured to abuttingly engage the spring, and a pusher (35; 71) which is configured to displace the spring along the setting guide (31; 40) and to compress the spring against the abutment member (32; 50). The abutment member (32; 50) may be rotatably mounted.

Abstract: A device for conveying a spring string (31) has a first spring conveyor (3) and a second spring conveyor (4). By means of a sensor device, in operation, lengths of a plurality of segments of the spring string differing from one another are detected, while the spring string (31) is guided past a sensor (5) of the sensor device arranged in the conveying direction upstream of the second spring conveyor (4). A control device (9) is provided which sets, in an operating state of the device (1) in which both the first spring conveyor (3) and the second spring conveyor (4) convey the spring string (31), time-sequentially a plurality of relative conveying speeds between a conveying speed of the second spring conveyor (4) and a conveying speed of the first spring conveyor (3), depending on the detected lengths.

Abstract: To provide a method for producing a catalyst flow element (100) by means of which robustly constructed catalyst flow elements (100) usable in a broad field of operation are producible, it is proposed that the following method steps be performed in the method: providing a main body (102) including a plurality of flow channels (104); introducing slots (116) into partition walls (110) of the main body (102), which separate the flow channels (104) from one another such that at least two adjacent flow channels (104) are connected together fluidically within the main body (102) in a common end region (130) of the at least two adjacent flow channels (104); and arranging channel closures (118) in the common end region (130) for fluid-tight closure of the common end region (130) while maintaining the fluidic connection between the at least two adjacent flow channels (104) in the common end region (130).

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of T-cadherin polypeptides for screening for modulators thereof, and to the use of said modulators for treating disorders selected from the group consisting of a metabolic disorder, a gynecologic disorder, a chronic inflammatory disorder and a liver or renal disorder. Metabolic disorders that may be treated using a modulator according to the present invention include, e.g., obesity, type II diabetes, insulin resistance, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia, syndrome X, cachexia and anorexia.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for navigating an unmanned vehicle over a predeterable course, respectively such a vehicle. A steering and control unit determines by a first sensor at least the stretch covered and detects by at least one second sensor objects in the vicinage the position of which is stored in the steering and control unit and which serve the purpose of checking the position of the vehicle computed on the basis of the covered stretch. In accordance with the present invention the distance of the vehicle from the objects in the vicinage stored with their exact position in relation to the planned path in the steering and control unit is ascertained by the second sensor at points on the path spaced at intervals. The ascertained distance is compared with the stored distance of the planned coordinates of the point on the path from the object in vicinage.
