Abstract: A mounting element which allows for safe mounting of a module on a main body, the contact pressure acting on the module or on the main body not exceeding a maximum pressure, includes a control unit, a resilient clamping element and an actuation element. The control unit includes a pressure element and a counterpressure element, and the resilient clamping element is connected to the pressure element and to the counterpressure element. The actuation element includes a tool holder having a mounting recess and increases or reduces a contact pressure of the resilient clamping element between the pressure element and the counterpressure element when actuated in a tightening direction and a release direction, respectively. The mounting element further includes a displacement element that is connected to the clamping element and fills the mounting recess of the tool holder as soon as the contact pressure exceeds a maximum pressure.

Abstract: A combustor, including: a catalyst bed portion supporting a catalyst capable of promoting a combustion reaction of fuel; a vaporizer which is arranged on the downstream side of the catalyst bed portion with respect to a flow of the fuel going through the catalyst bed portion and is configured to be able to use a combustion gas generated from the combustion reaction as a hot fluid; a manifold portion which is outside the catalyst bed portion and guides air in a direction opposite to the flow of the fuel going through the catalyst bed portion and has a wall portion on which a sidewall of the vaporizer is projected; and a fuel introducing portion configured to penetrate the wall portion of the manifold portion so that the fuel evaporated by the vaporizer can be introduced into the manifold portion.

Abstract: A thermoform packaging machine comprising, as work stations, a forming station for thermoforming troughs in a packaging film, at least one sealing station for sealing the troughs with a cover film, and a cutting station as well as a feeding device for causing a feed of the packaging film. A method for using such a thermoform packaging machine wherein a controller determines for two or more work stations, prior to a process step, which required feed length each of these work stations has, the required feed length indicating the distance by which the packaging film will have to be conveyed for the next process step of the respective work station, before a feed length specification is ascertained from the required feed lengths determined and the feeding device is controlled accordingly.

Abstract: The tank contains a liquid in which a radioactive element emitting gamma radiation is distributed substantially uniformly. A photon detector (15) is disposed in the vicinity of the external surface of a measurement, zone of the wall (12), a count is made of the photons emitted by the radioactive element distributed in the liquid (7), through the measurement zone of the wall (12), a number of photons determined by counting is compared with a reference number emitted by the radioactive element through a reference zone of the wall (12) and it is deduced therefrom whether or not a defect (8) is present in the measurement zone of the wall (12). The measurement device comprises a photon detector (15) disposed at one end of a collimator (16) made of heavy metal traversed by channels or windows (17).
