The mounting has a recess between the first section and the second section.

Abstract: An angle piece for fluidically connecting fluid lines of a vehicle. The angle piece has a channel portion for altering a flow direction of a fluid about an alteration angle. An input flow direction of the fluid into the angle piece and an outlet flow direction of the fluid from the angle piece form limbs of the alteration angle. At least one guide element is arranged in the channel portion, which guide element protrudes into the channel portion. The at least one guide element altering the flow direction of a part of the fluid by the alteration angle. The angle piece thus has a low pressure drop.

Abstract: A device for connecting two tubular objects has a connection piece housing and a securing element. The securing element is shaped in a complementary manner with respect to a receiving opening of the connection piece housing and is arranged rotatably in the receiving opening and has an insertion opening for receiving a connection piece. The securing element has securing tabs which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction and each have a radially inwardly facing securing body for engaging in shaped features of a connection piece and can be moved from a first position into a second radial position lying radially on the outside. The connection piece housing has, for each securing tab, a ramp surface which is bevelled radially inwards and on which the securing tab rests.

The system adjusts, based on the estimated metrics, one or more distribution parameters, and distributes digital components to the client devices based on the distribution parameters.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment system includes a wastewater tank having a distribution chamber and a treatment chamber. The distribution chamber has a treated wastewater outlet and a recirculation circuit inlet. The treatment chamber has an untreated wastewater inlet and a recirculation circuit exit. Recirculation circuit piping connects the recirculation circuit inlet to the recirculation circuit exit. A pump is fluidly connected to the recirculation circuit inlet and the pump is adapted to pump a portion of wastewater from the distribution chamber to the treatment chamber through the recirculation circuit. A flow-through electrochemical reactor is disposed in the recirculation circuit. The flow-through electrochemical reactor electrochemically remediates undesirable chemical compounds in wastewater flowing through the recirculation circuit, thereby purifying the wastewater in the system.
