Abstract: An anesthesia system is provided including an anesthesia apparatus, an anesthetic dispenser with an anesthetic reservoir, at least one dispensing parameter detection means, a contactless interface between the anesthesia apparatus and the anesthetic dispenser for transmitting data, especially the dispensing parameters, and for supplying the at least one dispensing parameter detection means with energy. The data and energy transmission takes place by means of electromagnetic field forces.

Abstract: A cable support system uses at least one connection element to hold together two cable support device elements at an overlapping connection section. Each cable support device element has at least one contact face within its connection section. The contact faces of the cable support device elements are in contact. The connection element includes a press-on section and latching arms on opposite sides of the press-on section. Each latching arm includes a connection limb and a hook element on the free end of the connection limb. At least one of the latching arms has spring-elastic material properties. In use, the connection limbs extend through the contact faces. The connection element is held under spring prestress with its press-on section on the surface of one cable support device element's connection section and its hook elements on the opposite surface of the second cable support device element's connection section.

Abstract: An arrangement serves for establishing a connection between two cable support device elements 1, 4 disposed in the region of a connection section 2, 7 such that they overlap for forming a cable support system utilizing at least one connection element 12 retaining together the two cable support device elements 1, 4. It is herein provided that each cable support device element 1, 4 within its connection section(s) 2, 7 has (have) at least one contact face 6, 23, on which, after the cable support device elements 1, 4 have been connected, is in contact with a contact face 23, 6 of the other cable support device element 4, 1 and each contact face 6, 23 is delimited on two sides by breakthroughs 5, 5? extending through the particular connection section 2, 7 bearing the contact face 6, 23, and/or by an edge 9 of the connection section 7.

Abstract: A filling system for an anesthetic evaporator allows an adapter neck (5) of a bottle adapter (1), which said adapter neck is coded in an anesthetic-specific manner, to be inserted into the filler neck of a filling device in a simple manner. A hinge (39) is provided between the adapter neck (5) and the threaded sleeve (2) of the bottle adapter (1).

Abstract: A container for the gastight sealing of a respirator. The container has two container shells (1, 2) abutting on front surfaces with a circumferential sealing element. The container second container shell (2) is provided with a handle (3) mounted at two opposite points of rotation (6). The handle (3) has a lever arm (5), which engages in the first container shell (1) in the closed position of the container. In the closed position of the container, the handle (3) preferably engages in an additional bracket (4) that is detachably connected to the first container shell (1).

Abstract: A vertical cylinder for drying and heating granules which includes an inlet at the top of the cylinder, a conically tapered outlet at the bottom of the cylinder, a rotatable screening ring beneath the inlet, a chute beneath the screening ring and a scraper above the ring inlets for gases in the downward extending section of the cylinder, a shell and tube heat exchanger located coaxially in the bottom quarter of the cylinder, a horizontally movable grid as flow control device below the heat exchange and a discharge zone below the grid.

Abstract: A process for achieving a uniform flow profile of very viscous liquids when flowing through tubes or reaction chambers, wherein the very viscous liquid is passed through annular spaces extending concentrically with increasing diameter over the entire cross-section of the tubes or reaction chambers and having the same depth in the direction of flow, and this procedure is repeated once or several times, the annular spaces being staggered with respect to each other as viewed in the direction of flow, and an apparatus consisting of a combination of two or more discs arranged at axial intervals within a tube transversely to the direction of flow, each disc consisting of a plurality of ring-shaped bands of increasing diameter, the bands being arranged freely of one another and concentrically at intervals on a grid supporting means to provide correspondingly concentric open spaces between the bands over the entire cross-section of the tube, with the walls of the bands running parallel to the direction of flow, and t

Abstract: In a process for drying and heating nylon granules, in which the granules flow downwards through a vertical zone, hot inert gases which are free from molecular oxygen are passed in counter-current through the granules and the cooled granules are then intermittently discharged in part-streams, the improvement wherein the wet granules, or a suspension of the granules in water, are fed into the zone at the top, the granules are deposited as a layer, the water is led away, the layer of granules is then transferred into the next-lower part of the zone, the granules are there allowed to flow under gravity downwards through the zone, and inert gases which are free from molecular oxygen are passed in countercurrent upwards through the granules at from 70 to 200.degree.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic flash device which is provided with a series arrangement of an electronic flash tube and a thyristor, which flash device is equipped with a flash duration limiter (computer electronic flash device).According to the invention a rectifier is connected anti-parallel to the thyristor. As a result a smaller thyristor can be used, while the energy consumption can be reduced and an unwanted "light spike" at the end of the flash duration can be avoided.

Abstract: The continuous countercurrent extraction of polylactam granules with hot water in an extraction zone for the removal of monomer and/or oligomers, the extraction zone being subdivided into subzones by at least one heating zone. The density of the extract-containing water differs by at least 0.0002 between the subzones.

Abstract: Impact-resistant thermoplastic molding materials prepared from a rigid component and a soft component. The rigid component consists of polystyrene, the soft component consists of a mixture of a polyolefin with a copolymer of a vinylaromatic and a diene hydrocarbon which has been prepared by anionic solution polymerization and which may have been hydrogenated. The molding materials may be used for the production of molded parts for use in domestic appliances, automobiles and refrigerators.
