  • Patent number: 8789775
    Abstract: A method for refining aqueous suspended cellulose fibers including the step of guiding the fibers in an aqueous suspension between refiner fillings. The refiner fillings are provided with refining strips and interposed grooves and are located either on a rotor or a stator. The refiner fillings are caused to be rotatably moved relative to each other and pressed against each other, thereby transmitting mechanical a refining action to the cellulose fibers. The refiner fillings include barriers in at least part of the grooves, the barriers closing the grooves at least partially.

  • Publication number: 20140146996
    Abstract: The processing of remote sensing data, wherein first image data are processed with the use of second digital image data which, compared with the first image data, have a finer local resolution. The local resolution of the first digital image data is refined temporarily. The local resolution and every pixel of the temporarily refined first image data corresponds to the local resolution and each pixel of the second digital image data. Determining a weighting value for the pixels of the second digital image data which corresponds to a weighting of a image value of the pixel in the ratio of the image value of the pixel to image values of surrounding pixels. A smoothing of the local plot of the image values in the area of the pixel and its environment is implemented such that the weighting value of larger values is based on additional smoothing of image values.

  • Patent number: 8662570
    Abstract: A radiator grille for a motor vehicle includes a basic support with a region for a marquee badge having an external contour that is, at least in regions, curved or oblique. A number of fins are held on the basic support, the number of fins are movable out of a closed position closing respective passage openings in the radiator grille into an open position uncovering the passage openings. In this case, at least one of the fins is displaceable in the direction of its longitudinal extent by bringing it from the closed position into the open position.

  • Publication number: 20140026648
    Abstract: A known metering system for automatically maintaining a predefinable concentration of a liquid corrosion inhibitor in the aqueous hydraulic liquid of a water-hydraulic hydraulic system is characterized in that the measuring circuit can be disconnected from the hydraulic system (controllable valves 14, 15), in that the measuring circuit can be short-circuited between the outlet line and the inlet line by means of controllable valves 16, 17 and can be connected to a source (cleaning tank 18) of a cleaning liquid for a cleaning circuit. As a result, a cleaning liquid for cleaning the concentration sensor can be circulated in the measuring circuit for a predefinable time. For the purpose of calibration, the metering system can be charged with a reference liquid with a known inhibitor concentration, in particular water, in particular water from the public supply. Further sensors (23-25) can be connected into the measuring circuit.

  • Patent number: 8564969
    Abstract: The invention relates to a component arrangement with a first substrate and at least one second substrate arranged on the first substrate, wherein the first substrate has at least one first contact element and the at least one second substrate has at least one second contact element and the contact elements each has a contact surface connected such as to give an electrical contact and a protective layer connecting the first and second substrate together. During production the protective layer is structured such that a part surface of the first substrate and a part surface of the at least one second substrate are not covered, wherein the part surfaces include the contact surfaces of the at least one first and second contact elements and the contact generated between the contact surfaces is hence not contaminated by the protective layer. The contact surfaces are thus freely accessible without elements of the protective layer lying therebetween.

  • Patent number: 8541963
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrodynamic braking device and to a method for braking a universal motor having a field winding and an armature. The universal motor can be switched from a motor mode to a braking mode. In the motor mode, the armature and the field winding are supplied with an alternating current of a power grid. In the braking mode, the armature is short-circuited and the field winding continues to be supplied with an alternating current from the power grid. In a first phase of the braking mode, the field winding can be supplied with an alternating current having the frequency of the power grid. In a further phase of the braking mode, the field winding is supplied by the power grid with an alternating current having a frequency that is reduced with respect to the frequency of the power grid.
