This piston dummy (5) is preferentially designed in such a manner that upon reaching the top dead centre it brings about an acceleration of the liquid (3) in the ring gap defined by said piston dummy and the piston chamber wall.

Abstract: Described is a method for filling a storage container with a gaseous, pressurized medium, preferably with gaseous, pressurized hydrogen. According to the invention, a determination of the internal storage container pressure takes place at the onset of the filling process by means of a pressure test impact and a filling process with time-controlled pressure increase up to the desired internal storage container pressure takes place subsequently as a function of the established internal storage container pressure.

According to the invention, the remote control unit (20) comprises the following components: at least one first operator control element which has a predefined function of an electronic driving authorization and/or access authorization system (13.2) assigned to it, and at least one second operator control element and at least one display unit for menu prompted control of at least one ride level control system (13.1).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing a natural gas stream is disclosed. The natural gas stream to be compressed is liquefied and then compressed by means of at least one cryogenic pump. Liquefaction of the natural gas stream to be compressed preferably takes place using the energy from a low-temperature process, specifically in the exchange of heat countercurrent to at least one medium to be heated, preferably countercurrent to a cryogenic medium.

Abstract: A magnetoinductive flowmeter encompasses a ceramic measuring tube as a conduit for a medium whose flow rate is to be measured, and a measuring electrode featuring a cermet body. The measuring tube is mounted in the wall of the measuring tube with its side that faces the medium conductively or capacitively connecting to the medium while its side facing away from the medium connects to a measuring line. The cross-sectional surface area of the cermet body is larger at its end facing the medium than at its other end facing away from the medium. The result is a measuring electrode that fully meets the respective requirements at either end notwithstanding minimized material consumption in making the electrode. A method for producing a measuring tube for the flowmeter is also disclosed.

Abstract: An insole suitable for adaptation of a shoe to the particular foot width of the wearer includes a support sole (2) with a lateral delimitation (3) corresponding to the actual insole outline; a dish-shaped edge (4) extending upwardly and laterally beyond the support sole delimitation (3), connected firmly to the support sole, and manufactured from a softer and more flexible material than the support sole material; a thickening (5) on the front side of the support sole (2) with a lateral delimitation (6) that is displaced in an inward direction relative to the support sole delimitation (3), forming a lasting margin recess (7) on the underside of the insole; and a sock selected from a set of socks, each sock in the set having an identical heel thickness and a front foot thickness that is graduated among each sock in the set to correspond to different foot widths.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insole which comprises the following: a supporting sole (2), whose lateral limit (3) (supporting sole limit), corresponds at least in the front foot region to the actual outline of the insole; a bowl-shaped edge (4) (bowl edge) which curves upwards and consists of a supple, flexible material in contrast to the material of the supporting sole.

Abstract: In a casting furnace employing a liquid metal bath to allow directional solidification of an article from a melt, and a method of operating such a furnace, a system is provided for lowering the mold from within a heating chamber into a liquid metal bath situated immediately beneath the heating chamber. An automated system is provided for automatically maintaining the level of the liquid metal bath at a relatively constant position immediately beneath the heating chamber, wherein simultaneously upon the level of the bath having risen due to immersion of the mold within the bath, the bath is lowered to thereby permit the level of the liquid metal bath to be maintained in a substantially fixed position.
