Abstract: A conveyor chute is suitable for use as a store for goods, such as packages and pieces of luggage. The conveyor chute has at least one sliding section with an inclined sliding surface with a direction of fall along the sliding surface as well as a sliding width. The sliding section has a width adjusting mechanism which allows the goods to be distributed across at least part of the sliding width and which thus allows the conveyor chute to be used in an improved manner for storing the goods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a working fluid for a steam-turbine cycle process, said fluid comprising a working medium, a lubricant and preferably an emulsifier. The working medium is a C1 to C4 alcohol and/or a C3 to C5 ketone, optionally mixed with water. The invention also relates to a device for a steam cycle process, which device contains the working fluid, and to the use of the working fluid in an organic Rankine cycle. The lubricant is a hydrocarbon and the emulsifier is a surface-active substance.

Abstract: A dip coating system having at least one dip-coating tank, which can be filled with a treatment fluid. A conveying system displaces the articles to the dip-coating tank, into the interior of the dip-coating tank, out of the dip-coating tank, and away therefrom. This conveying system has at least one trolley which has a fastening device for the article, which can be rotated around an axis of rotation. The trolley is drawn by at least one driven traction chain extending parallel to its movement direction. A rotating device having at least one sprocket or gear wheel that can be connected to the fastening device in a rotation-locking manner, that is arranged coaxial to the rotational axis of the fastening device, and at least one rotation chain or rotation gear rack, which extends parallel to the movement direction of the trolley, with which the sprocket or gear wheel cams.

Abstract: A dialysis machine that includes a valve member having a deformable area configured to deform outwardly away when pressurized fluid is introduced into the valve member. The valve member is configured so that, when a dialysis fluid cassette is disposed in a cassette compartment of the dialysis machine and pressurized fluid is introduced into the valve member, the deformable area obstructs a fluid channel of the dialysis fluid cassette to control dialysis fluid flow therethrough.

Abstract: ‘Fuji VW’ apple is a ‘Fuji’ sport notable for its fruit, which is fully colored well before harvest, and has a distinctive solid purple-red overcolor. ‘Fuji VW’ can be harvested in a single picking.

Abstract: A device for performing at least one medical function on a user is proposed. The device has at least one medical functional element that is designed to perform the medical function. The medical function is selected from a diagnostic, a therapeutic and a surgical function. The device has at least one evaluation and control part that comprises at least one actuation component for controlling the medical function. The evaluation and control part has at least one casing and at least one battery receptacle. The battery receptacle comprises at least one electrical energy reservoir, more particularly at least one battery. The battery receptacle is designed to be opened irreversibly by the user for removing the energy reservoir.

Abstract: A circuit (11) for controlling slew rate of a high-side switching element (6) in a load switch (5) is described. The circuit includes a variable current source (20) for setting a slew rate. The circuit also includes an amplifier (15) comprising a first input coupled to a fixed voltage source (19), a second input coupled to the variable current source and an output (18) for a drive signal. A feedback path (26) from an input terminal (13), connected or connectable to an output (14) of the switching element, to the second input of the amplifier, includes a series voltage-differentiating element, such as a capacitor (27).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method the assessing the controllability of a vehicle by a driver in a risky or problematic situation. In order to carry out assessment of the controllability of a vehicle early, the following steps are provided: a. modelling the drive train and the movement dynamics of the vehicle, b. modelling situation conditions and environmental conditions, c. selecting a risky or problematic situation, d. selecting a driver capability type, e. modelling the driver's reaction as a function of the selected driver capability type. f. simulating the dynamic vehicle behaviour in the longitudinal and transverse directions of a planned trajectory on the basis of the drive train model and movement dynamics model for the predefined situation and environmental conditions when the selected risky or problematic situation occurs, g.

Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to a method for operating an elastography device (10), wherein an excitation unit (20) generates mechanical vibration patterns for generating mechanical tissue movements in human or animal tissue, and an image recording device (30) generates images of the tissue during the tissue movements. According to the invention, it is provided that for initiating the respective next mechanical vibration pattern, a respective trigger signal (T) is fed into a trigger signal terminal (20a) of the excitation unit (20), and for configuring the excitation unit (20), configuration signals (K) are fed into the same trigger signal terminal (20a) of the excitation unit (20).

Abstract: An automatic apparatus for obtaining and analyzing a blood sample contains a supply of lancets and test strips, which are located alternately on a carrier band. A lancet or alternatively a test strip may be clamped on a holder, which is mounted so it is movable. The movement controller of the holder comprises a three-dimensional control curve and a guide element, which engages at different depths in the control curve as a function of its relative position. The control curve comprises two guide paths, which run on different parallel planes. The contour of the first guide path determines the movement path of the lancet and the contour of the second guide path determines the movement path of the test strip. The test strip executes a transverse offset perpendicular to the puncture axis of the lancet.
