Abstract: A method of safely controlling a compaction machine, specifically a method of safely controlling a vibratory compaction machine includes at least one vibrating roller connected to at least one electric movement drive of the machine and at least one electric vibration drive, a central machine control unit, a battery system and a control unit of the battery system, according to which the central control unit of the machine overrides the control unit of the battery system. A compaction machine whose central control unit of the machine is data-connected to a control unit of the battery system which is hardwired to at least one control convertor of at least one electric drive of the machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter system comprising a housing and a filter element being accommodated in the housing, wherein a safety assembly is arranged inside the housing, having a blocking mode and an unblocking mode depending on an axial and/or rotational position of the filter element in the housing and being configured to provide access of a sealing structure of the filter element to a sealing area of a housing cover in the unblocking mode and to block access of the sealing structure to the sealing area in the blocking mode when the sealing structure of the filter element is moved towards the sealing area. The invention further relates to a safety assembly for a filter system and a filter element.

Abstract: An intermediate cover of a filter housing of a filter for purifying liquids can be mounted in the filter housing for separating a filter receiving space for a filter insert from a centrifuge receiving space for a centrifuge separator by a rotary and/or insertion movement relative to an imaginary axis. The intermediate cover is provided with a portion of at least one clean fluid channel forming a fluidic connection between a clean fluid side of the filter insert and a fluid outlet of the filter housing for a purified clean fluid. The filter insert has a connecting device arranged at an axial end face and connectable to the intermediate cover. An outlet opening for purified clean fluid is arranged at the axial end face and corresponds with an inlet opening of the clean fluid channel of the intermediate cover. The outlet opening at least partially forms the connecting device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are automated systems and methods utilizing a plurality of specialized RFID tags incorporated within various tire manufacturing components (e.g., mold segments, mold container, bladder plates, tire presses, and extrusion dies) that are able to readily track tire manufacture and identify defect source(s) while concurrently being configured to the harsh processes and temperatures of tire manufacture.

Abstract: Surgical articles, such as sponges, are provided in a pack which contains individual surgical articles having UHF RFID or other electronic labels which provide both (a) unique identification information for each article as well as (b) unique identification information for all articles in the pack. Prior to the surgical procedure, the labels are scanned and the identification information for all articles in the pack uploaded to a processor to create a list of available individual surgical articles. At the end of the surgical procedure, the surgical articles are collected and the electronic labels read and compared to the initial list to determine if there are any unaccounted individual surgical articles. The UHF RFID tag may then be used to determine a location of the unaccounted article outside the patient’s body.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of characterizing a person's hand geometry includes inputting a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud of the person's hand into a clustered dynamic graph convolutional neural network (clustered DGCNN), and processing the 3D point cloud, with a shared network portion of the clustered DGCNN, to create a processed version of the three-dimensional point cloud. The method further includes, with a shape regression network portion of the clustered DGCNN, assigning each respective feature point in the processed version of the 3D point cloud to a corresponding one of a plurality of pre-defined clusters, and applying one or more transformations to the feature points assigned to each respective cluster to produce per cluster shape parameters that represent shapes associated with portions of the person's hand that correspond to associated ones of the pre-defined clusters. Each pre-defined cluster corresponds to a unique part of a hand's surface.

Abstract: A discharge control device for a filter system and a filter system for filtering a media flow of a first and a second medium is provided with a collecting chamber that collects the second medium separated from the media flow. A sensor arrangement with a first sensor unit, a second sensor unit, a first shut-off valve having a closure body, and a second shut-off valve is provided. The first sensor unit is operatively connected to the first shut-off valve. The first sensor unit has a float that purely mechanically actuates the closure body of the first shut-off valve. The second shut-off valve is arranged in series in flow communication with the first shut-off valve. The second shut-off valve has an electromagnetically actuatable valve controlled by the second sensor unit as a function of a fill level of second medium in the collecting chamber.
