Abstract: A device assembly for controlling an integrated continuous pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical manufacturing process including a first process equipment for performing a first process step; a second process equipment for performing a second process step subsequent to the first process step; a single measuring unit for measurement of a set of signals of a liquid process medium at a single location, the measured signals depending on first and second parameters; and an evaluation and control unit for evaluating the measured signals to determine values of the first and second parameters. The evaluation and control unit determines first and second corrective feedback based on the values of the first and second parameters, respectively. The evaluation and control unit controls the first process step by providing the first corrective feedback to the first process equipment and controls the second process step by providing the second corrective feedback to the second process equipment.

Abstract: In order to find a parked vehicle with the aid of a separate navigation device which is independent of the vehicle, a close-range communication connection is established between a vehicle device permanently located in the vehicle and a portable storage device. The communication connection is maintained as long as the storage device is at close range. Collapse of the close-range communication connection between the storage device and the vehicle device is used as the criterion for storing current position data of the vehicle. A navigation device which is in the form of a separate device and contains navigation software and suitable electronic navigation maps, reads out the current position data and is used for navigation to the parked vehicle.

Abstract: A solid propellant gas generator releases a flowing mixture from a solid propellant, separated from a surrounding area, into the surrounding area. The solid propellant gas generator includes a cooling system for cooling the flowing mixture. The cooling system has at least one feed device for feeding a gas from the surrounding area to the flowing mixture in order to mix the flowing mixture prior to entering into the surrounding area with the gas from the surrounding area.
