Abstract: A cleaning process is provided for a test apparatus that has a switch, external connections and internal volumes that can come into contact with a fluid from a filter to be tested or a container to be tested. The cleaning process includes selecting one or more internal volumes to be cleaned, cleaning the selected internal volumes with a cleaning fluid by a corresponding switching of the switch, at least partially draining the cleaning fluid left in the selected internal volumes after cleaning, and flushing the selected internal volumes with a flushing fluid different from the cleaning fluid. Also provided are a computer program product for performing the cleaning process, a cleaning apparatus, and a test apparatus for testing filters and containers.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for carrying out integrity tests of at least one filter element, arranged within a filter housing, with porous filter materials. Sensors are provided for measuring the sound generated by a test fluid when it flows through the filter element. The method includes applying a test fluid to a first side of the filter materials of the filter element while maintaining a constant fluid pressure, measuring the body-borne sound and/or the vibrations caused by test fluid flowing through the filter materials by sensors, and comparing the body-borne sound and/or the vibrations with the body-borne sound and/or the vibrations of an integral, identical filter element, measured under identical conditions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing pipe sleeves made of mineral wool for insulating pipelines or for reducing the sound level in pipeline systems, comprising the following steps: providing a nonwoven web (11) made of mineral wool which is provided with an uncured binder, winding up the nonwoven web (11) on a winding mandrel (2) of a winder, curing the binder. Here, at least one reinforcing layer (12, 13) is provided before the nonwoven web (11) runs into the winder, in such a way that during the winding the said reinforcing layer becomes a constituent part of the pipe sleeve produced as a result.

Abstract: The invention relates to a support strip for a composite panel, wherein the composite panel has at least two cover layers and at least one core layer arranged between the cover layers, wherein the support strip can be fastened to at least one of the narrow sides of the composite panel, and wherein a cover strip can be fastened on the support strip. The support strip is formed as an at least partially perforated support strip having at least one perforation consisting of a multitude of holes.

Abstract: The present invention for the first time proposes an anorganic mixed fiber product having good insulation properties and good fire stability, wherein the anorganic mixed fiber product comprises both glass fibers (23) and anorganic fiber flakes (25), and wherein the anorganic fiber flakes (25) are disposed substantially homogeneously between the glass fibers (23). The present invention moreover proposes a method for manufacturing the anorganic mixed fiber product of the invention, as well as an apparatus (1) for implementing the method of the invention. The invention further proposes a product manufactured of the anorganic mixed fiber product of the invention and an apparatus for carrying out the method in accordance with the invention.

Abstract: A microphone array-based audio system that supports representations of auditory scenes using second-order (or higher) harmonic expansions based on the audio signals generated by the microphone array. In one embodiment, a plurality of audio sensors are mounted on the surface of an acoustically rigid sphere. The number and location of the audio sensors on the sphere are designed to enable the audio signals generated by those sensors to be decomposed into a set of eigenbeams having at least one eigenbeam of order two (or higher). Beamforming (e.g., steering, weighting, and summing) can then be applied to the resulting eigenbeam outputs to generate one or more channels of audio signals that can be utilized to accurately render an auditory scene. Alternative embodiments include using shapes other than spheres, using acoustically soft spheres and/or positioning audio sensors in two or more concentric patterns.

Abstract: An on-chip event timer apparatus including a hardware timer and a debug interface. The hardware timer includes at least an up-counter for counting clocks of a clock signal, a match register for storing a programmable count value, and a comparator for monitoring whether the up-counter's count value matches the count value of the match register. The debug interface includes enable control unit for enabling the up-counter's operation based on a pre-defined relationship between a state of an enabled signal supplied to said up-counter and an internal state of the hardware timer. Additionally, the debug interface may comprise a clock divider connected to the enable control unit to reduce the clock's frequency in accordance with a pre-programmed divider value. Based on the received clock with the reduced clock frequency, the enable control unit adapts the up-counter's processing speed to the reduced clock frequency.

Abstract: A thermoplastic trim strip is mounted to an edge face of a wood-core furniture panel by applying a face of the trim strip directly to the edge face and bonding the trim-strip face directly to the panel-edge face. The panel has outer faces terminating at the edge face and the trim strip is provided with edge lips that project past the broad faces when the strip is bonded to the edge face. The edge lips are melted over onto the panel faces and trimmed off where they project past the panel faces. A thin layer of glue can be applied between a face of the trim strip and the edge face and the trim-strip face is bonded to the panel-edge face by means of the glue layer.
