Abstract: The disclosure relates to a blower means or apparatus for a road making machine which is present in the form of a road finishing machine or a charger vehicle for a road finishing machine. The blower means comprises a blower unit for creating an airflow, and an air discharge unit connected with the blower unit, which is designed to form an air barrier from the airflow created by means of the blower unit at a control station of the road making machine for an operator positioned therein. The blower means is designed as a modular attachment apparatus configured to be removably attached to the control station of the road making machine. The disclosure furthermore relates to the use of a blower means designed as a modular attachment apparatus at a road making machine.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fresh air means or device for a driver control panel or for an external control console of a road making machine which is configured in the form of a road finishing machine or a charger vehicle for a road finishing machine. The fresh air means comprises at least one blower unit for generating an air flow, at least one filter unit for filtering the air flow formed by means of the blower unit, and an air discharge unit including at least one air outlet opening for the filtered air flow. Furthermore, fresh air means is designed as a modular attachment apparatus configured to be removably attached to the driver control panel or to the external control console.

Abstract: Insulating means to be used with a screed for a road finishing machine comprises at least one insulating element and one connection element for a releasable connection with the screed. The insulating element is designed to cause, in a state of the insulating means connected with the screed, a reduced emission of heat from the screed through the insulating element.

Abstract: A method for heating a screed of a road finishing machine, the method including obtaining a predetermined time for putting the screed into operation; obtaining a start time for beginning the heating of the screed based on the predetermined time; and automatically heating the screed by energy supply to a heating means of the screed from an energy source from the start time.

Abstract: A road construction machine in the form of a road paver or a feeder vehicle for conveying paving material to a road paver, the road construction machine being self-propelled and having a primary drive source, a hopper, at least one working unit and at least one electric consumer for heating the working unit, the road construction machine having an energy supply system with at least one electrical energy storage which can be charged by means of electric current generated outside the road construction machine and is present on the road construction machine as an internal power source for direct current supply to the electric consumer. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to the use of such an energy storage for direct current supply to an electric consumer of a road construction machine.

Abstract: The disclosure refers to a road construction machine, adapted in particular in the form of a road paver or a feeder vehicle for a road paver. According to the disclosure, the road construction machine comprises a first and/or a second air barrier device adapted to shield a driver and/or an operator of the road construction machine. Furthermore, the disclosure refers to a corresponding method for generating an air flow during operation of a road construction machine in order to shield a driver and/or an operator from vapors and/or aerosols rising during operation of the road construction machine.

Abstract: A remote control holder is provided for a road finisher, in particular for a paving screed of the road finisher. The remote control holder is configured to hold a first remote control and a second remote control, the remote controls comprising control elements for controlling functions of the road finisher. The remote control holder comprises two wings that each have a receiving tray, and each wing is intended to receive a remote control in the receiving tray. The wings are pivotable between a first position, in which the wings are arranged substantially flat next to each other and the remote control holder is open, and a second position, in which the wings are substantially pivoted to each other and the remote control holder is closed.

Abstract: System(s) and method(s) to probe electromagnetic fields at the surface of a solid-state material are provided. The technique combines ultrafast (e.g., less than 10 fs) optical excitation and electron microscopy to generate electronic excitations and image the ensuing electromagnetic fields with nanometer-scale spatial resolution and femtosecond time-scale resolution. In addition, time-of-flight energy analysis facilitates imaging of relaxation a generated electronic excitation. The dynamics of the electromagnetic fields can be probed interferometrically through generation of multi-frame imaging, with inter-frame frequency of the order of a few hundreds of attoseconds, of interference patterns among an electric field associated with an excitation in a sample or device and the electromagnetic field of a probe pulse coherent with an excitation pulse.
