Abstract: The invention relates to the monitoring of products by means of active radio tags. According to the invention, packagings of products are provided with an active radio tag that detects at least one environmental condition and/or at least one packaging state, and which emits a signal at time intervals, which provides information about a unique identifier and at least one state in which the respective product is found. The signal is picked up by a receiver that extracts the unique identifier and the state information and transmits same together with location information to an external server.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel peptides, namely texenomycins, from Scleroderma texense, a process for their preparation and their use as pharmaceuticals, in particular as antimycotics. The texenomycins according to the present invention are distinguished in particular by the amino acid sequence I in which FS is an oxo fatty acid radical, Aib is aminoisobutyric acid and Arg-ol=argininol.

Abstract: A cheese conveying system has an interface belt centrally trough-shaped along its length and disposed to span between the outlets of two delivery belts and to extend therefrom to the inlet of a collection belt, by means of which cheeses transported from the delivery belts in a lying position roll transversely to the center of the interface belt to accomplish a gentle uncomplicated transfer of the bobbins from the delivery belts to the collection belt. The delivery belts are alternately actuable and the respectively delivery, interface and collecting belts are driven at the same speed.

Abstract: A pneumatic cleaning device (10) for the spinning stations of an open-end spinning machine (1) is disposed on the sliver draw-in arm (22) of a traveling service unit (16) for unitary movement with the draw-in arm between a resting position (I) and an operating position (II). In the operating position (II), two suction nozzles of the cleaning device are positioned in the area of the sliver opening device of a spinning station at which the service unit is positioned. One suction nozzle is pivotable by an electric motor drive acting through a lever linkage arrangement to cover the area below the dirt outlet opening of the sliver opening device.

Abstract: Spinning stations of open-end spinning frames are cleaned from time to time to increase productivity, e.g. each time a sliver can change is made although, if the times between the exchange of two cans are too long, cleaning may be performed at a preset cycle. The sliver must be removed from the spinning station for this purpose. To be able to reintroduce a defined length of the removed sliver into the spinning station at the end of a cleaning operation, the end of the sliver is aspirated from between the draw-in roller and the gripping table of the spinning station by means of an aspiration and blower nozzle and pulled out of the spinning box of the spinning station and, after the cleaning operation, the sliver is introduced into the spinning station by means of the aspiration and blower nozzle. The aspiration nozzle has an insert with bores for causing the tip end of the sliver to assume a particular shape.

Abstract: A device for the in vivo determination of an optical property of the aqueous humor in the anterior chamber of the eye includes a light source to irradiate light along a primary-side light path into the anterior chamber of an eye. A detector is provided, in order to detect light issuing from the anterior chamber along a secondary-side light path. A signal processing unit is provided to determine the optical properties on the basis of the measured signal of the detector. A routine in vivo examination of the aqueous humor of the eye, with minor inconvenience to the patient, can be achieved due to the fact that the device can be easily positioned in front of the eye. The central rays of the primary-side light path and of the secondary-side light path form, with the normals to surface of the cornea bordering the anterior chamber, an angle (.alpha., .beta.) such that the detector detects light reflected from the front interface of the eye lens.

Abstract: A transport system for transporting textile bobbins to winding stations of a textile winder on individual bobbin tube support members having a reciprocating supply conveyor extending along the winding stations for supplying bobbins on tube support members to the winding stations, a plurality of generally parallel winding station conveyors having entrances at the supply conveyor for receiving tube support members reciprocating on the supply conveyor and a plurality of control members disposed for engagement by tube support members, each control member having a first portion normally disposed in the tube support member path for engagement by tube support members and being displaced by the engagement and a second portion adjacent the winding station conveyor entrance normally disposed out of engagement with the tube support members and being connected at the first portion for movement into a position for engaging tube support members reciprocating on the supply conveyor to guide the tube support members past the

Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly for transporting tube support members which each individually support a textile yarn package in an upright disposition thereon. The transporting assembly includes a cyclicly reversing endless belt which transports tube support members to and between a plurality of individual transport paths which each lead through a respective winding station of a textile winding machine. The individual transport paths each comprise a pair of endless belts which automatically draw tube support members onto the individual transport paths from the delivery path when the tube support members are disposed on the delivery path at the transport path at a predetermined height relative to the individual transport path.

Abstract: A transport system for circulating bobbin tube support members from and to a textile winder includes conveyors for conveying bobbin tube support members from and to a textile winder, a plurality of mutually independently controllable accumulating devices disposed intermediate the conveyors for conveying tube support members from and to the textile winder, and an overflow conveyor for conveying loaded support members to the accumulating devices. A position detecting arrangement provides information to a central control device regarding the number and location of tube support members within the transport system and a series of diverting and retaining gates are provided to control the movement of tube support members within the transport system, particularly the delivery of tube support members to and from the accumulating devices depending on the demand of the winder and the speed of the bobbin loading operation.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering cops mounted upright on caddies to the winding heads of an automatic bobbin winding machine assures a sufficient supply of cops to all winding heads along the entire winding machine, even in the case of relatively short cop times, by locating infeed positions for the caddies at spacings along a distributing conveyor common to all winding heads such that a first plurality n.sub.1 of operating winding heads are located to a front side of a first infeed position, a second plurality n.sub.2 of operating winding heads are located to the opposite rear side of the last infeed position, and a third plurality k of operating winding heads are located between such infeed positions, with n.sub.1 .gtoreq.4, n.sub.2 .gtoreq.4 and k.ltoreq.n.sub.1 +n.sub.2 +3. The distributing conveyor belt is driven alternatingly in opposite directions to distribute the cop-mounted caddies.

Abstract: Apparatus for supplying cops mounted upstanding on caddies, peg trays, or other carriers to the winding heads of an automatic bobbin winder has a cop distributing conveyor common to all winding heads, a main cop delivery conveyor parallel to the distributing conveyor, and plural secondary delivery conveyors branching from the main delivery conveyor to the distributing conveyor at infeed positions which are correspondingly spaced along the distributing conveyor. A first infeed position is located, in relation to the direction of travel of the distributing conveyor upstream of a first winding head, while the last infeed position is located upstream of a last group of the winding heads.
