Abstract: In a cooker it is undesirable that a given power outlet (1) and a given heating element (5) are energized at the same time. Instead of letting power supplied to the heating element (5) switch off the power outlet, the insertion of a plug (3) in the power outlet is used to switch off the heating element (5).

Abstract: A filter bag (1) for a filter device includes a tubular, flexible, air-penetrable filter body (6) provided with a suspension arrangement at an unfolded end thereof. The suspension arrangement includes a rigid ring element (7) with outwardly protruding members 10 annularly secured to the unfolded end of the filter body. The ring element (7) is arranged at least partially at an interior part of the filter body (6). Also a filter device including a housing with a dust chamber (4) and a clean-air chamber (5) that are separated by an partition wall (3) suspending at least one filter bag (1) as described above that extends through an opening (2) provided in the partition wall (3) with a main part of the filter body (6) located in the dust chamber (4). The ring element (7) of the filter bag (1) extends at least partially into the opening (2) in the partition wall (3).

Abstract: Some embodiments of a medical infusion pump system include a pump device having a cap device that mates with a pump housing to retain a medicine cartridge therein. In addition to retaining the medicine cartridge in the pump housing, the cap device may perform a number of preparatory functions or safety functions. In addition or in the alternative, some embodiments of the pump device may include a drive system that advances a piston rod to dispense medicine to the patient in a safe and energy efficient manner.

Abstract: Residual oil supercritical extraction (ROSE) 10 and integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power systems 70, 114 are cooperatively integrated. High-level heat from the IGCC is used via a heat transfer fluid 84 for high level process heating requirements in the ROSE unit. This can eliminate the fired heater normally required in the ROSE unit, and reduces the size of the gasifier 62 waste heat boiler 72 and/or the high-pressure steam coil 134 and steam turbine generator 144 in the IGCC.

Abstract: A filter for filtering a particle-containing medium and having nozzles includes a housing having an inlet opening and an outlet opening for the cleaning fluid, the openings forming between them a passage defined by a wall, a valve body having a valve head and a valve rod, the valve rod being arranged to be moved in the interior of the passage between a first end position and a second end position to control the flow of the cleaning fluid toward the partition plate and/or the filter devices, the outlet opening forming a valve seat adapted to cooperate with the valve head in the first position to prevent outflow of the cleaning fluid, and a spring for generating a bias of the valve body in a direction toward the first end position.

Abstract: Cooking ranges using heating by eddy currents caused by induction of high frequency energy are known, but they have losses caused by leakage fields. The invention provides heating unit in which the magnet coils are integrated into magnetic circuit where the field is collected due to the disposition of the core. A preferred embodiment utilizes magnetic concrete for core parts with chambers for the coils. There may advantageously be cast a covering layer which is thin and wear resistant but still strong, because it is everywhere supported by the material.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus for controlling an electrical heating element to control a cooking temperature of a cooking pot and contents therein.
