  • Patent number: 10960421
    Abstract: A feed center for powder coating material includes a hopper, an extraction duct, and a control valve. The hopper is in fluid communication with a fluidizing pressure source. The extraction duct is in fluid communication with at least one suction source. The control valve connects the extraction duct with an extraction port of the hopper. The control valve is operable between a first position for applying suction from the at least one suction source to the hopper, and a second position providing an exterior opening in at least one of the control valve and the first extraction duct for exhausting pressurized fluid from the hopper and/or collecting at least some of the air and powder that is exhausted from the powder.

  • Patent number: 9593951
    Abstract: A method for increasing the reliability of sensor systems for determining the position of flying objects. Since the position determination is very decisive for the execution of planned missions, it is especially important to increase the reliability of such systems. The star sensors of the star systems are preferably structured identically and connected to each other by a bidirectional bus system. Due to the presence of several identical modules in the sensor system, there is an inner redundancy that can be utilized via the bus system. The bus system allows the transmission of signals of different data processing levels, so that the transmission of the data of the data processing levels can be adapted to modules that may have failed.

  • Publication number: 20150310276
    Abstract: A method for the automatic correction of alignment errors in individual star trackers (R, S) of star tracker systems (1) is provided. The correction of orientation errors is necessary whenever it is not possible to mount the star trackers of the star tracker system on a shared stable block of a platform. Orientation errors can arise due to installation deviations and deformation of the platform, for instance, caused by mechanical loads or temperature fluctuations. A star tracker (R) that is attached in a very stable manner to the platform serves as the reference tracker. The orientation that it measures constitutes the reference information. An error signal and an orientation matrix are derived from the measured orientation of the other star trackers, thereby effectuating the correction of the coordinate systems of the star trackers that are to be corrected, and thus of their measured quantities.

  • Patent number: 4613532
    Abstract: Polyamide plastic fuel lines which are dimensionally stable and resistant to fuels, alcoholic fuels and alcohols as fuels are prepared from aliphatic high molecular weight polyamides. The fuel lines are prepared by extruding a hot melt of the polyamide, sizing through a die having a diameter in excess of the given diameter of the fuel line, cooling the fuel line in a cooling bath, removing the fuel line from the bath and sizing the fuel line adiabatically through a disk having a diameter less than the given diameter.
