Patent number: 11753294Abstract: A retrieval system for a container having a dip tube and designed to hold a liquid, with a retrieval head which can be fastened to the dip tube, so that liquid can be retrieved from or supplied to the container via the dip tube and the retrieval head. The retrieval head has a liquid channel in which the liquid retrieved from or supplied to the container is conducted. An opening is provided in the wall bounding the liquid channel, wherein when the retrieval head is fastened to the dip tube the opening is closed in such a way that it is secured against the entering of gas, and wherein when the retrieval head is unfastened from the dip tube the opening is no longer closed, so that gas enters the liquid channel via the borehole.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: AS Strömungstechnik GmbHInventors: Andreas Szeteli, Tom Mario Fischer

Patent number: 8925380Abstract: A method and an apparatus for determining the quality of a gearing system is described. The method includes the steps of setting a sequence of target angles of rotation of a first gear wheel, measuring for each of the target angles of rotation an output angle of rotation of a second gear wheel, and calculating a plurality of theoretical output angles of rotation. The method also includes obtaining angle of rotation differences between the plurality of output angles of rotation and the plurality of theoretical output angles of rotation, forming a sequence of cumulative values, and determining, based on the sequence, a first amplitude value, a second amplitude value or a third amplitude value.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: TRIMBLE Jena GmbHInventor: Mario Fischer
