Abstract: A multi-track conveyor for transporting containers includes two transport elements adjacent to one another to form a common transport surface on which the containers stand upright on their container bases. Each transport element has a dedicated electric drive motor. The drive motors are external-rotor motors with an internal stator connected in a torsion-resistant manner to a machine frame and with an external rotor, which forms an offset drive driving the respective transport element. The drive motors of at least two transport elements are coaxial with their motor axles oriented perpendicular to the transport direction. The stators of which are connected via a common support in a rotation-resistant manner to the machine frame.

Abstract: A conveying device for conveying containers in a conveying direction, the containers having bottoms, each of which has a cross-section characterized by a standing-bottom diameter or a smaller and larger standing-bottom diameter. The device has conveyor belts extending along a conveying direction forming a closed loop. The conveyor belts form, with upper-loop lengths thereof, a sub-region of a conveying surface, the upper-loop lengths being disposed adjacent to each other in a rows offset in an axial direction. The containers stand on the upper-loop lengths on their bottoms. The conveyor belts have a width that, for containers having a circular cross-section, is smaller than half the standing-bottom diameter of the smallest container diameter to be conveyed, and, for containers having a non-circular cross-section, is smaller than half a smaller standing-bottom diameter of a smallest container diameter to be conveyed.

Abstract: A helical-ribbon mixer having a rotation-symmetrical inner mixing vessel wall (2), a motor-driven central agitator axis (3) therein, on which, on lateral agitator arms (5), at least one helical ribbon (4) is held close to the vessel wall downwardly sloping with a circular slope (SZ) in a direction of rotation (D), wherein the helical ribbon (4), vectorially combined circularly and radially, has a helical ribbon angle of slope (SN) relative to the horizontal that is greater than a gliding angle (G) on the helical ribbon (4) of a material (M) to be mixed.

Abstract: A method of integrating one or more accessory function modules in telecommunication systems is disclosed, especially digital telephone extension systems, where communication between two user terminals is achieved using time division multiplexing by assigning a pair of time slots through a central exchange, and by preassigning at least one particular time slot which can be accessed to allow communication between the accesory function module or modules and the user terminals.

Abstract: An improved switching apparatus, having group couplers (30) and a loop arrangement (6) including a plurality of single loop lines, for communication of digital signals, particularly PCM signals, each comprising several bits at a fixed transmission rate to or from connection circuits (35, 36) connected to a plurality of group buses (31, 32) on each of which digital signals can be transmitted in parallel in a predetermined number of time compartments in cyclic repetition in pulse frames. The group buses (31, 32) are connectable by way of a respective one of the group couplers (30) to the line segments (25, 26) of a respective main bus associated with one of the main couplers (13, 14) connected to segments (7, 87) of the central loop arrangement (6). The two line segments (25, 26) of each main bus serve to transmit digital signals in different directions.

Abstract: The invention comprises a circuit arrangement for the control of digital signal transmission, particularly PCM-signals, between stations of a time division multiplex telecommunication system, particularly a PCM-time division multiplex telecommunication system, with a central control unit, via a multiplex channel to which every station can be connected and on which every station included in a connection is allocated a transmission pulse with cyclically repeated time slots occurring in successive pulse frames and a reception pulse with cyclically repeated time slots occurring in successive pulse frames, with stations combined in a group of stations jointly connected to a transmission trunk by their transmission outputs and to a reception trunk by their reception inputs, and with all trunks connected to the multiplex line via amplifiers. In this context digital signals are understood to be voice signals and data.
