Abstract: The disclosure relates to monitoring a state of a physical passenger transport system. In an aspect, monitoring includes use of an updated digital double dataset that reproduces characterizing properties of components of the physical passenger transport system in an actual configuration of the passenger transport system after assembly and installation thereof in a building, in a machine-processable manner. At least one detection device is arranged in the physical passenger transport system, which detects a load profile which is transmitted to the updated digital double dataset. A set of rules is used to convert the load profile into modified characterizing properties of virtual components. Through the monitoring, changes and change trends on the components are tracked and evaluated using the updated digital double dataset by calculations and/or by static and dynamic simulations.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a rotor surrounded by a stator. An external jacket surrounds the stator and extends between front and rear end parts, thereby delimiting an inner region which accommodates the rotor, and an outer region radially surrounding the inner region. The inner and outer regions communicate with one another via recesses to enable air to flow out of the inner region and into the outer region and from there to flow back into the inner region. Front and rear closing elements are attached to the front and rear end parts on their side facing away from the external jacket, thereby enclosing a front cavity and a rear cavity. Axial tubes are fastened in the front and rear end parts such that the axial tubes extend from the front end part across the outer region to the rear end part and open in the front and rear cavities.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a cannula for use with a blood circulation device may include the cannula having a longitudinal axis and proximal and distal directions along the longitudinal axis. The cannula may also include a proximal portion having a wall extending around the longitudinal axis and having outer and inner faces, the inner face may define a bore, the proximal portion may have dimensions transverse to the longitudinal axis, and the dimensions may be constant in the proximal and distal directions. Also, the cannula may have a distal portion having an outer face, continuous with the outer face of the proximal portion. The outer face of the distal portion may extend around and along the longitudinal axis, and the outer face of the distal portion may taper distally toward the longitudinal axis. The distal portion may include at least two openings extending from the outer face of the distal portion, which may merge with one another within the distal portion.

Abstract: In a rigid axle assembly, a trumpet housing has a longitudinal axis (Z) and comprises a first portion (9a) extending along the axis with a substantially constant profile, and a second portion (9b) attached to the first portion and with a profile that increases in distance from the axis as the distance from the first portion increases. The housing further comprises, at a position (P2) adjacent the junction (P0) of the first and second portions, an attachment area shaped to receive a strain sensor (30) for determination of a wheel load.

Abstract: A rotary seal arrangement has a rotatable component (2) supported within a machine component (3), the machine component (3) forming a housing structure for a sealing means (23) which acts to seal off a high-pressure area (10) between the components (2,3) to allow the passage of high pressure fluid therebetween. The seal arrangement includes a holding element (30) for mounting in the machine component (3) to support spaced sealing members (23) therein to define said high pressure area (10) therebetween. The arrangement is particularly suitable for use where the rotatable component (2) is formed as a rotatable shaft and the holding element (30) and sealing members (23) are arranged around the shaft such as, for example, in a vehicle tyre pressure changing system for use on an agricultural tractor.
