Abstract: A laboratory distribution system is presented. The system comprises diagnostic laboratory container carriers and a conveyor. The conveyor comprises an endless drive defining a closed-loop conveyor pathway. The system comprises supporting elements attached to the endless drive. The supporting elements receive a container carrier and transport the container carrier in an upright position along a pathway section. The supporting elements are mounted pivotally about a horizontal pivot axis to the drive and structured such that a center of gravity of the supporting element with or without an empty or loaded container carrier is arranged below and vertically aligned with the pivot axis when the supporting element is in an upright position such that each supporting element is free to pivot about the associated pivot axis under the effect of gravitational forces acting on the supporting element for maintaining the supporting elements in an upright position while travelling along the path.

Abstract: A measuring system serves for measuring a broadband measurement signal. It contains a receiving unit for receiving the measurement signal and a processing unit for processing the measurement signal. The receiving unit is configured to receive the measurement signal with a broad bandwidth within a first measurement run. The processing unit is configured to recover information from the measurement signal received with a broad bandwidth. In turn, with the assistance of the information, the receiving unit is configured to receive at least one first frequency subdivision of the measurement signal with a narrow bandwidth within a second measurement run.

Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor for recognizing object edges of objects moved relative to the sensor, has a light transmission device with at least one light transmitter, in particular at least two light transmitters, for generating a respective collimated or focused transmitted light beam. The sensor has at least two light receivers for imaging a light spot produced by the respective transmitted light beam on an object, wherein the two light receivers are arranged on two mutually opposite sides of the light transmission device, and has an evaluation unit which is designed to compare the two reception intensities of the two images of the respective light spot taken by the two light receivers with one another and to evaluate the result of the respective comparison to recognize an object edge.

Abstract: An aircraft or spacecraft casing includes a composite shell made of first rod elements or sandwich core elements, and first skin elements connected to the first rod elements or sandwich core elements such that all exterior loads are received jointly thereby. The shell has an opening receiving a rod supporting structure of at least two groups of second rod elements. Second rod elements of a first group are arranged parallel to each other, and second rod elements of different groups are arranged non-parallel to each other. The second rod elements are connected to the composite shell at the edge of the opening and a second skin element is arranged in each partial opening delimited by second rod elements such that free edges of the second skin element are free of bending moments and tangential forces, and exterior loads are redirected solely from the second rod elements into the composite shell.

Abstract: A harness making device having at least two receiving sections, a pivoting gripping device, a cable preparation device, and a cable transfer. Each receiving section is utilized for receiving a connection mechanism. The connection mechanism, in each case, connects an end portion of a cable to a connector. The gripping device is located in a fixed position between the at least two receiving sections, and is constructed to guide the end portion of the cable to the connection mechanism. Additionally, a cable preparation device is positioned to prepare a cable loop with the cable. The cable transfer, which is constructed to receive the at least one cable from the cable preparation device, positions the cable to the pivoting gripping device.
