Abstract: An endoscope for laparoscopic surgery, including a shaft with a central axis, a proximal end, a distal end and a first optical beam path with a prism at the distal end of the shaft and having light entrance and exit surfaces, a lens with an optical axis, the lens behind the prism considered from the distal end of the shaft, and beam deflecting optics behind the lens considered from the distal end of the shaft. The light entrance surface is oriented perpendicular to the central axis, and the light exit surface forms a first angle of inclination with a first spatial axis oriented orthogonal to the central axis. To increase the numerical aperture of the lens, the optical axis is arranged perpendicular to the light exit surface of the prism. As a result, the lens has a cross-sectional area that is larger than the light entrance surface of the prism.

Abstract: A method for controlling a supercharging system for an internal combustion engine, the supercharging stage including a compressor and a turbine, and the turbine being settable with the aid of a VTG driving circuit. The method including: detecting an operating state setpoint variable, setting a maximum VTG control criterion for implementing the torque increase by an increase in a boost pressure. The setting of the maximum VTG control criterion comprising: ascertaining a setpoint boost pressure; ascertaining a VTG setpoint position as a function of the setpoint boost pressure; ascertaining an actual exhaust gas back pressure; ascertaining an actual exhaust gas pressure downstream from the turbine; ascertaining a maximum exhaust gas back pressure, taking into account the actual exhaust gas pressure downstream from the turbine; determining the VTG control criterion, based on the difference between the actual exhaust gas back pressure and the maximum exhaust gas back pressure.

Abstract: A method for controlling a turbocharging system with a turbocharging stage for an internal combustion engine, wherein the turbocharging stage comprises a compressor and a turbine and the turbine is adjustable via a VTG control. The method includes: acquiring an operating state target variable; adjusting a maximum VTG control criterion to implement the torque increase by increasing a boost pressure, wherein adjusting the maximum VTG control criterion includes: determining a target boost pressure; determining a VTG target position as a function of the target boost pressure; determining an actual exhaust back pressure; determining a maximum exhaust back pressure; determining the VTG control criterion taking into account the difference between the actual exhaust back pressure and the maximum exhaust back pressure. The VTG control criterion limits the VTG target position such that an accelerated adaptation of an actual boost pressure to the target boost pressure) takes place.

Abstract: For regenerating the sand, which is obtained from sand molds and/or sand cores, which are produced from the sand and soluble glass as a binder and are used in metal casting, the sand obtained from the sand molds and/or sand cores is subjected to a mechanical regeneration stage and a thermal regeneration stage. During or after the mechanical regeneration stage, the obtained sand is mixed with a hardener for soluble glass.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for pushing glass objects from a resting depositing plate to a conveyor belt moving at a uniform speed, characterized by a first electric motor (1) arranged in a stationary manner within a housing (49). The electric motor has a driving connection to a cantilever (4) that is rotatably supported about a vertical axis (8). An accommodating element (9) is located on the cantilever. The accommodating element carries a second electric motor (12), the output shaft of which extends vertically and is connected at the free end thereof to a crank arm (17) in a rotationally fixed manner.

Abstract: An apparatus for pushing hollow glass articles from a depositing plate of an IS glass molding machine onto a belt conveyor comprises a transfer pusher (11), one end of which is rigidly connected to a vertical shaft (10) and the other end of which carries an arrangement of pushing fingers for the glass articles. The shaft (10) is supported in a rotary table (6) and functionally connected to a first rotary drive (13) carried by the rotary table while the rotary plate (6) is mounted on a bell-shaped bearing (24) supported on a console (1) by means of a hollow shaft (22), namely such that it is functionally connected to a second rotary drive (15?). An approximately exponential transfer curve of the pushing fingers that begins at the depositing plate and ends on the belt conveyor and subjects the hollow glass articles to the least possible stress can be realized.
