Abstract: A conveying device, apparatus and method for continuously conveying poultry bodies or parts oriented into different processing positions in a conveying direction. A continuous conveyor, which is provided with receiving elements for holding the poultry bodies revolves in a conveying plane and forms a conveying path. The receiving elements each of which include a saddle element to receive one of the poultry bodies, are arranged on a base element to be pivotable about an axis of rotation lying perpendicular to the conveying direction. The conveying plane is arranged inclined relative to the horizontal by an angle of inclination ? greater than 0° and less than 90°, and the base elements are each arranged on the continuous conveyor by angled elements with an angle of extension ? less than 180° and greater than 90°.

Abstract: A holding apparatus is configured and adapted for holding eviscerated poultry bodies or parts thereof during processing in a processing apparatus. The holding apparatus includes a supporting body, a fastening body for holding the supporting body and for fastening the holding apparatus to a revolving transport unit of the processing apparatus, and also a clamping device for fixing the poultry body or parts on the supporting body. The supporting body is detachably connected to the fastening body by a fastening element. The fastening element, in the mounted state of the holding apparatus, is accessible from outside. At least one stationary supporting bolt and at least one movable guide bolt are arranged on the fastening body, and the supporting body has corresponding recesses into which the bolts engage. A transport apparatus, a processing apparatus, and a method for maintenance of a holding apparatus, are also provided.

Abstract: An exhaust emission measurement method comprises the steps: —testing a Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle having a combustion engine and an electric motor during a test phase of a predetermined time length; —sampling of exhaust into dilution air; —collecting the diluted exhaust in a diluted exhaust bag, when the combustion engine is operating; —intermittently filling of the bag when a combustion engine of the Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle is operating; —at a certain time before the end of the test phase, changing sampling from intermittent filling to continuous filling of the bag in order to get enough bag volume for an accurate analyzer reading.

Abstract: A semiconductor component on mutually opposing sides is joined in a first and a second bonded connection with a heat conducting body each. The heat-conducting bodies are joined in a third bonded connection in the region of the sections thereof extending away from the semiconductor element. A spacer, which with regard to the third connection, is disposed on the opposite side of the semiconductor component between the heat-conducting bodies, in conjunction with the joining zone thickness of the third connection being greater than that of the first or the second joining zone to ensure that defined joining zone thicknesses in the bonded connection is maintained during the joining process. The third connection can be used for at least partial heat transfer of the waste heat of the semiconductor component, particularly to a heat sink that is connected to the heat transfer device.

Abstract: A device for processing flesh includes at least one transport belt, at least one element for position detection as well as at least one separating device and at least one control device, wherein the separating device communicates via the control device with the element for position detection which provides information to be recorded and processed into geometric data of the flesh and image data of the flesh so that separating cuts based on the geometric and image data can be made with the separating device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof frame arrangement of motor vehicles, having a front, a rear and two lateral roof frames and having a supporting device for a motor vehicle tailgate, said supporting device comprising a tailgate hinge and at least one gas-filled compression spring, wherein at least the lateral roof frame contains an inner shell and an outer shell connected to the latter, and wherein a hollow space is formed between the inner shell and outer shell. In order to provide a roof frame arrangement having increased stiffness, which can be produced in a simple and space-saving manner and with as few manufacturing tolerances as possible and in which a relatively great outlay on leakproofness is not required, it is proposed to form a rear end region of the lateral roof frame as a single-piece, circumferentially closed hollow profile which encloses the hollow space there and forms a receiving housing in which the hinge and/or the gas-filled compression spring is/are fitted.

Abstract: In a method for mechanically gaining flesh from poultry bodies and an apparatus for carrying out this method, a series of tools are employed that are arranged along a conveyor (1) which has supporting elements (4) for supporting poultry bodies (58). These tools are formed with the aim of achieving a high quality end product at a high yield that is appealing to the eye. The processing of the poultry bodies (58), which are conveyed and securely held by the supporting elements (4), is performed sequentially using controllable scraping elements, stop elements, scraping blades, knives and strippers which loosen the connection between the skeleton (69) and the fillet flesh in a specific order.
