Abstract: A device for holding hose clamps in a predetermined position, wherein the hose clamps each have a clamping part projecting radially away from a circumference of the hose clamps and wherein the clamping part has a projection extending in the circumferential direction, has a rail having a longitudinal slot for receiving the clamping part of the hose clamps via an open end of the longitudinal slot. The longitudinal slot has an edge configured to support the projection. The rail is a tube having an inner side projecting inwardly into a corner formed between the projection and an outer end section of the clamping part adjoining the projection.

Abstract: A processing apparatus for video and or audio signals comprises a first module having a controller coupled to a signal processor. The signal processor has a signal processing characteristic selected from a plurality signal processing characteristics stored in a non-volatile memory. A second module is coupled to the first module and has a specific input output signal coupling characteristic. The controller determines the input output signal coupling characteristic of the second module and in accordance therewith selects from the plurality signal processing characteristics stored in said non-volatile memory a signal processing characteristic for the signal processor.

Abstract: An axial connector for axially connecting two pipe-shaped components, wherein the two pipe-shaped components have end portions with radial flanges, has a tightenable connecting device engaging the two flanges positive-lockingly and loading the two flanges in a direction toward one another. A thermally highly loadable sealing device is arranged between the flanges. The connecting device has at least one sheet metal strap of hard-elastic material extending over at least a significant portion of a circumference of the flanges and having axial outer edges provided with teeth. The teeth are turned inwardly by more than 90° and have radially inwardly projecting ends. The teeth, when the connecting device is tightened about the flanges, are supported with prestress with their radially inwardly projecting ends on sides of the flanges facing away from one another and load the sealing device axially.
