Abstract: A hopper railcar includes a plurality of hoppers for carrying material laden material, wherein each hopper has a lower discharge chute formed by converging side sheets and end sheets defining a transverse opening; and pivoted transverse door for each transverse opening for selectively opening and closing and closed by a pivoted door, the pivoted door having a pivot axis perpendicular to a longitudinal length of the railcar, and lateral deflectors on lateral sides of the doors with each of the deflectors having a side face extending above an interior facing surface of the doors upon which laden flows with the door in the open position. A method of retrofitting hopper railcars to include deflectors is also disclosed.

Abstract: A drive arrangement of a working machine includes a differential gear, a first drive unit coupled to a first element of the differential gear, a working machine coupled to a second element of the differential gear, and a second drive unit coupled to a third element of the differential gear. The speed of the second drive unit can be superimposed on a speed that is dependent on the speed of the first drive unit, whereby the first or second drive unit can be driven at a variably adjustable speed. When a switching element is closed, an auxiliary gear stage is load-transmitting and speeds of the first and second drive units are coupled as a function of at least one transmission ratio of the auxiliary gear stage, and when the switching element is open, the auxiliary gear stage is load-free and speeds of the first and second drive units are decoupled.

Abstract: A radio sensor module having a sensor base module having at least one sensor circuit board that has a sensor, and/or having a terminal for connection to a sensor external to the radio sensor module; a process terminal and/or an extended sensor terminal; a housing portion that accommodates the sensor base module and the sensor circuit board; and a radio sensor unit having a structural carrier that carries therein a radio circuit board and an energy store that supplies the radio circuit board with electrical energy. The energy store has an electrical battery and an electrical condenser which are electrically connected in parallel. A modular system is also provided for forming such a radio sensor module.

Abstract: An electrolytic reaction system for generating gaseous hydrogen and oxygen includes a reaction chamber for accommodating an electrolyte as well as an electrode arrangement, which is formed of anodic and cathodic electrodes. Between lateral surfaces of electrodes arranged to be spaced apart from one another, at least one flow channel for the electrolyte is formed, which extends between a first axial end for admitting the electrolyte into the electrode arrangement and a second axial end for discharging the electrolyte out of the electrode arrangement. The at least one flow channel has at least one first flow cross-section and at least one second flow cross-section, wherein the second flow cross-section has a smaller size than the first flow channel, and the comparatively smaller second flow cross-section is formed in a partial section of the at least one flow channel closest to the second axial end of the electrode arrangement.

Abstract: A method of monitoring access authorizations by an access monitoring system by a first method, the data carriers or the mobile electronic devices, on which a valid access authorization or an ID is assigned, are detected and the carriers/devices current positions are determined by trilateration or multilateration. A second imaging method is executed, parallel to the first method, and the current position of all persons presented in the entry area is detected by cameras. All persons, with and without valid access authorization, in the entry area are detected so that an ID map and a people map are created. The ID map corresponds to people who have valid access authorization and the people map corresponds everybody in the entry area. An overlay map is created by matching the ID map with the people map, to identify persons with valid access authorization or ID and the people without valid access authorization.

Abstract: A polymer material (6) is formed from a first polyethylene component (1) having a low density (VLDPE) which is silane-grafted with an organic silane (3) in combination with organic peroxide (4) and is cross-linked through storage in a damp environment and/or in water. The polymer material (6) can be processed into medical instruments under dry conditions prior to cross-linkage. After cross-linkage the medical instruments made from the polymer material (6) exhibit a high degree of transparency, are non-buckling and flexible. The polymer material (6) is produced in an extruder, preferentially in a double-worm extruder.

Abstract: An electronic embossing machine which utilizes a keyboard controlled die head, which die head bears embossing dies. Electronic means is provided which causes the die head to be rotated over the shortest distance to place the keyboard selected character in the embossing position.
