Abstract: Novel blends useful for use in manufacturing petfood products are disclosed. These novel blends can be used to manufacture petfood products which have physical integrity. They are also used to manufacture petfood products that are palatable to pets and with acceptable texture and/or smell to pet owners. The blends can be utilised using existing equipment and techniques. Also described are novel petfood products manufactured using the blends.

Abstract: A direct clamp terminal for connecting a conductor in the form of a flexible stranded conductor includes a housing with a chamber and an insertion conduit for inserting the conductor into the chamber. A bus bar or a clamping cage is provided in the housing and a clamping spring is located in the chamber and acts as a compression spring for securing the electrical conductor to the bus bar or the clamping cage in the area of a clamping point. The clamping spring has a clamping limb that can be pivoted about a pivoting axis and that can be shifted from a detent mode in which it is locked in a detent position into a clamping mode in which it is released from the detent mode and presses the electrical conductor against the bus bar or the clamping cage. The clamping limb can be released from the detent mode using two different shifting devices.

Abstract: The present application relates to a tracking arrangement for the tracking of a material defect in a sheet material, such as a container material or a product-packaging material. The tracking arrangement may comprise a defect sensor, which is configured to detect a material defect in a sheet material moving thereby or therethrough. The tracking arrangement may also comprise a first structure sensor, which is configured to detect at least one inherent structural feature of the sheet material itself in the region of the material defect, as well as a control arrangement, which is configured to receive data from said first structure sensor.

Abstract: A transmission for a motor vehicle includes a hydraulic transmission control unit, a transmission housing, an oil pan mounted onto the transmission housing, and a power electronics unit which acts as a power converter for an electric machine and is supported on the transmission housing and/or the oil pan. The hydraulic transmission control unit and the power electronics unit are at least partially arranged next to each other tangentially and/or axially relative to a transmission central axis.

Abstract: A technique for storing softbits of messages received according to a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) protocol is disclosed. As to a method aspect of the technique, a first storage (102) and a second storage (104) are provided. The first storage and a second storage include a plurality of memory segments (103) allocatable to HARQ processes. A first message related to a first HARQ process is received. The first message is protected by a channel code of the HARQ protocol and represented by softbits. The softbits of the first message are stored in a first segment of the first storage. The first segment is allocated to the first HARQ process. The first storage is accessible by a channel decoding unit (110) for decoding the channel code. If a number of allocated segments in the first storage, the decoding of which has not been yet completed, exceeds a threshold, the allocation for the first HARQ process is changed from the first segment in the first storage to a second segment in the second storage.

Abstract: An inspection device for inspecting screw-closures on bottles includes a rotationally-symmetric lens disposed above a bottle's screw-closure and having a convex portion and a flat aspheric portion, a first lighting-unit for illuminating the screw-closure, and a camera located above the lens and connected to an image processor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, with a locking mechanism consisting of a rotary latch and a pawl, wherein, in the closed state of the locking mechanism, the pawl bears with the locking contour thereof against a latching contour of the rotary latch, wherein the locking contour is formed in two parts with a retaining contour and a rolling contour.

Abstract: A connection housing includes a connection housing rear wall, at least one open area, and at least one connection device for a conductor. The connection device preferably has at least individual conductor connections. Each individual conductor connection has a metal contact element, a spring support which is made of a non-conductive material such as synthetic plastic, and includes a base wall and a clamping spring. The spring support is inserted into the open area such that the base wall lies parallel to the rear wall of the connection housing at a distance therefrom. The base wall forms a guide for conductors to be inserted, and the base wall completely or partly closes the housing towards the outside in the region of the open area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door lock or flap lock comprising a locking mechanism that consists of a latch (1) and at least one pawl (2) for locking the latch (1). The locking surface of the pawl is so narrow that even slight pivoting movements are sufficient to unlock a locked locking mechanism, thus allowing for a reduction in volume and weight.

Abstract: A plug-in connector includes a housing containing at least two chambers into each of which a plug-in contact that can be connected to a conductor is inserted. The plug-in contact is arranged in an insert which includes a conductor receptacle by which the plug-in contact can be connected to a particular conductor without a tool. An insert is inserted into each of the chambers.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the teachings herein, a wireless device operating in a wireless communication network determines the difference in signal arrival times with respect to first and second cells, and the device and/or the involved wireless communication network uses the difference to control one or more aspects of Carrier Aggregation, CA, operation for the wireless device. For example, there may be a maximum timing difference defined for the wireless device, e.g., as a function of its inherent capabilities, and the wireless device may evaluate the timing difference of a second cell that is a candidate of aggregation into its CA configuration, or that may be a candidate for activation as a serving cell within a CA configuration, with respect to a first cell that is already in use as a serving cell for the wireless device.
