Patent number: 12434411Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a casting device for producing a potting for a gas exchanger and a method for producing such a potting. Accordingly, a casting device is proposed for producing a potting for a gas exchanger under the influence of a centrifugal force, comprising a distributor comprising an opening and at least one continuous channel and adapted to receive a fluid potting material via the opening and to guide it via the at least one channel. The casting device further comprises a cassette defining an inner cavity for receiving gas exchanger elements and which is fluidly connected to the at least one channel. The distributor comprises at least two distributor components which, in the assembled state of the distributor, define the opening, are connected to one another in a leak-proof manner, and form the at least one channel between adjacent regions.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: October 7, 2025Assignee: Xenios AGInventors: Michael Rau, Lotte Schraven, Sven Filipon, Ralf Rossbroich

Publication number: 20100324824Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting up a mobile machine (1), particularly an automatic concrete pump, a mobile crane or a movable elevating work platform. With such a method, the subsurface (28) of a site is analyzed for the properties and/or load-bearing capacity thereof before the machine (10) is positioned there and/or oriented and supported by means of flarable supporting legs (20, 24) in set-up positions (VR, VL, HR, HL) suitable according to the determined subsurface properties and load-bearing capacity. In order to determine an optimized set-up position for the supporting legs (20, 24), geodata (38) of a geographic environment that includes the site is read via a computer in a data memory (44) using a layer of subsurface data (40) that defines the subsurface properties and load-bearing capacity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2008Publication date: December 23, 2010Applicants: PUTZMEISTER CONCRETE PUMPS GMBH, UNIVERSITÄT STUTTGARTInventors: Stephan Gelies, Juergen Frick, Kurt Rau, Ute Else Margarethe Rau, Andreas Rau, Michael Rau, Christine Rau

Publication number: 20100139792Abstract: A large manipulator, especially a truck-mounted concrete pump, has a boom base that can be arranged on a frame so as to be pivoted about a substantially vertical axis of rotation. The large manipulator has a pendular element, that hangs down as an articulated boom and a control device for controlling the drive units of the axes of articulation and rotation of the articulated boom. The remote control has at least one inclination sensor which is housed in a housing that is detachably fastened on the pendular element. Two inclination sensors are housed in the housing and are bent at an angle of 90° with respect to each other and with respect to an axis that is parallel to the pendular element axis. The housing has a mark indicating the orientation of at least one of the inclination sensors inside the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2008Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: PUTZMEISTER CONCRETE PUMPS GMBHInventors: Kurt Rau, Ute Else Margarethe Rau, Andreas Rau, Michael Rau, Christine Rau

Publication number: 20060091164Abstract: A plastic container includes a squeezable bottle providing a lower main liquid reservoir for storing a cleaning solution, an upper dispensing receptacle for measuring and dispensing a measured quantity of liquid, and a transfer duct communicating a lower portion of the main liquid reservoir with an upper portion of the dispensing receptacle for transferring liquid from the main liquid reservoir to the upper dispensing receptacle. After the main liquid reservoir is filled through an opening at the base of the dispensing receptacle, the opening is closed with an insert equipped with a check valve. This same container is adapted to a single flow or double-flow proportioning container by providing a drop tube which opens the check valve and permits liquid to pass from the main reservoir through a check valve housed in a cap assembly, thence through a metering tip to a delivery tube which is in fluid communication with a proportioning device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2005Publication date: May 4, 2006Applicant: Minuteman International, Inc.Inventor: Michael Rau

Publication number: 20060048331Abstract: A cleaning machine for floors and carpets includes a vacuum pick-up in front of the machine for suctioning loose material and debris off the floor. A microfiber cleaning assembly is mounted beneath the machine for cleaning the floor following the vacuum pick-up. The microfiber cleaning element may be motor driven. A source of solution delivers a controlled amount of solution or water to moisten the microfiber cloth. A vacuum motor provides suction to the forward vacuum pick-up, routes the suctioned air through a filter, and the filtered air is then delivered to an air diffuser to dry any residual moisture behind the microfiber cleaning assembly. The microfiber cleaning assembly may have two offset pads driven by a reciprocating or oscillating drive, or one or two cylindrical rollers for receiving and securing the microfiber fabric in the form of a sleeve.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2005Publication date: March 9, 2006Applicant: MINUTEMAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Michael Rau, Jesse Mondigo, David Holly, Jeffrey Pollack
