  • Patent number: 10433375
    Abstract: An induction hob has a hob plate, a plurality of induction heating coils arranged under the hob plate and a plurality of sensor coils arranged under the hob plate. The induction heating coils are rectangular, wherein at least two induction heating coils are arranged one behind the other and at least three induction heating coils are arranged one next to the other. Two adjacent induction heating coils form an adjacent region with one another in which the two induction heating coils lie with their adjacent sides. At least one sensor coil is arranged in each adjacent region, wherein precisely a single sensor coil is provided in a spacing direction from the one induction heating coil to the adjacent induction heating coil.

  • Publication number: 20190264593
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring an ammonia slip catalytic converter which is arranged in an exhaust gas after-treatment device of an internal combustion engine, downstream of a catalytic converter arrangement, wherein the method comprises the steps of measuring a nitrogen oxide content in the exhaust gas by means of a sensor upstream of the ammonia slip catalytic converter, detecting a sensor signal of an ammonia-cross-sensitive nitrogen oxide sensor which is arranged downstream of the ammonia slip catalytic converter, and checking whether the ammonia-cross-sensitive nitrogen oxide sensor measures a higher value than the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10342075
    Abstract: An induction heating device including two induction heating coils and a plug-type contact device has a flat coil carrier for the induction heating coils, the plug-type contact device being arranged on the bottom face of the coil carrier with an insertion direction perpendicular to the surface of the coil carrier. The plug-type contact device has, on the bottom face of the coil carrier, a plug housing being movable with a defined movement travel in a plane parallel to the surface of the coil carrier. The plug housing has four receiving chambers being open at the bottom and having a direction of extent parallel to the insertion direction, in each of which a plug-type contact is arranged. A contact-making line runs from the plug-type contact to the induction heating coil.

  • Patent number: 10271386
    Abstract: An induction hob has a hob plate, a plurality of induction heating coils which are arranged below the hob plate, and a plurality of sensor coils which are arranged below the hob plate and above the induction heating coils, and also temperature sensors. The sensor coils and the temperature sensors are arranged on a flexible support and electrical conductors make electrical contact with the sensor coils on the flexible support. The flexible support has a single common connection device for electrical contact to be made.

  • Patent number: 7662279
    Abstract: A filtering device, in particular for fish basins, having a housing (10) encompassing a filter chamber (20) and a filter drum (30), which is rotatably disposed in the filter chamber (20) and is loadable with water to be purified, about which a filter belt (40) is guided along part of its circumference from a dispensing roller (42) to a receiving roller (41) that is driven by a paddle wheel (5) disposed outside the filter chamber (20). The paddles (51) of the filter wheel are activated by unpurified water in such a way that the filter belt (40) is wound from the dispensing roller (42) onto the receiving roller (41).

    Abstract: A filtering device, in particular for fish basins, has a housing (10) encompassing a filter chamber (20) and a filter drum (30), which is rotatably disposed in the filter chamber (20) and is loadable with water to be purified, about which a filter belt (40) is guided along part of its circumference from a dispensing roller (42) to a receiving roller (41) that is driven by a paddle wheel (5) disposed outside the filter chamber (20). The paddles (51) of the filter wheel are activated by unpurified water in such a way that the filter belt (40) is wound from the dispensing roller (42) onto the receiving roller (41). As the filter belt that loops around the filter drum becomes increasingly dirty and the water level in the filter chamber rises as a result, the unpurified water that is delivered by a pump flows over an overflow onto the paddle wheel as a mechanical drive means and places a receiving roller for the dirty filter belt into rotation.

  • Patent number: 5826696
    Abstract: In an apparatus for inspecting small articles, such as in particular tablets, for obtaining a precise lining up of the articles there is a rotationally symmetrical separating body (4) rotatable about a vertical rotation axis (A), which has a substantially conical feed section (6) and a section (7, 8) for orienting and/or separating the articles (G) surrounded by a ring slot (S) at least corresponding to the thickness of the articles (G). The separating section (8) is subdivided into individual shafts (11) for receiving the articles (G) by ribs (9) circumferentially succeeding one another with a spacing at least corresponding to the width or diameter of the articles (G).
