  • Publication number: 20240359206
    Abstract: A device for applying an at least two-component viscous material to workpieces, includes a metering unit which has a number of metering valves corresponding to the number of components of the viscous material, and a static mixer which has a mixing tube, for mixing the components introduced using the metering unit into a material inlet at its first end and during passage from the material inlet to a material outlet at its second end, and an outer tube, wherein the mixing tube is received in the outer tube and, at the material inlet and at the material outlet, is sealed off from the environment using respective seals. The seals each have a circumferential cutting edge, and the cutting edges, when subjected to force in a direction towards each other, each cut into an end face on the mixing tube.

  • Publication number: 20240310805
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device which allows in real-time the determination of concentration, purity and potency of a biological product during purification and/or concentration processes in order to intervene into the process, either for process control or real time release. The properties of the process stream are continuously monitored by at least two online sensors and with the aid of multivariate statistical analysis so that concentration, purity and potency is determined in real time.

  • Publication number: 20240273328
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a chip card body having a metallic core layer for a contactless or dual-interface chip card. A slot in the metallic core layer for reducing eddy currents is generated not in the metallic multiple-copy sheet itself but instead only in the metallic core layer extracted from the metallic multiple-copy sheet. In this way, there are no short-circuit-forming metal chips left in the slot, since the slot is generated only after the extraction of the metallic core layer from the multiple-copy sheet.

  • Publication number: 20230370810
    Abstract: Distributed antenna systems provide location information for client devices communicating with remote antenna units. The location information can be used to determine the location of the client devices relative to the remote antenna unit(s) with which the client devices are communicating. A location processing unit (LPU) includes a control system configured to receive uplink radio frequency (RF) signals communicated by client devices and determines the signal strengths of the uplink RF signals. The control system also determines which antenna unit is receiving uplink RF signals from the device having the greatest signal strength.

  • Publication number: 20230309013
    Abstract: Power management for remote units in a wireless distribution system. Power can be managed for a remote unit configured to power modules and devices that may require more power to operate than power available to the remote unit. For example, the remote unit may be configured to include power-consuming remote unit modules to provide communication services. As another example, the remote unit may be configured to provide power through powered ports in the remote unit to power-consuming devices. Depending on the configuration of the remote unit, the power-consuming remote unit modules and/or power-consuming devices may demand more power than is available at the remote unit. In this instance, the power available at the remote unit can be distributed to the power-consuming modules and devices based on the priority of services desired to be provided by the remote unit.
