Abstract: Connection devices for connecting a drainage gutter to a further functional element (10), for example to an inlet box, are known, which comprise an adapter plate (20) to which the drainage gutter can be connected. In order to ensure simple assembly on the building site in combination with a high degree of tightness, it is proposed to provide a cast-in part (40) which can be tightly cast into a wall of the functional element (10) and comprises fastening devices by means of which the adapter plate (20) can be fixedly connected to the cast-in part (40) in such a way that a flow space (2) of the drainage gutter can be tightly connected to an interior of the functional part (10) via a transfer space.

Abstract: Rails for drainage channels or manholes are known on which a cover of a channel or of a manhole can be placed. The rail has a horizontal bearing surface (10) extending in a longitudinal direction of the drainage channel or of the manhole and, substantially perpendicular to this bearing face, a rail edge (11) on the inner surface (12) of which the cover can be placed and on the outer surface (13) of which a surface covering can be applied. To increase the strength, it is proposed that the bearing surface (10) and/or the inner surface (12) and/or the outer surface (13) is/are provided with beads (20, 22, 23) over the entire length of the rail (1).

Abstract: A measuring arrangement where a magnet moves or is positioned because of the movement or position of an object, and this movement or positioning of the magnet is collected by a sensor, an in particular a non-magnetic dividing wall being provided between the magnet and the sensor. A mechanical converter, in particular a gear, being arranged between the object and the magnet.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wiping cloth which has unique surface properties, tactile feel and enhanced wiping performance for wiping both wet and dry surfaces. The wiping cloth has a series of three-dimensional projections which encircles apertures. The wiping cloth is made from a substrate which contains a thermoplastic polymer.

Abstract: A method provides time-dependent automatic acclimatization of at least one parameter of a hearing device, for example the volume, to a predeterminable target. In the method the speed of the automatic acclimatization is influenced by parameter changes made by a wearer of the hearing device himself. Advantageously this makes it possible to address the individual familiarizing phase and requirements of the wearer of the hearing device and finally to set an optimum parameter value.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting the transmission characteristic of a hearing aid, the characteristic being defined by hearing aid-specific parameters, a data processing device is used that has a screen and a pointer device. On a graphics user interface of the data processing device, an object displayed in a first area of the screen is selected and copied with the pointer device and the copy is moved into the second area of the screen and stored there, with the transmission characteristic of the hearing aid being able to be changed by the stored object. Settings selected for a hearing aid or a hearing program thus can be transferred quickly and easily to a second hearing aid or a second hearing program.

Abstract: A surface water drainage system according to the present invention includes a structure that can be installed in the ground, and a cover that can be laid onto an upper edge of the structure. Fixation devices that are attached to the cover include a locking system in a form of elastic hook elements fixed to edges of the cover that can be brought into snap-on engagement with other locking system on the structure in order to retain the cover on the structure.

Abstract: Covers for mounting onto upper edges of drainage channels or similar surface water drainage arrangements are well known, which are mounted onto the drainage channel by means of fixing devices. To simplify construction, storage and assembly it is proposed that the cover include a frame to which fixing means are attached and which includes devices for the retention and fixing of surface elements. The surface elements may be formed in various ways.

Abstract: A street grid is provided for surface drainage. The grid includes a frame and a grating, which are adapted to the contours of a paved gully in order to be integrated into the latter, for draining water that flows towards the street grid in a pre-defined flow direction. The aim of the grid is to ensure permanent drainage. To achieve this, recessed inlet openings are provided in the upper edge of at least one lateral wall of the frame in order to guide the water in the flow direction.
