Abstract: A device for checking a contour of a load received on an industrial truck. The device comprises a subsurface travelable by the industrial truck and two or more sensor units configured for recording two-dimensional data and arranged such that a substantially vertical detection area is spanned. The device comprises a control device configured to one or more of specify or determine the relative position of the industrial truck located on the travelable subsurface with respect to the substantially vertical detection area. The control device comprises at least one evaluation unit configured to evaluate data recorded by the two or more sensor units to determine, based on the relative position, that the area occupied by one or more of the industrial truck or the load carried by the industrial truck in the detection area meets a predetermined condition.

Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated thermosiphon reboiler-condensate pot which integrates a condensate collection volume into a thermosiphon reboiler and avoids the need for an external condensate pot or steam trap. Also disclosed are a method for operating the integrated thermosiphon reboiler-condensate pot, a system including the integrated thermosiphon reboiler-condensate pot and a method for retrofitting an existing thermosiphon reboiler.

Abstract: An aircraft fuel contaminant tester has an upper transparent chamber for viewing a first sample of aviation fuel, a lower chamber, a fuel cell drain valve actuating device for loading the upper transparent chamber. A thumb actuated valve halts flow of fuel from the upper chamber into the lower chamber until actuated by the pilot after viewing contaminated fuel in the upper transparent chamber. The larger lower chamber permits several samples of fuel to be repeatedly drained from the fuel tank and examined merely by manually actuating the valve without the undesired discarding of any fuel. When the fuel in the last batch of sampled fuel, viewed in the upper chamber, is free of contaminants, the inspection process ends and the tester is inverted, draining the sampled fuel from both chambers, usually at one time only, to eliminate the repeated discarding of the fuel from the commonly used sampler cup.
