Abstract: The fill valve incorporates a housing (8) that has a vertical water-carrying channel (24) that leads from an inlet (49) to be fastened on the flush tank bottom (2) to a float-controlled diaphragm valve (50). The diaphragm valve (50) incorporates in a diaphragm (43) a passage for the pressure equalization between a first chamber (51) in front of the diaphragm (43) and a second chamber (52) behind the diaphragm (43). To actuate the diaphragm valve (50) a pilot valve (58) is provided. The diaphragm valve (50) is disposed laterally on the housing (8), thus permitting a low overall height.

Abstract: A flushing device has two water outlets, wherein one outlet is connected to an arch of a trap of the toilet bowl. This outlet is connected to means with which a portion of the flushing water present in a flushing tank can be pressurized and released to this outlet. The water is briefly set into motion with the pressurized flushing water, and more effective emptying of the trap is achieved. The flushing device according to the present invention represents a lower load for the water pipes and operates with less noise than flushing valve-type devices.

Abstract: Substation for the distribution of electrical energy, and protected against arcing faults, characterized by the fact that Hall-effect sensors and additional optical fiber conductors are provided as sensors, whereby the Hall-effect sensors are logically AND linked with the optical fiber conductors.

Abstract: The drain valve (1) has a valve tube (26) as well as an insert (37) with a float (38) in a valve housing (36). The float (38) is connected with the valve tube (26). In the bottom (49) of the insert (37) openings (39, 41a) are provided, which can be made to index by rotating a punched disk (40). For setting or resetting the flush water quantity, the punched disk (40) can be rotated by raising and turning the valve tube (26). Cogs (43) of the punched disk (40) will then engage in corresponding cutouts (45) at the lower end of the valve tube (26).

Abstract: Cadmium is removed from an acid, phosphate-containing aqueous medium with the aid of an anion exchanger, in which process, during the removal, iodide or bromide ions are present in a quantity of 100-6000 ppm calculated with respect to the acid phosphate-containing aqueous medium.
