Abstract: A foam generating device includes a housing defining an agitation chamber and a conditioning chamber. A cartridge assembly arranged within the agitation chamber defines an agitation flow path of the solution to increase a quantity of a gas in the solution. A conditioning assembly arranged within the conditioning chamber defines a tortuous flow path for the solution including a plurality of cylindrical discs configured to sequentially receive the solution. Each of the discs defines a plurality of radial ribs on a first side and on a second side opposite the first side, the first and second sides separated by a floor, and a disc passage defined in the floor. The conditioning assembly is adjustable in order to selectively define the tortuous flow path with a first quantity of radial ribs and second quantity of radial ribs in order to alter the aeration of the solution along the tortuous path.

Abstract: A method and a corresponding system for deploying changes in a computer system, in particular an industrial computer system, includes a database and an old version of the system to be updated. The method includes providing a new version of the system and providing a merge view capable of reading data from the database and furnishing the data to the new version. The database contains at least an old table readable by the old version and the merge view can read data from the old table and furnish them to the new version.

Abstract: A sensor module has a first sensor element and a second sensor element. The first sensor element and the second sensor element are accommodated in a common housing of the sensor module. The sensor module includes a conductor structure that comprises an electrode structure and a separate connection structure. The connection structure is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the first sensor element and the electrode structure is allocated to the second sensor element.

Abstract: A measuring device for detecting the amount of moisture in and the temperature of a flowing medium is disclosed. Flow-directing elements which mix the flowing medium and direct it in a desired direction are arranged in the measuring device. The average temperature of the medium can thus be detected using a suitably arranged temperature sensor. In addition, the moisture sensor may be arranged in such a manner that a selective amount of moisture in the medium is detected.

Abstract: A temperature-measuring device with a sensing head and a pipe piece is disclosed. The sensing head is embedded in the pipe piece. The pipe piece is provided for conducting a medium whose temperature is detected by the sensing head.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a solar sensor that includes a first modulator that is transparent to electromagnetic waves within a spectrum, and an additional modulator that is at best slightly transparent to the electromagnetic waves within the spectrum. The additional modulator features a belt-shaped region of varying widths that is arranged on the outside of the first modulator and partially covers the first modulator, and a photodetector that receives the electromagnetic waves and is covered by the first modulator.

Abstract: In a method of implementing a production process in an industrial production system having control equipment, a plant model of the industrial production system is created, and based on the plant model, at least one interface (SFC type) for external access to the control equipment is defined. A strategy is defined for the interface representing a single function of a functionality provided by the interface. A method call is defined for activating the functionality provided by the interface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for winding individual articles of flexible material together around a winding axis, wherein at least one endlessly rotating belt contacts the winding axis over a large portion of its circumference. A portion of the belt forms a feed plane for feeding the individual articles to the winding axis. The feed plane is held at a constant position and feeds the individual articles tangentially to the winding axis, regardless of the radius of the winding axis.
