Abstract: The invention relates to a gas insulated electric apparatus comprising an insulating tube, an electric high voltage appliance arranged inside the insulating tube and a permeation barrier arranged within the insulating tube and circumferentially surrounding the electric high voltage appliance, whereby the insulating tube contains an insulation gas comprising at least 70% by volume of CO2 and/or N2 and comprising an elevated and pre-determined operating gas pressure level, and the permeation barrier comprises polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene vinyl alcohol, aluminum oxide and/or polyurethane.

Abstract: A respiration promoting apparatus and a method for promoting respiration for coordinately stimulating two Phrenic nerves of a patient for activating a diaphragm of the patient including a first coil unit and as second coil unit. The first coil unit is configured to be positioned at the patient to stimulate a first Phrenic nerve of the patient. The second coil unit is configured to be positioned at the patient to stimulate a second Phrenic nerve of the patient. The first coil unit has a non-flat first coil winding formed from a conductive elongate component, and the second coil unit also has a non-flat second coil winding formed from a conductive elongate component. A control unit coordinatedly provides current through the first coil winding and the second coil winding such that the first and second Phrenic nerves are stimulated, and a diaphragm of the patient is homogeneously activated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor package (6) with long design for a WIM (Weigh in Motion) sensor (1), comprising a first receiving plate (7), a plurality of measuring elements (10), which are arranged equally spaced in a row (15) on the upper side (9) of the first receiving plate (7), an electrode (11) covering all the measuring elements (10), insulation (12) completely covering the electrode (11), and a second receiving plate (8), which covers the insulation (12). In particular, each receiving plate (7, 8) consists of a plurality of receiving elements (13) the end faces (14) of which are juxtaposed in a row (15). According to the invention, the inner end faces (14) of the receiving elements (13) of at least one row (15) have profiles (16) which engage in a form fit manner with the profiles (16) of the adjacent end faces (14) of neighboring receiving elements (13).

Abstract: An apparatus for printing isolated packaging elements (11) comprises a conveyor (10) comprising a plurality of transportation segments (15), wherein the isolated packaging elements (11) are maintained in a stock (21). A feeder (20) is provided to transfer at least one isolated packaging element (11) from the stock (21) on one transportation segment (15), wherein each isolated packaging element (11) is held fast on the corresponding transportation segment (15) through a holding element associated to said transportation segment (15). At least one drive (26) is connected with the conveyor (10) to move the conveyor (10). A print module (40) is provided above the transportation segments (15) to print, on the isolated packaging element (11), the sides (12, 13) opposite to the surface oriented towards the transportation segment (15).

Abstract: An apparatus for advancing articles in a selected, approximately horizontal conveying direction, includes a plurality of side-by-side disposed table elements each having an upper, approximately horizontal article-supporting surface. The article-supporting surfaces together form an approximately horizontal conveying table. A first drive oscillates each table element parallel to its article-supporting surface in a motion having two motion components oriented in perpendicular, horizontal directions and a second drive vertically oscillates each table element. A first synchronizing arrangement synchronizes the horizontal oscillations in the direction of the two motion components and a second synchronizing arrangement synchronizes the vertical oscillations with the horizontal oscillations.

Abstract: A waste stripping tool comprising a grid formed of crossbar members consisting of a crossbar assembly of two members held side-by-side by a coupler. The assembly consists of a strap, which has two jaws having two triangular profiled teeth engaged in grooves in each of the crossbar members and threaded arrangement for causing a clamping of the jaws onto the members to hold them in a side-by-side relationship. The assembly can be utilized in a stripping station of a sheet die cutting machine and allows for the reduction of the number of bars needed to construct the frame of different sizes for the particular station.

Abstract: An improved sheathing for use as a covering on a polygonal container having a plurality of adjustable support members for supporting the sheathing thereon. The sheathing comprises at least two adjacent pivotally connected panels having a vertical joint therebetween formed by an offset edge of one panel overlying an adjacent edge of the other panel. The panels include a mechanism for adjusting the angle between the panels comprising a pair of pivotally connected plates, each of the plates being pivotally connected to a respective one of the panels, and an adjusting screw threadedly mounted to the plates and extending towards the joint.

Abstract: A scaffold to which form plates for forming a concrete wall can be fastened is suitable for circular constructions and includes a polygonal frame which is vertically adjustable along supports. The frame, is angularly adjustable at the corners, of plural straight frame portions, each of which is a separate part attached to the adjacent frame portions.
