Abstract: A water supply system for an aircraft has water lines which lead to a consumer group with at least one water consumer and at least one buffer upstream of the at least one water consumer. A discharge line discharges water from a water tank into the water lines and a feed pump in the discharge line supplies water from the water tank into the water lines. Each of the water lines is a flexible hose made of plastic with an internal diameter of at least 4 mm and a length of at most 100 m, and the feed pump is configured to convey water from the water tank into the water lines at a pressure of at most 25 bar and a flow rate of at most 1.4 liters per minute.

Abstract: An apparatus for unloading load items, comprising a receiving conveyor having a freely projecting receiving end and a rear delivery end, a removal conveyor and a transfer conveyor arranged therebetween which has a front takeover end adjoining the delivery end of the receiving conveyor and a rear handover end adjoining a head end of the removal conveyor, wherein the transfer conveyor is mounted so as to be pivotable in height about a first swivelling axis arranged at the handover end, and the receiving conveyor is mounted so as to be pivotable in height about a second swivelling axis arranged at the delivery end, wherein the receiving conveyor and the transfer conveyor can be moved, by being swivelled about the first and second swivelling axes, into at least one upper unloading position, in which the transfer conveyor is substantially horizontal before the first swivelling axis, the receiving conveyor is substantially vertical below the second swivelling axis and the receiving end of the receiving conveyor is

Abstract: A transport apparatus with an endless belt-like transport member, which is guided circulating in a conveying direction via a plurality of rotating return rollers, there being formed between a first return roller and a second return roller a transport section in which articles to be conveyed can be picked up and transported by the transport member, and wherein the first return roller has a convex outer lateral surface with a diameter that reduces outwards from a central plane arranged perpendicularly to an axis of rotation of the first return roller, and the second return roller has a concave outer lateral surface with a diameter that increases outwards from a central plane arranged perpendicularly to an axis of rotation of the second return roller.

Abstract: In order to provide an economical process for applying a coating to at least one side, optionally to both sides, of a leather, in which gentle processing of the leather is ensured and hardening thereof is avoided, an aqueous plastic dispersion having compact particles containing a blowing agent being applied to this side or these sides and being allowed to solidify, and hollow microspheres being formed from the thermoplastic compact particles by supplying heat, the invention proposes that, after solidification, the plastic dispersion containing the compact particles is subjected to the action of expanded superheated steam at a temperature between 80° C. and 100° C. (FIG. 2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for handling, namely forwarding and extracting, data, especially messages, in a system comprising at least one data source and a plurality of data receivers. The invention also relates to a corresponding system comprising at least one data source and at least one data receiver. At least one set of data, especially a message, is forwarded to a plurality of data receivers from a data source. According to the invention, when a set of data forwarded from the data source is acknowledged by one of the data receivers, said acknowledged data is preferably automatically extracted from the data source for the rest of the data receivers.

Abstract: In order to produce a coating having an attractive, velvet-like or suede-like appearance for a substrate by application of a liquid plastic dispersion to the die surface 3 consisting of hydrophobic plastic and subsequent solidification of this plastic material, a die is used whose surface 3, according to the invention, has a gloss of less than 2.2 according to DIN 67530 at an angle of incidence of 60° and is provided with microscopically small well-like indentations 4.
