Abstract: A watering system (100) includes a watering robot (102). The watering robot (102) further includes an irrigation controller (110) configured to operate within a region (114). A connector portion (106) is coupled to the body (104), and is adapted to couple with the one or more water supplying units (116) to receive water therefrom. The watering system (100) is characterized in that a sensor (130) of the watering robot (102) detects the one more water supplying units (116) to selectively integrates therewith. An actuator (140) of the watering robot (102) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to a ground surface (120) of the region (114). The watering robot (102) automatically couples with the one or more water supplying units (116) through the connector portion (106), and the actuator (140) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to the ground surface (120).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tensioning or deflector pulley, in particular for the belt drive on an internal combustion engine, essentially comprising a plastic or steel running pulley, formed by an inner hub ring, an outer running ring and a pulley disc, connecting both rings to each other, with a radial roller bearing fixed in the hub ring of the running pulley, made up of an inner bearing ring and an outer bearing ring with a number of rolling bodies running between the bearing rings in channeled running tracks, retained at regular separations from each other by a bearing cage with a seal to both sides of the roller bodies, by means of which the cavity, formed between the bearing rings and designed as a grease reservoir, is sealed.

Abstract: A method for the targeted execution of a reaction taking place alongside several competing chemical reactions is described, wherein the speeds of the competing reactions are set by the selection of the reaction conditions in such a way that the desired main reaction is not adversely affected. The invention further describes a new method for the oxidation of primary or secondary alcohols into aldehydes or ketones in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide, a carboxylic acid anhydride or halogenide, and an amine in an organic solvent, in a continuous processing system (Moffatt-Swern oxidation).

Abstract: Subassembly of at least two machine parts, the outer machine part, in particular a tensioning roller with a running disk made of steel being fastened with its internal circumferential surface on an external circumferential surface of the inner machine part a raceway ring of a rolling bearing, by means of compression connection, wherein the overlap of the internal diameter of the outer machine part, in particular the running disk, and of the external diameter of the inner machine part, in particular raceway ring, and the dimensions of the machine parts and their materials are selected such that the outer machine part, in particular the running disk, is deformed into the plastic range of material strain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rolling-bearing-mounted runner plate, which is configured as a single piece produced by means of a non-cutting process, for a traction mechanism drive. The runner plate, which has a C-shaped cross-sectional profile, forms a hub in which a raceway is formed for the guidance of rolling bodies of a rolling bearing.

Abstract: A seal for a pulley on a roller bearing includes a sealing cap which covers the front face of the roller bearing and is connected to a hub for externally enclosing the roller bearing. On the opposite side, the roller bearing has a sealing plate, which is likewise fixed to the hub and on the inner side interacts with a cylindrical section of the fixed housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing arrangement (1) for a rolling-contact bearing (2), comprising a rotating sealing disk (3), which engages with a sealing lip (14) in a recess (16) of the inner bearing ring (5). The sealing lip (14) is also provided with a bead (24), the arrangement and fitted position of which bring about a prestressing of the sealing lip (14) on the wall (18) of the recess (16).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a seal for a pulley (1) on a roller bearing. For this purpose a sealing cap (19a), which covers the front face of the roller bearing (2) and is connected to a hub (9), externally enclosing the roller bearing (2), is externally assigned to the roller bearing (2). On the opposite side the roller bearing (2) has a sealing plate (24a), which is likewise fixed to the hub (9) and on the inner side interacts with a cylindrical section (27) of the fixed housing (5).

Abstract: A tensioning or deflection pulley for a belt drive includes a carrier and a track roller comprised of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a connecting assembly, including a wheel disk extending between the inner and outer rings, and a rib assembly disposed in both sides of the disk in circumferential spaced-apart relationship, for interconnecting the inner and outer rings. The track roller is supported on the carrier by a sealed rolling-contact bearing via a fastening screw. A first sealing element is connected to the track roller on a carrier-distal side, and a second cap-shaped sealing element is disposed between the carrier and the track roller and detachably secured to the inner ring of the track roller to thereby seal the track roller on both sides.
