Abstract: The invention relates to a diffuser for a radial compressor, comprising a flow channel defined by a first side wall and a second side wall, a diffuser vane ring with a plurality of diffuser vanes that are at least partially arranged in the flow channel, each of the diffuser vanes having a pressure side and a suction side, a plurality of diffuser passages, said diffuser passages being formed between every two adjacent diffuser vanes of the plurality of diffuser vanes, and circulation openings, each circulation opening connecting the flow channel to a diffuser cavity, at least two circulation openings being associated with one diffuser passage, and a circulation opening associated with a diffuser passage being fluidically connected to another circulation opening associated with the same diffuser passage or to a circulation opening associated with another diffuser passage, via the diffuser cavity.

Abstract: A flash butt rail welding welderhead combines in a single unit, the ability for the three functions of rail pulling, flash butt forging and maintaining the “after forged” displacement without any change in platen position such that shearing may be accomplished in three stages, a single stage, multiple stages or a progressive stage, all while maintaining clamping and stretching force on the rails.

Abstract: The system for error management for the further processing of an imbricated stream (S) of printed products has an observation element (1), which generates a measuring signal correlated with the imbricated stream. The measuring signal is interpreted clock by clock by an interpretation element (2) by edge and/or amplitude scanning. If a clock of the measuring signal does not have the correct number of edges or a maximum amplitude lying outside a tolerance range, error signals are generated and sent to a control element (3). The control element (3) generates control signals corresponding to the error signals for at least one controlled element (10, 20, 30), which is arranged downstream from the observation element (1) in the stream of products, by delaying the error signal essentially by the distance between observation element (1) and controlled element (10, 20, 30). The controlled element (10, 20, 30) eliminates places where errors have occurred or transforms them into places of different errors.
