Abstract: A hydraulic unit includes an assembly with a hydrostatic positive displacement pump and an electric motor. The positive displacement pump includes a driving shaft configured to be driven by the electric motor. The hydraulic unit also includes an inert mass on which the assembly is rigidly mounted so as to minimize vibration of the assembly and reduce noise emission from the assembly.

Abstract: A hydraulic unit includes a tank configured to be filled with a hydraulic fluid. The tank has at least one inflow connection and at least one outflow connection. A flow guide for the hydraulic fluid is formed between the inflow connection and the outflow connection. The flow guide is configured to have at least two 180° flow arcs configured to cool and calm the hydraulic fluid and to avoid dead zones.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a membrane unit for generating an aerosol in an aerosol therapy device, the membrane unit comprising a membrane (1) having an area (6) comprising a plurality of through-holes for nebulizing a fluid and a flange (7) circumferentially surrounding the area (6), and a substrate (2) having an opening (8) wherein the flange (7) of the membrane (1) is welded to the substrate (2) so that the area (6) is located in the opening (8) wherein the weld (5) comprises at least three discontinuous welds (5c) arranged at a distance from each other a long a circumference of the opening (8) and a first annular weld (5b) circumferentially surrounding the opening (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a suction tool (10), configured and adapted for gutting fish (11) opened at the abdominal cavity, comprising a suction pipe (13) forming a main channel (12), wherein the suction pipe (13) has a connection (14) for a vacuum unit (15) at a free end and a suction opening (16) at the opposing end facing the abdominal cavity in the operating state, wherein the suction opening (16) laterally passes out of the suction pipe (13) and is thereby oriented radially in relation to the central axis M of the suction pipe (13), characterized in that an additional pipe element (23) for forming an auxiliary air channel (24, 31) is arranged in the region of the suction opening (16) of the suction pipe (13), wherein the pipe element (23) is arranged and adapted in such a way that a continuous suction air volume flow is maintained in the operating state of the suction tool (10). The invention also relates to an apparatus (17) and a method for gutting fish (11) opened at the abdominal cavity.

Abstract: Methods for wavelength calibration of spectrometers are provided which achieve better calibration accuracies than conventional peak search methods. The methods are based on the principle of a stepwise relative shift of corresponding measured-value blocks of a model and calibration spectrum where a correlation value is calculated for each shift step. A shift value is determined for each measured-value block at which the correlation value reaches an optimum. A value pair consisting of a position marker of the measured-value block and the associated shift value is determined for each measured-value block. These value pairs represent the design points for fitting to a suitable assignment function. Coefficients obtained in this manner can be used directly as coefficients of a wavelength assignment or be combined with the coefficients of an existing first wavelength assignment in that they for example replace or are offset against the coefficients of an existing first wavelength assignment.

Abstract: The invention concerns methods for the wavelength calibration of spectrometers and in particular secondary spectrometers which achieve considerably better calibration accuracies than the conventional peak search methods especially for spectrometers with a relatively large bandwidth. The methods according to the invention are based on the principle of a stepwise relative shift of corresponding measured-value blocks of a model and calibration spectrum where a correlation value is calculated for each shift step. A shift value is determined for each measured-value block at which the correlation value reaches an optimum. A value pair consisting of a position marker of the measured-value block and the associated shift value is determined for each measured-value block. These value pairs represent the design points for fitting to a suitable assignment function.
