  • Patent number: 7770850
    Abstract: A holding device for at least one pipe, or the like, is disclosed, the holding device including a housing having a basic body and a lid movable relative to the basic body, and an insert for insertion into the housing. The insert includes at least one substantially U-shaped pipe receiving area into which the pipe is insertable through an insertion slot in a radial direction, so that the insert surrounds the pipe at least in sections. To improve the holding device such that it achieves improved acoustic decoupling together with a considerably simplified structure, it is provided that the insert includes a flexible device configured to close the insertion slot in the closed state of the lid at least in sections.

  • Patent number: 7372876
    Abstract: At least one switching instance is provided in a VoIP system in order to set up a useful data link between a calling terminal and a called terminal. A first signaling link is set up between each terminal and the at least one switching instance for interchanging information on the basis of a first protocol, a second signaling link is set up between them for interchanging information on the basis of a standardization second protocol, in which the useful data link is set up on the basis of the information interchanged on the basis of the second protocol. At least the second signaling link is initiated by the calling terminal, with the information which is transmitted via the first signaling link and in parallel via the second signaling link from the terminals being in each case combined.

  • Patent number: 7337551
    Abstract: A probe head for a coordinate measuring machine has a replaceable, miniaturized probe system with a stylus. The stylus is rigid and forms a structural unit together with a membrane-type sensor system that is deformed in a predetermined way when a force acts on the stylus. The structural unit is permanently fixed to a probe holder and can be handled together with the probe holder when the stylus is being replaced.

  • Patent number: 7316075
    Abstract: A coordinate measuring machine for the metrological determination of a measurement coordinate on a test object comprises a table for mounting the test object. A first and a second bearing support are arranged on the table. A first and a second carriage, each moveable in a longitudinal direction, are mounted on the bearing supports. According to one aspect of the invention, the carriages are each mounted on the bearing supports via at least three, preferably four separate bearing points, with the bearing points defining a plane that is perpendicular to the plane of the table.
