Abstract: In a method for operation of a docking arrangement, position information is determined that describes a position of the patient table, including detecting, sensor data corresponding to: the position of the patient table relative to the docking arrangement, and/or to an environment feature describing a movement trajectory to the docking arrangement. The method may further include performing, in response to a switchover condition indicative of a handover situation and a purely manual operation of the patient table by an operator, a switch into an assistance operating mode of the docking arrangement. In the assistance operating mode, at least one guidance measure may be determined for the patient table and a functional component of the patient table may be controlled to assist the operator.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of indicating active-ingredient classes which can treat virus diseases caused by coronaviruses in a human or animal. Said treatment includes the acute treatment of an already existing virus disease and the prophylaxis of same. The present invention relates to a bromelain protease, bromelain, jacalin-like lectin, extract from the stem and/or the fruit of a pineapple plant, combination preparation, bromelain protease inhibitor, protein/protease mix, and glycated bromelain protein formed by exogenous non-enzymatic glycation, for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of virus infections caused by coronaviruses in a human or animal.

Abstract: A method is provided for optimizing the time required for a scale to weigh a set of ingredients. A weighing tolerance is obtained for each ingredient in the set. Based on the weighing tolerance, a readability parameter is determined for each ingredient. Based on the determined readability parameter, the scale is configured before each ingredient is weighed.

Abstract: A method of operating a battery system for providing electric energy to a vehicle. Sensor signals representing physical quantities of individual cells and/or individual modules of at least one battery of the battery system are generated. The sensor signals are transferred to a first and a second system controller. Both the first and second system controller evaluates the sensor signals and controls the battery system, depending on corresponding evaluation results. The first system controller is operated in combination with a first monitoring device and the second system controller is operated in combination with a second monitoring device. The first monitoring device monitors an operation of the second system controller and the second monitoring device monitors an operation of the first system controller. Depending on monitoring results of the first monitoring device and of the second monitoring device, the battery system is controlled.

Abstract: A filter unit (100) is configured to filter a gas and/or particles out of a gas mixture, especially out of breathing air. A process is provided for manufacturing such a filter unit. A shell surface (M) of a rigid filter (1), for example, including activated carbon, is enclosed by a flexible jacket (3). The jacket is enclosed with a rigid cover (2, 5) at the outflow-side end. The process includes inserting the filter into a shaping body, so that a gap remains between the inner wall of the shaping body and the shell surface (M) of the filter. Free-flowing material is inserted into this gap, and this material forms the jacket after a curing. A second manufacturing process includes cutting a piece off from a tube and pulling over the shell surface (M) of the filter. The piece of tube then forms the jacket of the filter.

Abstract: A torque converter, including: an impeller supported for rotation around an axis of rotation and including an impeller shell and at least one impeller blade non-rotatably connected to the impeller shell; a cover arranged to receive a rotational torque and including a distal portion including an interior surface in contact with the impeller shell, and an expanded radius portion extending from the distal portion in an axial direction and including an interior surface facing at least partly in a radially inner direction pointing toward the axis of rotation; and a turbine in fluid communication with the impeller and including a turbine shell and at least one turbine blade non-rotatably connected to the turbine shell. The interior surface of the expanded radius portion is located further in a radially outer direction than the interior surface of the distal portion.

Each of the tabs is received within a corresponding one of the openings such that the ring gear carrier and the clutch carrier are held together.

Abstract: A method prints and dries a substrate where ink containing water and pigment is printed onto the substrate in an inkjet printing process. The substrate has an initial moisture content and absorbs at least water of the ink, causing the moisture content of the substrate to rise. Radiation selectively acting on the water molecules is applied in a first drying step and then radiation selectively acting on the pigment is applied in a second drying step in such a way that after completion of the two drying steps, the water of the applied ink has essentially completely evaporated and the substrate has essentially reattained its initial moisture content. In this manner optimum drying of substrates to which ink has been applied occurs.
