Abstract: A bumper crossmember comprising a wave structure oriented in the vertical direction (z direction), wherein the wave structure comprises at least three apex structures which extend in the bumper crossmember longitudinal direction and are adjacent in the vertical direction. This crossmember comprises a first length section that follows its longitudinal extent, at least one second length section that follows its longitudinal extent, and at least one transition section that is arranged respectively between these length sections. In the second length section, the wave structure is inverted with respect to the first length section, in that the opening direction of the apex structures switches in the transition section. In the transition section, there is at least one additional apex-forming structure, the apex of which is offset in the frontal direction (x direction) with respect to a frontal plane (yz-plane) in which at least two apex structures that are adjacent in the longitudinal sections lie.

Abstract: A cable bushing includes a metal tube, at least one cable for signal transmission received from a sensor which extends in an opposite direction inside the metal tube, which, in at least one axial end region sits with an immovable fit in a through-hole of a bearing block. The bearing block is arranged in a sealed manner in a passage of a housing wall or is connected in a sealed manner to the sensor.

Abstract: A system includes a control system and a field device. The control system is configured to communicate data with the field device. The field device includes an ultrasonic meter configured to measure a flow profile of a fluid flow through a pipe using a plurality of ultrasonic transducers. Each of the ultrasonic transducers is configured to transmit an ultrasonic pulse that is reflected and received by each of the other ultrasonic transducers. The field device also includes a network interface configured to output the flow profile to the control system.

Abstract: A hybrid ultrasonic flowmeter includes at least a first sensing plane including four ultrasonic transducers (transducers) positioned in a parallelogram arrangement on a meter pipe wall including a first and second transducer pair. A first reflector is positioned between the first transducer pair on a first portion of the meter pipe wall, and a second ultrasonic reflector is between the second transducer pair on a second portion of the meter pipe wall opposite the first wall portion. The transducers have assembly angles and emission patterns for emitting ultrasonic beams to provide a plurality of direct measurement paths and a plurality of reflective paths involving a first reflective path involving the first ultrasonic reflector and a second reflective path involving the second ultrasonic reflector. A flow electronics module including a transceiver causes the transducers to transmit ultrasonic signals and processes sensing signals generated by the transducers for determining a volume flow.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system and a method for planning the operation of, monitoring processes in, simulating, and/or optimizing a technical installation comprising several units that can be combined with each other. Said system comprises at least one process planning module, at least one process simulation module, and at least one process optimization module. Components for modeling, simulating, and optimizing the technical installation are stored in said modules. The interrelated modules cooperate with a data management layer via at least one interface, said data management layer making available actual measured and/or historical process data for determining parameters and/or operational data for the modules in order to plan operations as well as simulate and optimize processes. The parameters and/or operational data determined in the modules can be fed to the data management layer for further processing by taking into account the stored components.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the flow rate of fluid media has a rod-like interfering body rigidly arranged in the flow and which has a cylindrical flow-against surface on which periodically separating eddies form, as well as a device with a sensor for recording the eddy separating frequency which is dependent on the flow rate. In order to obtain a proportional dependence between the flow and separating frequency over a wide Reynolds number range in the case of a low inherent flow resistance, the interfering body is symmetrically bent downstream and to either side from its top. To avoid interactions between the two vortex paths which form, a diverting surface is positioned behind the interfering body in the plane thereof.
