  • Publication number: 20230296567
    Abstract: A photoacoustic detector unit comprises a housing having an opening, and also a photoacoustic transducer designed to convert optical radiation into at least one from a pressure signal or a heat signal. The photoacoustic transducer covers the opening of the housing, such that the photoacoustic transducer and the housing form an acoustically tight cavity. A pressure pick-up is arranged in the acoustically tight cavity.

  • Patent number: 8344670
    Abstract: The invention relates to a retraction device for a movable piece of furniture, having a pulling means windable on a roll, and an electric motor is provided for driving the roll. The retraction device also has a coupling for releasably connecting the movable piece of furniture to the electric drive, and the coupling has a first coupling part for fastening to the movable piece of furniture and a second coupling part connected to the pulling means. The first coupling part has an opening for at least the partial acceptance of the second coupling part. A locking mechanism is provided by which the first coupling part can be connected to the second coupling part in at least two different positions, and the second coupling part is located at different depths in the opening in the two different positions.

  • Publication number: 20090261696
    Abstract: A cabinet-shaped piece of furniture having a folding lid (2) with two lid parts (3, 4) which are arranged one above the other. The upper lid part (3) is pivotally hinged to the body (1) of the piece of furniture, and the lower lid part (4) is pivotally [hinged] to the upper lid part (3). The axis of rotation (13) between the two lid parts (3, 4) lies in the region of the wall thickness (5) of the lid parts (3, 4). The distance of the instantaneous centre of rotation (20) of the lower lid part (4) from the lower edge (16) of the lower lid (4), when the folding lid (2) is closed, amounts to 25% of the height (h) of the lower lid part (4).
