  • REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR, PISTON OF A REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR AND PISTON ARRANGEMENT
    Publication number: 20100034679
    Abstract: The invention concerns a refrigerant compressor with a cylinder, in which is arranged a piston (5) that is connected to a crankshaft via a connecting rod (14), the connecting rod (14) having a piston eye (18), through which a bolt (17) inserted in the piston (5) is guided. With such a refrigerant compressor, it is endeavoured to achieve a good efficiency. For this purpose, the bolt (17) is inserted in a blind bore (19).

  • Method and device for recognizing an object on a surface
    Patent number: 6969207
    Abstract: Recognizing a print substrate in the vicinity of a sensor within a printing machine, whereby a change in the capacitance of the system formed by the sensor and a surface of an area in which a print substrate should be recognized, is recognized by the sensor. In this way, print substrates can already be identified on the basis of a dielectric constant that is different from that of air.
