  • Patent number: 11946165
    Abstract: A method for producing solid cellulose filaments from a fluid of the cellulose by extruding the fluid through a plurality of extrusion openings, whereby fluid filaments are produced, and solidifying the filaments in a coagulation bath, the filaments being bundled in the coagulation bath and being deflected as a bundle in order to be drawn from the coagulation bath above the coagulation bath level, the bundle of filaments assuming a deflection width on a deflecting device, which deflection width is defined in accordance with a formula. A device therefor is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9568531
    Abstract: A device for detecting faults in an electric line between a voltage source and a load is disclosed. The device includes a signal-generation unit a signal-receiving unit and an evaluation mechanism. The signal-generation unit is configured to produce a power-line signal and transmit the power-line signal via the electric line to an external mechanism. The signal-receiving unit is configured to receive a response signal from the external mechanism. The evaluation mechanism is configured to detect an occurrence of a fault, when the signal-receiving unit fails to receive a response signal.

  • Patent number: 7357676
    Abstract: A fuse holder for use in motor vehicles. The fuse holder comprises an elongated box-shaped housing having flat-fuse type slots accessible from the upper side of the housing and contact chambers arranged beneath the slots within the housing. The chambers can receive the contact feet of single contacts and/or current bridges. Contact chambers of the current bridge and of the single contacts can be substantially identically configured, which may permit a more versatile use. Each contact chamber can be fitted with two mutually facing catch recesses for catch projections of the single contacts. Each contact chamber can also be fitted with at least one catch recess for the current bridge. Moreover, each contact chamber can be fitted with a receiving shaft for two contact feet where the feet are aligned parallel to one another and transverse to the extension direction of the elongated housing.

  • Patent number: 7241191
    Abstract: A current bridge comprising an oblong support strip that has an end face, and a plurality of contact feet each having a first strip-shaped leg and a second strip-shaped leg. The contact feet extend from the end face of the support strip and are formed integrally with the support strip. The two legs each comprise a main face specified by their strip shape. The main faces of the two legs extend essentially parallel to one another.
