Abstract: A device for creating a stiffened region on an outer structure of an aircraft for subsequently providing a service access if required is disclosed having an outer structure, a reinforcing plate which is mounted in a predetermined installation region on an inner side of the outer structure and forms a contact surface between the reinforcing plate and the outer structure. The reinforcing plate has a through-opening along the surface normal of the contact surface, and a connecting material which connects the reinforcing plate to the outer structure in an edge region of the contact surface by substance-to-substance bonding and/or by interlocking engagement.

Abstract: A method includes generating a model for predicting a remaining service life of a gripping member of a torque wrench based in part on a number of connections of one or more types of tubulars that are made or broken using the torque wrench before slippage of the torque wrench occurs, counting a first number of connections of a first type of tubular that are made using the torque wrench, predicting, using the model, the remaining service life of the gripping member of the torque wrench based in part on the first number of connections of the first type of tubular that were made using the torque wrench, and performing maintenance on the torque wrench based on the remaining service life of the gripping member of the torque wrench that is predicted, before slippage of the torque wrench occurs.

Abstract: A particularly simple construction is intended for a packaging container for bulk material, in particular a sack or bag made of a plastic film with at least one container wall which encloses the bulk material, which comprises a multilayer venting region extending in the longitudinal direction of the container and consisting of at least one inner layer and one outer layer, wherein the venting region has at least one inner and outer opening, wherein the inner openings are designed as apertures in a strip-shaped surface region of the inner layer of the venting region, wherein the surface region extends over at least a portion of the direction of extent of the venting region, and wherein the at least one outer opening is formed in a joining seam laterally limiting the venting region, wherein a shielding element inside the venting region is associated with the outer opening in the joining seam for the deliberate diversion of at least a partial flow of the air flow passing through the venting region.
