  • Publication number: 20240103698
    Abstract: In some implementations, a user device may present, on a user interface (UI) associated with a user account, a first UI element. The user device may detect a user interaction, with the user device, indicating the first UI element. The user device may present, on the UI and based on the user interaction, a second UI element, which increases in length in a first direction from a start point, along a closed path around the first UI element and ending at the start point, while the user interaction is being detected. The second UI element completes the closed path when an interaction duration satisfies a duration threshold, which indicates a confirmation of a request for an action associated with the user account. The duration threshold is based on one or more parameters associated with one or more of the action, the user account, or the user interaction.

    Abstract: A method for testing tightness of container includes placing a bell-shaped test head over a mouth of the container, sealing the container against the test head, accommodating at least a portion of the container in a testing chamber within the test head, increasing a pressure difference between a pressure within the testing chamber and an internal pressure of the container, identifying evidence of matter exiting the container and entering the testing chamber. Typical evidence includes emergence of filling substance into the testing chamber and/or foaming of the filling substance in the testing chamber. Identifying such evidence includes using a camera to monitor either the region of the container or the test chamber for the evidence.

  • Patent number: 10040677
    Abstract: A receptacle treatment-machine features a shield arranged along a region of the receptacle-treatment machine. The shield's cladding segments define a protection wall that catches receptacle shards hurled machine. These cladding segments are arranged following one another. Each segment hangs freely from an upper end thereof to form a pendulum or connects at an end thereof to the receptacle treatment machine by a working connection with an elastically deformable element. Lower ends of the cladding segments are beneath a level of treatment positions of the receptacle-treatment machine, beneath a level on which the receptacles rest on bases thereof as they move during treatment thereof, and beneath a level on which the receptacles are supported on lower regions thereof as they move during treatment thereof.

  • Patent number: 9835054
    Abstract: An exhaust gas turbocharger may include a shaft mounted in a bearing housing carrying a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel. The shaft may include a sealing bush arranged on the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. The sealing bush together with a bearing housing cover may at least partially delimit an annular oil centrifuging space arranged coaxially to the sealing bush. The bearing housing cover may include a guiding nib located radially outside the sealing bush partially covering the sealing bush in axial direction. The guiding nib may be configured to guide oil separated in the oil centrifuging space onto the rotating sealing bush.
