Abstract: A method for providing an integrity test of a double filter capsule can include providing the double filter capsule in such a way that in a filtration process the medium to be filtered flows in its flow direction from an upstream chamber in the housing through a first filter into an intermediate chamber between the first filter and a second filter and then through the second filter to an outlet. The housing can have an upstream-chamber access point for feeding a test fluid into the upstream chamber and an intermediate-chamber access point for feeding the test fluid into the intermediate chamber. Additional steps can include providing a connecting line between the upstream-chamber access point and the intermediate-chamber access point and determining the state of integrity of the double filter capsule on the basis of at least two test phases.

Abstract: A bookbinding machine (100) is proposed. The bookbinding machine (100) comprises a driving system (225) for driving transport elements (210a-210c) of book blocks (215a-215c) in succession across at least one engagement processing station 5 (205d) and one or more disengagement processing stations (205a,205e) which process the book blocks while stationary therein. Control means (120) stop the driving system (225) when each of the transport elements (210b) is at the engagement processing station (205d) engaged with the driving system (225) and other transport elements (210a,210c) are at the disengagement processing stations (205a,205e) disengaged from the driving system (225). A bookbinding plant comprising one or more of these bookbinding machines (100) is also proposed. Moreover, a corresponding method for operating a bookbinding machine (100), a computer program and a computer program product for implementing the method are proposed.

Abstract: A disposable filtration device includes a plurality of disposable filter capsules connected with each other by lines, which are carried by a rigid holder. At least the holder and the lines between the filter capsules preferably are formed of a sterilizable material, so that the filtration device can be sterilized in the pre-mounted, i.e. ready-to-connect condition, and can be packed and transported without a risk of damage.

Abstract: A filter module with a perforated inner tube (20) and a concentric, perforated outer tube (22), forming an interposed annular gap for a filter membrane (10) pleated into folds. The membrane folds (11, . . . ) are of different fold types with differing fold heights, extend from a respective fold edge (111, . . . ) resting against the outer tube towards the inner tube to the respective fold tip (114, . . . ) and are arranged along the circumference of the annular gap as groups of folds (11, . . . ) of different types. Each group has a mating fold (15) which extends from a mating fold edge (151) resting against the inner tube towards the outer tube to the mating fold tip (154). The height of the mating fold is no more than the difference between the width of the annular gap and the height of the fold type with the shortest height of the same group.
