  • Publication number: 20250070611
    Abstract: A motor for a pump has a stator, a rotor with a front and a rear end, and a rotor bearing arrangement for the rotor, the rotor bearing arrangement having a rear bearing receptacle for the rear end of the rotor, and a motor cover on the rear bearing receptacle. The motor cover is connected form-lockingly with the rear bearing receptacle against movement in the axial direction of the motor away from the motor by way of a latching connection with latching projections on the bearing receptacle and elastic resilient latching arms on the motor cover, each of which interacts with one of the latching projections as a latching connection. The resilient latching arms are integrally connected to the motor cover in a region spaced by between 70% and 90% of the radial extent of the motor cover from the longitudinal center axis of the rotor, wherein they are elongate and are elastically movable in at least one direction.

  • Patent number: 12165662
    Abstract: A downscaled version of an audio decoding procedure may more effectively and/or at improved compliance maintenance be achieved if the synthesis window used for downscaled audio decoding is a downsampled version of a reference synthesis window involved in the non-downscaled audio decoding procedure by downsampling by the downsampling factor by which the downsampled sampling rate and the original sampling rate deviate, and downsampled using a segmental interpolation in segments of ¼ of the frame length.

  • Publication number: 20240191869
    Abstract: A device for steam generation has a device housing, a heating chamber for water with a water inlet for connection to a water supply and a steam outlet. A heating element is provided on the heating chamber for heating up and evaporating water therein and has a metallic heating element carrier and heating conductors arranged thereon, preferably as thick-film heating conductors. The heating chamber and the heating element are arranged in the device housing. The heating element forms a wall of the heating chamber and is connected in sealing manner to other walls of the heating chamber. The heating chamber is in one extension direction longer than it is wide and deep in both extension directions vertical thereto. An electrical connection device for the device is provided laterally on an elongated side of the heating chamber on the device housing, in particular projecting laterally from the device housing in order to achieve a flat design.

  • Patent number: 11462226
    Abstract: There are disclosed apparatus and methods for encoding and/or decoding information signals (e.g., audio signals). An encoder apparatus includes a plurality of frequency domain (FD) encoder tools for encoding an information signal, and an encoder bandwidth detector and controller configured to select a bandwidth for at least a subgroup of the FD encoder tools. The subgroup includes less FD encoder tools than the plurality of FD encoder tools. The selection is based on information signal characteristics, so that one of the FD encoder tools of the subgroup has a different bandwidth with respect to at least one of the FD encoder tools which are not in the subgroup.
