Abstract: A system for automatic packaging of shoes can include a first subsystem that can determine shoe type information from a shoe or pair of shoes to be packaged, a second subsystem that can automatically package the shoe, or pair of shoes, in a packaging container, and a third subsystem that can dynamically control the automatic packaging based at least in part on the determined shoe type information.

Abstract: A floor cleaning machine is provided, including a base, a rocker which is arranged at the base via a first pivot bearing for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis, a sweeping roller which is arranged at the rocker via a rotary bearing for rotational movement about a rotary axis, a motor device for rotatably driving the sweeping roller, and a traction drive having a traction member for transmitting torque from the motor device to the sweeping roller, wherein the traction member includes a load-side section, wherein a lever is arranged at the base via a second pivot bearing for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis, wherein the lever is articulated to the rocker, and wherein a deflection element for the traction member is arranged at the lever, wherein the traction member is guided on the deflection element in the load-side section.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and processes for the production of hollow fiber membrane bundles. The bundles are used for the manufacture of filtration and/or diffusion devices, e.g., capillary dialyzers.

Abstract: Described is a method of manufacturing a component for a shoe that includes the steps: forming a sheet of material; heating the sheet of material; stretching the heated sheet of material by moving a last into the sheet of material, wherein the last defines the shape of the component; and applying a pressure lower than ambient pressure between the stretched sheet of material and the last to conform the sheet of material to the last; or applying a pressure higher than ambient pressure over the stretched sheet of material to conform the sheet of material to the last.

Abstract: An object recognition device for vehicles, including a sensor, a filter device and an analysis device. Signals from an object are detectable by the sensor. The detected signals are filterable by the filter device and then feedable to the analysis device. The analysis device is configured to recognize the object by analyzing the filtered signals. The filter device includes an averaging unit, which averages the profile of the amplitudes of the detected signals, and a non-linear filter unit, which is provided based on a linear low-pass filter with a variable time constant and filters the detected signals. A value profile corresponding to the difference between the averaged amplitude profile and the filtered signals is feedable to the analysis device for analyzing and recognizing the object. The variable time constant is establishable based on the difference between the filtered signals and the detected signals and based on the averaged amplitude profile.

Abstract: A luminaire for a motor vehicle bodywork includes a light source configured to generate light beams, an optical waveguide configured to forward the light beams, and an optical sheet configured to emit the light beams. The optical sheet is arranged at an angle (?), which is greater than 0°, with respect to the optical waveguide. A contact is formed between the optical waveguide and the optical sheet. The optical waveguide is configured to transfer the light beams onto the optical sheet. The light beams are guided into the optical sheet with the aid of at least one light guiding element via the contact.

Abstract: A mobile high-pressure cleaning apparatus is provided with a vehicle trailer, on the chassis of which at least two running wheels are held so as to be rotatable, and with a high-pressure cleaning appliance having a motor and a pump, and also with at least one water storage tank for storing water for the high-pressure cleaning appliance. So that water can be provided to the apparatus from the at least one water storage tank or from a water supply mains, without risk of water from the water supply mains being returned thereto, the high-pressure cleaning apparatus has a decoupling tank with at least one inlet which can be connected to the water supply mains, and at least one outlet which is connected to the high-pressure cleaning appliance and to at least one water supply tank via a shut-off member which can be actuated by the user.

Abstract: A lamp for a motor vehicle body includes a light source configured to generate light beams; a reflector configured to deflect and reflect the light beams; and an optical plate configured to scatter reflected light beams and non-reflected light beams. The reflector includes a first partial region and a second partial region for generating different brightness levels. The first partial region of the reflector is configured to be reflection-free.
