Abstract: The present technology generally relates to jet engines, in particular for an aircraft, having at least one turbine shaft on which at least one compressor and a turbine are arranged, and a housing extends over the lateral surfaces of the jet engine, wherein furthermore at least one electrical generator unit for generating electricity is arranged on at least one turbine shaft, wherein the electrical generator unit has a locating plate and a generator, wherein the generator unit is detachably mounted on the engine-side locating plate. Therefore, a jet engine having a generator unit is provided which permits simple installation, removal and servicing of the generator unit in or out of the jet engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for isolating non-embryonic stem cells from a tissue that is located in immediate vicinity of immature, developing teeth or wisdom teeth. The invention further relates to non-embryonic stem cells derived from said tissue. The method according to the invention utilises a living soft tissue residing underneath the dental papilla 12 in immediate vicinity of the apical side of a developing tooth, which is clearly distinguished from other tooth tissue, such as dental papilla 12 or follicle. The pad-like tissue 16 can only be detected in a defined, specific developmental stage in an early phase of root formation. That is, identifying and separating the pad-like tissue 16 is only possible from the appearance of the bony alveolar fundus to the end of the formation of the root of the tooth.

Abstract: A press for laminating together a pair of foils has an upper die and a movable lower die, the foil extending. An actuating plate is movable toward and array from the stationary die. A spring is provided between the actuating plate and the movable die. A drive displaces the actuating plate and the movable die carried by the spring thereon toward and away from the stationary die for compressing the foils between the dies when the dies are spaced apart by a predetermined distance equal substantially to a thickness of the foils. A sensor detects movement of the movable die toward the actuating plate with compression of the spring on movement of the actuating plate toward the stationary die. When the sensor detects movement of the movable die when the dies are spaced apart by a distance greater than the predetermined distance the actuating plate is arrested.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing flat fish is disclosed. The fish (5) are placed on a conveyor (1) and transported on a conveying surface (1.1) over an array of photosensing elements (3.4) which generate light absorbtion signals as the fish is advanced. These signals are sent to a computer, which determines the contour of the fish using information regarding the conveyor speed and computes cutting control signals using pre-programmed proportionality factors relating to the fish species. The cutting line control signals are sent to a cutting apparatus (4). As the advanced fish arrives at the cutting apparatus, two rotary knives (4.1) cut into the dorsal and ventral sides of the fish in response to the control signals to remove the dorsal fin together with a strip of fatty tissue (5.12) from one edge of the fish and the internal organs, the anal fin and the ventral strip of fatty tissue (5.11) from the other edge of the fish.

Abstract: An installation for processing flatfish, in particular for severing the head, and, if necessary, the tail thereof, comprises a feeding device (1), means for aligning the fish and means for conveying the same in rest position on one of their sides through the operative area of processing tools. The installation can be characterized in that the conveying means (13) is provided with entrainers (14) which engage the fish at its flank remote of that lying on the support surface (16), and are controlled to turn about an axis which is perpendicular to said support surface (16). Each fish is taken over by the entrainer (14) with attention being paid to a detected measured value with respect to its size such that the point of engagement of the entrainer is uniform independent of the size.

Abstract: The sealing and cleaning apparatus for an ink head consists of an electromotively driven endless band, on which two wedge-shaped wiping lips are arranged. For cleaning and sealing, the nozzle head is brough a close distance in front of the endless band, a surface of the endless band not provided with wiping lips serving as spraying surface for the squirting-out of the ink head. A cleaning device of wiping edge or cleaning roller removes the ink on the endless band. For covering in breaks in recording, the endless band has, furthermore, a depression formed by bulges, which is brough into contact in front of the nozzle plate or covering. For sealing, a convexly formed flexible pad, which is arranged between the endless belt, is pressed by means of a pressure-applying device against the endless band and cosequently against the nozzle plate. Due to the convex form, no air entrapment can occur in the region of the nozzle plate.
