Abstract: A sensor for verifying value documents is designed to determine a luminescence characteristic of a value document that is moved past the sensor for verification purposes, and the provision of a velocity correction of the luminescence characteristic of the value document in the sensor, resulting in a distortion of the measured luminescence intensities. A reference sensor is used to determine an average velocity dependency of the luminescence characteristic of a reference medium, said average velocity dependency being averaged over both opposite directions of movement and being used to determine a velocity dependency of a corrective factor for the luminescence characteristic. Said determined velocity dependency is used to determine the corrective factor for the luminescence characteristic, said corrective factor applying to the velocity of the movement of the value document during the verification process, and the luminescence characteristic is then corrected by said corrective factor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a checking unit for checking a material web and to a calibrating method for the checking unit. The checking unit is equipped with drive means for transporting the calibration medium past the checking unit in order to detect a multiplicity of measurement values of the calibration medium. The drive means are arranged in the housing of the checking unit in order for the drive means to be protected from moisture or contaminants from the environment. To obtain a transporting of the calibration medium past the checking unit in spite of the arrangement of the drive means in the housing, drive means are employed that are configured for a contactless interaction with the calibration medium and can transport the calibration medium past the checking unit contactlessly. For this purpose there is preferably used a magnetic interaction between the drive means and the calibration medium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle restraint system (1) for delimiting roadways, including base bodies (3) that can be detachably coupled to each other, wherein the base bodies (3) can be placed on a road surface (4) and have at least one weighting body (5). The weighting bodies (5) are formed by a outer casing (6), which is filled with a curable filler (7). Provided on the weighting bodies (5) are fasteners (8) which project out in relation to the weighting body (5), wherein the weighting bodies (5) can be fastened in the base body (3) by means of the fasteners. The vehicle restraint system (1) stands on the road surface (4) by means of support feet (19). The support feet (19) include a main body (20) and an elastomer body (21).

Abstract: A vehicle restraint system for delimiting roadways includes guide barriers (1) which are detachably placed next to each other. Each guide barrier (1) includes a housing-like base body (3) which can be set up on the ground (2) on pedestals (24). A pedestal (24) includes a metal main body (25) and a ground-facing elastomer body (26) connected to the main body (25). The pedestal (24) can be detachably fastened to the main body (3) by way of a connecting element (27), wherein the connecting element (27) interacts with an abutment (29) on the main body (25). In particular, rubber-metal elements or buffers are used as pedestals (24).

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle restraint system provided for delimiting roadways and including guide barriers (1) which are placed next to one another in a detachable manner. Each guide barrier (1) includes a housing-type base body (2) that can be placed upright on the ground and a guide rail (14) arranged above the base body (2). The guide rail (14) and the base body (2) can be coupled together by means of tension rods (19), wherein each tension rod (29) is connected to the guide rail (14) with an upper end (20) and can be tightened at a bottom end (22) in an abutment (23) arranged in the base body (2). The guide rail (14) and the base body (2) are suitably arranged at a vertical distance from one another by spacers (30), with the tension rod (19) extending through the spacers (30).

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle restraint system for demarcating roadways, including guard rails (1) that are detachably placed next to each other. Each guard rail (1) includes a housing-like base body (3) that can be arranged on the ground and a guide bar (2) disposed above the base body (3). Each base body (3) includes a tongue (9) at a topside (8). Each guide bar (2) at a bottom (7) has a groove (17), wherein the groove (17) during coupling engages in the tongue (9) of a base body (3), thereby creating a formfitting tongue and groove joint (60) between the guide bar (2) and base body (3).

Abstract: A guardrail run with a rail is arranged along and substantially parallel to a roadway. The rail is made of consecutively arranged round timber sections with abutting end sections. Each round timber section includes a metal band disposed in a vertical groove extending along the bottom side. The timber sections are releasably attached to posts anchored alongside the roadway. A locking plate having a U-shape configuration with two legs connected by a web overlaps with the ends of the metal bands of two adjacent timber sections. The ends of the metal bands are received between the two legs of the locking plate, thereby coupling the metal bands with one another.

Abstract: An extraction forceps for upper molars is disclosed, including a pair of arms each having an end portion. Each end portion has a tooth-engaging jaw formed with two claws defining between themselves a recess. The arms are pivotally connected so that the jaws can pivot relative to one another in two laterally spaced planes about a pivot axis which extends skew to an imaginary line passing through the recesses of the two jaws.
