Abstract: In a method and an evaluation device for determining the position of a structure located in an object to be investigated by means of X-ray computer tomography, a cutting data record, which images the object in a cutting plane, is determined from a volume data record of the object. The cutting data record is binarized to form a binary data record, in which the structure voxels imaging the structure and the surface voxels imaging an object surface are determined. To determine the position, a distance data record is produced in such a way that a distance value, which characterizes the smallest distance of the respective distance voxel from the surface voxels, is assigned to each distance voxel of the distance data record. The distance voxels corresponding to the structure voxels are then determined and the associated distance values evaluated.

Abstract: A modular, shielded enclosure engineered to provide structural security for information technology (IT), data, and telecom equipment is provided. The enclosure is composed of individual periphery shields locked together to create an airtight, thermal resistant, fire resistant, waterproof, hermetically sealed facility. In addition, a series of penetration management devices (PMD) and a control panel can be deployed. The enclosures are infinitely configurable independent structures, and may be expanded, reduced, or relocated with ease to give end-users the flexibility needed to manage the ever-changing, highly specialized IT facility.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of and a device for the manufacture of dimensionally stable, liquid-impermeable, flexible, elastic pressbands, particularly for use with broad-nip shoepresses of paper making machines. The method comprising pouring a flowable mixture of a prepolymer onto a substrate moved by a distance maintaining device over a cylindrical mandrel and maintained during this movement in an adjustable distance from the surface of said mandrel, and being coated during this movement by a coating device with a flowable prepolymer, wherein during this coating of the substrate threads or wires are laid down onto the substrate in the direction of rotation of the mandrel and are coated with the polymer substance.

Abstract: In a modular-design toy system for preparing buildings, vehicle and landscape structures etc., comprising building elements of plastic material, which are releasably attachable to each other by snap-fastener connecting elements, provision is made, with a view to obtaining a true-to-nature appearance at a reasonable cost and durable and constant snap-fastening properties, for connecting elements having first snap-in elements on one side for the easily releasable attachment to corresponding first locking recesses on the building elements and having second snap-in devices on the other side for the hard-to-release attachment to corresponding second locking recesses of the building elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of impermeable, flexible, elastical bands having a smooth inner surface and consisting of a plastic fabric, including spiral bands and mats of threads, which bands are especially suited for use in connection with an extended nip of wet presses of paper making machines. These bands are used as press bands or press coates and are manufactured by applying a mixture of a prepolymer, especially polyurethane, in a flowable consistence to an endless fabric band and joining that mixture thereto, which band is transported over a reverting roll device and is coated by means of at least one nozzle on its outer surface with the flowable prepolymer mixture.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a rotary screening machine for moving pulp suspension through a screening slot and for separating impurities from the pulp suspension. An annular rotatable drum is surrounded by an annular porous screen basket that is spaced away to define a screening slot. Pulp suspension is delivered to one axial end of the slot and is discharged from the other axial end of the slot. Generally wedged shaped vanes, widening in the axial direction between the leading and trailing ends of the vane, are provided around the drum. The wedge defining surfaces may also be inclined with respect to a respective plane perpendicular to the axis. The space between the wedge surfaces is an open volume. A wall in that space is oriented to help create appropriate vacuum and eddy conditions behind the vane. The drum may have different zones, with the lower zone being provided with vanes and the upper zone being generally smooth. Other types of vanes or projections may be provided in the intermediate zone.
