Abstract: Key information is stored in a memory of a chip card for the purposes of partial personalization. For a complete personalization, an instruction sequence definition and an instruction sequence designed for a chip card application and including instructions to be carried out by the chip card are transmitted to the chip card. A check which is secured by the key information is carried out for each chip card instruction to determine whether the chip card instruction satisfies the instruction sequence definition, and if it does, the chip card instruction is carried out by the chip card.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement, in particular for pipe connections to the exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, with a sealing support and at least one sealing element in the form of a ring element (25) that forms a mold seal, is characterized in that a holding device (27) that produces a frictional connection between sealing support and ring element (25) is provided to secure the latter captively to the sealing support.

Abstract: The invention is a device for coupling ultrasonic waves into a medium via a boundary surface, including at least one ultrasonic-wave transducer unit, which couples ultrasonic waves into the medium via a coupling medium provided between the ultrasonic-wave-generating unit and the boundary surface. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic transducer unit are directed into a closed volume, which is provided with at least a first opening and a second opening. A flow of gas, ensures an overpressure inside the closed volume and simultaneously is the coupling medium. The flow of gas is directed into the interior of the volume through the first opening and exits the second opening which directly faces the boundary surface.

Abstract: A manually-operated valve is provided in series with an electromagnetically-operated valve and the manually-operated valve is provided with a proximity detector connected to the electronic controller whereby a switch in the manually-operated valve, in one position of the single control lever therefor, corresponding to about 50% of maximum supply rate, is operated to activate the proximity sensor and enable the water flow to be controlled by an object within its detection range. Removal of the object, e.g. the hand of the user from the range, will shut off the water through the manually-operated valve. Outside the position of the lever at which the switch is operated, the proximity detector is ineffective and control is effected exclusively by swinging the lever.

Abstract: A valve having an input and two outputs is provided with a stem extending radially from and pivotal about a transverse axis from a middle position to one end position directing flow from the input to one of the outputs and to an opposite end position directing flow from the input to the other of the outputs. A valve actuator assembly has a sleeve fixed to the valve and having a rim annularly surrounding and spaced from the stem and lying in a plane generally parallel to the axis and a handle fixed to the stem above the rim and forming a guide extending substantially parallel to the stem. A latch element having an outwardly projecting arm is displaceable in the guide between a rest position with the arm engageable with the rim and blocking displacement of the stem into the one end position and an actuated position unengageable with the rim and permitting displacement of the stem into the one end position.

Abstract: A diverter valve has a housing forming an inlet for pressurized fluid and a pair of separate outlets connectable to respective users. A valve disk fixed in the housing is centered on an axis and has to one side of a diameter through the axis two axially throughgoing outlet ports each communicating with a respective one of the outlets and to the other side of the diameter an axially throughgoing inlet port communicating with the inlet. The ports are spaced about the axis and centered on a circle itself centered on the axis. A valve disk sitting on the fixed valve disk is movable in the housing about the axis. This movable valve disk is formed with a pair of axially throughgoing holes spaced about the axis and centered on the circle.

Abstract: With pneumatic feeding of fibers to the fiber collection surface of an open-end spinning element, an auxiliary air stream flowing from the immediate proximity of the feeding device to the inlet into the fiber feeding channel is produced and is sufficiently strong so that it removes circling fiber fragments which have been detached from the opener roller. For this purpose, an air conveying channel is provided in the area between the inlet opening of the fiber feeding channel and the feeding device (as seen in the direction of rotation of the opener roller) in the peripheral wall of the housing. This air conveying channel extends from the immediate proximity of the opening in the housing containing the feeding device in housing to the inlet opening of the fiber feeding channel.

Abstract: In conveying fibers (20) pneumatically to the fiber collection surface of an open-end spinning element, the fibers (20) fed into the fiber feeding channel (4) are detached from the wall (42) of the fiber feeding channel (4)which follows the fiber-guiding peripheral wall (12) of the opener roller (10) preceding the fiber feeding channel (4) and are fed to the zone of high flow speed. For this purpose the concave peripheral wall (12) preceding the fiber feeding channel (4) merges via a convex surface (41) of such configuration and length into the wall (42) of the fiber feeding channel (4) that a tangent (43) applied to the end of the concave peripheral wall (12) preceding the fiber feeding channel (4) intersects the opposite wall (420) of the fiber feeding channel (4).

Abstract: A device for the storage of a yarn of limited length spun on a spinning machine, comprising a suction pipe and a yarn storage chamber. The suction pipe is connected to a negative-pressure line and serves to seize the yarn by means of suction air. The yarn storage chamber is located between the negative pressure line and the suction pipe. The yarn can be aspirated into the yarn storage chamber and can be drawn off once more in the direction opposite to the direction of aspiration. The yarn storage chamber is located in a body which is rotatably mounted.In the process for the storing of the yarn, the yarn is seized by the stream of suction air and is sucked through the suction pipe into the yarn storage chamber. The yarn is accumulated against the screen surface of the yarn storage chamber until the stream of suction air in the suction pipe is weakened to a point where additional aspiration of more yarn is prevented.

Abstract: An ultrasonic test head including an oscillating crystal (1). A damping body (2) is mounted on the side of the crystal which faces away from the sonic beam direction. The damping body includes a plurality of sound-conducting and sound-absorbing lamellae (3, 5) which are stacked alternately on one another and each have one side thereof coupled to the oscillating crystal (1) thereby providing a high acoustic impedance as well as a high acoustic absorption.

Abstract: A device for recovering cleaning particles from a liquid stream after it has traversed a heat exchanger, comprises a pivotable inclined sieve and a baffle plate upstream of an outlet and the lower edge of the sieve for generating between the plate and the sieve a vortical flow which induces the particles to flow downwardly along the sieve to the outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a collecting device for cleaning members at the outlet of a heat exchanger, which is directly connected or, after passing through spacers or a bend, is reached by the flow from the outlet. In order to avoid speed peaks, in the often inhomogeneous flow, an intake aid is provided at the discharge point of the outlet, which is intended to render to flow uniform. As a result the screens conventionally used in the collecting device can have a smaller angle of inclination, which has an advantageous effect on the space requirements and the manufacturing costs.

Abstract: To set the proper location of a cutting bit, an optical scanner directs an optical beam toward a screen. The scanner is mounted on a base frame. The cutting bit is mounted on a cutting head holder which is, in turn, mounted on a support stage, the latter being vertically adjustable on the base frame. The cutting head holder is adjustable relative to the support stage and the measuring point. The support stage carries three support bodies for the rear side of the cutter head holder.
