Method for activating metal surfaces to be phosphated

A method of activating a metal surface, such as a galvanized steel sheet, before a phosphating process, may involve bringing the metal surface into contact with an activating bath containing activating particles, which may be based on phosphate and/or titanium, dispersed in water. To alleviate or even eliminate the problems of poor adhesion of surface coatings to preferably electrolytically galvanized, phosphated metal strip, an additive that suppresses or at least slows agglomeration of the activating particles may be added to the activating bath. In some examples, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and/or sodium stearate may be added. Further, the particle size distribution of the activating particles present in the activating bath may be determined and the activating bath may be replaced or taken out of operation as a function of the particle size distribution of the activating particles.”

Latency reduction by adaptive packet fragmentation

A wireless broadband communications system and method that achieves reduced latency for high priority data when multiplexed with lower priority data for transmission over a TDD point-to-point radio link. The system prepares multiple data streams for transmission over a TDD radio link by buffering multiple data streams containing high and low priority packets in separate queues based upon their corresponding priority level. Each packet in the higher priority queues has a specified size, and a header defining the type of service provided and the packet destination. Next, the packets in the lower priority queues are fragmented to a reduced size based upon the data capacity of the link. The high priority packets and the fragmented, low priority packets are arranged in a sequence such that the high priority packets are transmitted first, and the low priority packets are transmitted when no data is buffered in any high priority queue.

Device and method for drying fermentation residues

In order to dry fermentation residues from biogas installations or liquid manure, a fermentation residue dryer (GT) has an evaporator (V) with a heating device (HV). The heating device (HV) can be heated by steam or hot water. Using a plurality of fermentation residue dryers (GT) it is possible to produce various installation configurations for efficient drying of different fermentation residues.

Applicator for cryoanesthesia and analgesia

A handheld cryoanesthesia or analgesia device for cooling a target area on cutaneous membranes, mucous membranes, and tissue of the mucocutaneous zone having an elongated body and a thermoelectric cooling system disposed within the elongated body. The thermoelectric cooling system is configured to physically contact and thermally couple the target area of the cutaneous membranes, mucous membranes, and tissue of the mucocutaneous zone to induce cryoanesthesia or analgesia. The thermoelectric cooling system includes a thermally-conductive cold tip, a thermally-conductive cooling power concentrator thermally coupled to the cold tip, at least one Peltier unit module thermally coupled to the cooling power concentrator, a heatsink thermally coupled to at least one Peltier unit module, a power source, at least one thermal sensor, and a controller operably outputting a control signal to the Peltier unit module to maintain a predetermined temperature.

DEVICE FOR BREATHING RESISTANCE TO PULLERS AT PRESSES

Das Ziel liegt in der Schaffung einer einheitlichen Loesung zur Vorabbeschleunigung der beweglichen Kissenmassen fuer die pneumatischen, hydropneumatischen und hydraulischen Ziehkissenwirkprinzipien in Verbindung mit einer hoeheren Wirtschaftlichkeit durch den Wegfall von Hilfselementen zur Reduzierung der Rueckzugskraft. Die Aufgabe besteht darin, mit einfachen, funktionssicheren Elementen vom Pressenantrieb aus eine allmaehliche Beschleunigung des Ziehkissens von Null bis auf nahezu Stoesselgeschwindigkeit bei pneumatischen Ziehkissen gegen die anliegende Kissenkraft bzw. bei hydropneumatischen und hydraulischen Ziehkissen gegen die bei Bewegungsbeginn wirkende Kissenkraft zu steuern. Erfindungsgemaess wird die Aufgabe dadurch geloest, dass im Steuerleitungssystem ein Teleskopzylinder mit einem Kolben und teleskopfoermig ausgebildeten Ringkolben angeordnet ist, wobei die Ringkolben durch den Pressenantrieb mittels Stempel betaetigbar sind. Die einzelnen Teleskopkolben werden durch die Abwaertsbewegung des Pressenantriebes nacheinander beaufschlagt und verdraengen ihrerseits das Druckmittel in den fuer steuerbare Ziehkissen bereits vorhandenen Sperrzylinder. Die zu beschleunigenden Kissenmassen werden dabei durch die Wirkflaeche des Sperrkolbens je nach Anzahl der Teleskopkolben in Stufen von der Ruhelage auf eine Geschwindigkeit nahe der Stoesselgeschwindigkeit beschleunigt. Fig. 1 The aim is to provide a uniform solution for the advance acceleration of the movable cushion masses for the pneumatic, hydropneumatic and hydraulic Ziehkissenwirkprinzipien in conjunction with a higher efficiency by the elimination of auxiliary elements to reduce the return force. The task is to control with simple, functionally reliable elements of the press drive from a gradual acceleration of the die cushion from zero to almost Stoesselgeschwindigkeit at pneumatic die cushion against the applied cushion force or hydropneumatic and hydraulic die cushion against acting at the beginning ...
