Abstract: In connection with a screw-type connection made of a plastic material for leading in, leading through, sealing and strain-relieving cables, lines, or the like, comprising an intermediate connecting piece with sealing body and a cap nut, the hollow cylindrical intermediate connecting piece carrying coaxially arranged clamping tongues which press the sealing body against the fitted cable when the cap nut is turned, it is proposed that the cap nut or the intermediate connecting piece be provided with catches arranged preferably in uniform distribution over the circumference and projecting towards the other part so that a preliminary fixing effect can be achieved between the cap nut and the intermediate connecting piece by mere exertion of pressure. The catches form in this case sort of an elastic preliminary thread, and the cap nut can be screwed on further immediately from its pre-assembled position. Further, projecting retaining ribs are provided on the inner faces of the clamping tongues in the ring of clamping tongues which serve to fix the sealing body provisionally in position during insertion thereof.

Abstract: A programmable fault injection tool (PFIT) for the testing of the diagnostic capabilities of a computer or digital processing system (16) is disclosed. The PFIT is made up of event compare hardware (13) and error injection hardware (14). 
     The event compare hardware of the PFIT is user pro­grammable through menu-driven software to compare a particular stored event, either a digital word or sequence of words, with an event measured within the system under test. The stored event can be changed by the user under program control so as to provide a generalized fault injection tool (11). In addition, the tool includes a mask memory (58) that allows certain bits in an word to be masked, or ignored, when the state of the bit within the word is inconsequential. 
     The error injection hardware (14) of the PFIT is con­trolled by the event compare hardware (13) to inject faults by short circuiting voltage nodes within the system under test to ground or a supply voltage. The error injection hardware will inject the fault for a user specified time duration and only after a user specified time delay.

Abstract: The device has a chamber (5) whose inner space (21) is sub-divided in one upper region by a separating wall (19) into two part-spaces (23, 25), and has a conveying mechanism (63) with which liquid substrate (121) containing microorganisms can be conveyed from the first part-space (23) through the second part-space (25) in an upward direction so that it falls back into the first part-space (23) via an overflow edge (29) at the upper end of the separating wall (19). To carry out aerobic microbiological processes, oxygen-containing gas is passed into the circulated substrate (121) between the conveying mechanism (63) and the overflow edge (29) by means of a gas distributor (51). The fact that the gas is only introduced into the substrate when the latter has passed through the conveying mechanism (63) allows even very large amounts of gas to be introduced per unit time without hindering the conveying action of the conveying mechanism (63). <IMAGE>
