Abstract: A first and a second object (1 and 2) are joined with the aid of a joining element (8) comprising at least in the region of its distal and proximal end (8.1 and 8.2) a thermoplastic material. Two blind holes (5 and 6) facing each other are provided in the two objects (1 and 2) and the joining element (8) is positioned in the blind holes such that its distal and proximal ends (8.1) are in contact with the bottom faces of the blind holes and such that there is a gap (9) between the two objects (1 and 2). This assembly is then positioned between a support (3) and a sonotrode (4). The sonotrode (4) and the support (3) are forced towards each other, while the sonotrode (4) is vibrated, thereby liquefying at least part of the material having thermoplastic properties, there, where the joining element ends (8.1 and 8.2) are pressed against the bottom faces of the holes (5 and 6) and allowing the liquefied material to infiltrate into pores of the hole surfaces or unevennesses or openings provided in the hole surfaces, such anchoring the joining element ends (8.1 and 8.2) in the objects (1 and 2). For achieving suitably similar anchorage qualities at the two joining element ends (8.1 and 8.2), the distal end (8.1) of the joining element (8) has a smaller face area and comprises less thermoplastic material than the proximal end (8.2) of the joining element.

Abstract: A dock leveler includes a pivotally extendable lip coupled to a pivotal deck by way of a front hinge, wherein the structure in the area of the front hinge optimizes the torsional flexibility of the deck; provides a well supported, durable crown (apex angle between an extended lip and the deck); and reduces the part count of the dock leveler. The front hinge includes a deck-hinge member that extends approximately the full width of the deck and is preferably formed from a single sheet of material. A particularly narrow front header or flange disposed along the front edge of the deck reinforces the relatively thin deck plate so that the plate's rigidity more closely matches that of the thicker lip, yet the flange is sufficiently small to allow the deck to twist so that the deck can place the tip of the lip squarely upon a sideways inclined truck bed.

Abstract: There is described a method for operating a radio network for transferring data between several subscribers, in particular, between devices of process instrumentation in an automation system. At least one first subscriber communicates in a telegram the requests thereof relating to the frequency of the data transfer to other subscribers in a starting phase. During network optimization, a configuration device determines, in the radio network and according to the frequency of the requests of other subscribers, at least one communication partner to which a connection comprising the frequency of the data transfer, which is adapted to the other subscribers, is established. As the periods of data transfer are planned, it is possible to switch off the communication interface of the first subscriber in the pauses and also, to save energy.
