Abstract: A door which can be automatically opened and closed can have an additional releasable connection for allowing the door panels to be manually opened by disengaging the door panels from the device for automatically opening and closing the doors. In particular, two-panel doors which execute a combined sliding and rotational motion around a vertical axis of rotation during the closing and opening motion can be configured with such a device to make it possible to use the doors in evacuation and emergency routes, i.e. routes in which a manual force can be applied from inside to open the door panels. Further, so that the door does not remain open, there can also preferably be switches or circuits in the construction which indicate that a manual opening of the door panels has occurred, in which case an electronic signal can be generated to place the drive device in motion, to thereby automatically restore the connection between the door panels and the drive system.

Title: Process and apparatus for the removal of waste metabolites from a metabolite-containing solution
Inventor: LEHMANN HANS-DIETER
IPC: B01D15/00
Filed: 1979-12-21
Granted: 1984-12-20
Abstract: A device for the removal of waste metabolites, especially nitrogenous poisons, from for example a hemofiltrate from a patient who suffers from uremia. The device comprises three columns (8, 9, 17), which are packed with activated carbon (10, 11 and 18), and of which two (8, 9) are parallelly coupled to each other. These two columns are adapted to be alternatingly cooled and warmed for adsorption and desorption, respectively, while the third column (17) is adapted to be permanently cooled. While one (18) of said two columns (8, 9) is cooled and throughflown by hemofiltrate for adsorption the other one (9) is exposed to warming (desorption), flushing and precooling. When said one column (8) is saturated with waste metabolites (urea) the hemofiltrate flowing is switched over so that said hemofiltrate is passed through the other, precooled column (9), whereby said first column is kept at rest and then in turn warmed, flushed and precooled. By regenerating one of the two parallelly coupled columns at the same time as the other column is used for adsorption the total treatment time for the removal of between 20 and 30 grams urea can be reduced to 3-4 hours. 
<??>The device conveniently comprises a disposable tube set (1-6,8,9,12-14,17) interconnecting said three columns (8,9, 17) and being adapted to be attached to a patient (7). Said tube set as well as said columns are to be disposed after a whole in treatment.

Patent DE-3375336-D1 (DE)
Title: Apparatus for automatically tracking the optimum working point of a d.c. voltage source
Inventor: ASSBECK FRANZ DIPL ING
IPC: G05F1/67
Filed: 1983-03-08
Granted: 1988-02-18
Abstract: Solar generators, fuel cells and similar d-c voltage sources have a current-voltage characteristic, on which at one point ("maximum power point" MPP) the maximum power can be taken from the d-c voltage source. In an arrangement, in which a d-c voltage source feeds a consumer through a controllable power converter, the optimum operating point is automatically set by setting a reference value for the voltage or the current into the converter, and impressing a supplemental reference value temporarily thereon as a disturbance variable at certain time intervals. If due to the impression, the output power of the d-c voltage source increases, the reference value is adjusted in the direction of the supplemental reference value. If, on the other hand, the sign of the power change is negative, the reference value is changed opposite to the sign of the supplemental reference value. After a finite number of reference value changes, the instantaneous operating point is this brought to the optimum operating point. Since the sign of the power change is determined through evaluation of the derivative with respect to time of the actual power value, the amplitude of the disturbance variable can be chosen very small, so that the operation of the consumer is not impaired.
