Abstract: The invention relates to a floating paddlewheel aerator for aerating water or clearing basins. The paddlewheel aerator includes a frame ( 1 ) of elongated floats ( 2, 3 ), which are substantially arranged at a right angle to each other and are linked with each other in a T or H configuration. On a first float ( 2 ), further floats ( 3 ) or sections of floats are mounted on both of the first float's opposite ends. The first float ( 2 ) has a top which is turned upwards by 90° compared to its lateral sides on which further floats/float sections ( 3 ) are mounted and carries a drive unit ( 9 ). This drive unit ( 9 ) is mounted completely or partially on the floats, and its output shaft ( 10 ) projects outwardly from both sides parallel to the longitudinal extension of the further floats/float sections ( 3 ). Paddles ( 22 ) are disposed on the output shaft ( 10 ) and in the operational state of the aerator, when the floats float on the surface of the water or clearing basin, the shaft rotates above the level of the water or clearing basin, and sections of the co-rotating paddles are immersed in the liquid.

Abstract: A piezoelectric drive that is used to create a relative movement between a first and a second body on a plane of movement. The drive includes a flat metal sheet ( 1 ) that forms, or is secured to, the first body and that is arranged parallel to the plane of movement. The metal sheet ( 1 ) has a rest region ( 3 ) and at least one resonator area ( 4 ). An elastic spring area ( 5 ), which is parallel to the plane of the metal sheet, is disposed between the rest region ( 3 ) and the resonator area ( 4 ). A flat, rectangular piezoelement ( 6 ), which can be excited in a 3,1 mode, is coupled to a longitudinal axis (A) such that the longitudinal axis of the piezoelement ( 6 ) lies essentially on a longitudinal axis of the resonator area ( 4 ). The resonator area ( 4 ) protrudes above the piezoelement ( 6 ) in the direction of the longitudinal axes (A), and forms a tapered horn shape ( 7 ). The second body ( 2 ) is positioned relative to the sheet metal ( 1 ) such that the at least one resonator area ( 4 ), with an edge area that is disposed at the top of the horn shape, is pressed against a surface ( 10 ) of the second body ( 2 ), which is oriented in an essentially oblique manner relative to the plane of the sheet metal ( 1 ), by prestressing the spring area at a point of contact.

Abstract: A method for intelligent control includes an exchange of historical parameters of events for operating a system and operating a hoist where an electric motor, preferably a DC-motor, is used for lifting and lowering a lifting belt. It can take place at different speeds by registering amperage through the motor and to perform a switching between fast and slow speed when a given current level is reached. The change in hoisting/lowering speed is achieved when a control unit changes the voltage supplied by the battery unit to the DC-motor or changes the frequency of power supply to an AC-motor. The method makes it possible to control the system and to optimize the hoisting/lowering speed for the lifting belt depending on the load thereon.

Abstract: A system for the wireless transmission of information and energy between a removable vehicle seat and the vehicle body, in which the vehicle seat is detected by measuring the inductance. In this connection, the period of an oscillating circuit is determined, in which the winding of the primary side, and thus the inductance, is connected. In this context, the frequency of the resonance voltage is determined as a function of time. In this context, the zero crossings of the resonance voltage is measured. Alternatively, the secondary side impedance is additionally measured on the primary side by a forced oscillation, namely by a voltage decay in a resonance circuit in which the winding is connected as inductance. A monitoring of the performance reliability of a firing pellet is thereby implemented.

Abstract: A circuit for regulating the power provided to a load connected to an output of a power amplifier. The circuit includes an amplitude detector that outputs a voltage corresponding to the amplitude of the signal outputted by the power amplifier. This output voltage is a function of the impedance of the load. Thus, when the impedance of the load changes, the output voltage also changes. Given a constant current into the load, it is the load impedance that determines the power delivered to the load. Therefore, because the output voltage reflects changes in the impedance of the load, the output voltage can be used by a regulator circuit to maintain a constant output power, regardless of changes in the impedance of the load.

A ribbon-shaped region defined in a spiral on the body by the weakened line includes a major ribbon section having an axial dimension larger than an axial dimension of an end ribbon section defined, adjacent to a tearing-start end, between the weakened line and one axial end of the body. When the core member is arranged in the end region of the elastic tube member, the ribbon-shaped region of the body with around three coils, including the end ribbon section and the major ribbon section, is accommodated inside the end region.
