Abstract: A method for determining a mutual distance between two objects in a pipeline. The method includes the steps of: providing a pipeline which is filled with a medium having an acoustic impedance different from that of the material of the pipeline and/or a medium present outside the pipeline; providing each of the two objects with a clock; synchronizing the clocks; periodically transmitting an acoustic signal from a first to a second one of the two objects; measuring the reception time of the acoustic signal; determining the delay time from the first to the second object; and calculating a traveled distance of the signal between the two objects on the basis of a propagation speed of the acoustic signal in the medium and the measured delay time of the acoustic signal.

Abstract: A production device for performing a blow molding, charging, and sealing process for plastic containers has a first type of molding device ( 10 ) into which a tube of plasticized plastic material may be introduced. The molding device ( 10 ) of the first type may be rotated to individual spatially separate stations ( 22, 24, 26 ) about an axis ( 20 ). One station ( 24 ) performs the function of blow molding of the container. Another station ( 26 ) charges and seals the blow molded container. Simultaneously a tube of plasticized plastic material can be blow molded for production of the plastic container and a corresponding container produced in this manner at the other station can be charged with the medium, in particular one in the form of a fluid, and to seal it. The cycle times may be reduced in comparison to cycle times of production devices of the state of the art so that the rates of output of charged containers sealed under sterile conditions to be produced may be significantly increased.

Abstract: A zinc/air cell having thin walled cup shaped anode casing and cathode casing. The cell may be a button cell having an anode comprising zinc and a cathode, which may be catalytic, comprising manganese dioxide. The anode and cathode casings have small wall thicknesses, preferably between 2 and 5 mil (0.0508 and 0.127 mm), desirably between about 2 and 3 mil (0.0508 and 0.0762 mm). There is an insulating seal ring covering at least a portion of the anode casing side walls. During cell assembly the cathode casing side wall is pushed over at least a portion of the anode casing side wall with insulating sealing disk therebetween. A tight interference fit is achieved with the outside diameter of the anode casing plus insulating seal thereon being preferably between about 2 and 4.5 mil (0.0508 and 0.114 mm) greater than the inside diameter of the cathode casing. This reduces the tendency of the casing side walls to spring back after crimping.
