Abstract

A sealing arrangement for sealing a first region from a second, oil-filled region on a rotating component, including a sealing ring with a first sealing flange, a second sealing flange and a connecting region. The sealing arrangement includes a grounding element arranged on a rear side of the connecting region and that electrically connects the rotating component to a stationary housing. The sealing arrangement includes a gap seal arranged between the first sealing flange and the grounding element. A first space between the sealing ring and the gap seal provides a collecting space for oil from the second region. The gap seal maintains a gap to the rotating component ensuring protection of the grounding element from oil and supplying oil to the grounding element depending on a gap height to allow contact lubrication between the grounding element and the rotating component without functionally restricting electrical properties of the grounding element.

According to the invention, the control unit (3) has: a device for determining the electrical power consumption (E) of the heating device; and at least one reference curve (R) stored in the control unit (3). The invention also relates to a method for operating a cleaning device (10), wherein the electrical power consumption (E) is compared with a reference curve (R) stored in the control unit (3) in order to determine the degree of scaling in the heating device (2) and, depending on the result of the comparison, information is output to the device user, namely a request to perform necessary descaling. This can advantageously ensure a long service life and a high cleaning performance of the cleaning device.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a fastening device for fastening an assembly in an opening of a wall of a vehicle. The fastening device (10) has a support element (12), which is designed for bearing against the wall and comprises an upper side and an underside, intended for bearing against the wall, has at least one retaining element (14), which is arranged on the underside of the support element (12) and is intended for fastening the fastening device (10) in the opening of the wall, has a connector region (16), which is arranged on the upper side of the support element (12) and is intended for attachment of a connector, and has a blocking means (18) for preventing attachment of the connector to the connector region (16). The blocking means (18) is designed to prevent the attachment of the connector as long as the fastening device (10) is not fastened to the wall, i.e. is in an unmounted state. The blocking means (18) is also designed as a lever, which is connected by at least one lever arm (180) to the support element (12) by way of a pivot point (182). When the fastening device (10) is mounted on the wall, a second part (186) of the lever (18) is moved in a specified target direction during the fastening on the wall, and the first part (184) of the lever is thereby moved in such a way that the blocking means (18) exposes the connector region (16).

Abstract

A molded article includes a polymer matrix of crosslinking an aliphatic polyketone with at least one diamine source as a crosslinking agent to form imine groups. The diamine source is selected from the group consisting of di(aminophenyl) compounds in which the two aminophenyl rings are linked to each other through an aliphatic group having a carbocyclic residue, diamine compounds, saturated alicyclic compounds having at least two primary amine groups, and oligo-/polymers containing these incorporated, and mixtures thereof. The molded article further includes at least one flame retardant.

Abstract

The invention relates to a wound-contact layer, comprising a sterile nonwoven provided for contact with the wound, wherein the nonwoven does not contain any antimicrobially active substances selected from the group consisting of silver, iodine, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), honey, hydrogen peroxide, copper, antibiotics and mixtures thereof, or contains antimicrobially active substances selected from the group consisting of silver, iodine, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), honey, hydrogen peroxide, copper, antibiotics and mixtures thereof only in an amount of less than 1 wt.%, in each case based on the total weight of the nonwoven, wherein the nonwoven contains composite fibres comprising polyolefin, which fibres are at least partly slivered and strengthened to form slivered fibres having an average fibre diameter of at most 10 µm.

  • A61F 13/00 - Bandages or dressingsAbsorbent pads
  • D04H 1/46 - Non-woven fabrics formed wholly or mainly of staple fibres or like relatively short fibres from fleeces or layers composed of fibres without existing or potential cohesive properties the fleeces or layers being consolidated by mechanical means, e.g. by rolling by needling or like operations to cause entanglement of fibres
  • D04H 3/105 - Non woven fabrics formed wholly or mainly of yarns or like filamentary material of substantial length characterised by the method of strengthening or consolidating with bonds between yarns or filaments made mechanically by needling
  • D04H 3/147 - Composite yarns or filaments
