Abstract:
In an electric motor having a housing and a rotor for installation in a drive train, the housing includes centering elements which retain the rotor centered in the housing for facilitating mounting of the motor to the drive train, the centering elements being movable out of their centering position during assembly and being retained out of contact with the rotor as long as the motor is installed but being released to assume their centering position whenever the motor is removed from the drive train.
Abstract:
A media cartridge for use with data storage libraries. The cartridge includes a housing having an opening through which a carrier tray can be loaded and extracted to reveal a media element. A number of baffles are included to limit exposure of the media elements to contamination.
Abstract:
A communication system permitting temporary connections for specific, predictable data transfer performance is presented. The communication system includes a requesting computer system, a responding computer system, and communication paths for establishing connections between the requesting computer system and the responding computer system. The requesting computer system can establish a temporary initial control connection with the responding computer system through a first communication path. A temporary negotiating connection is established with the responding computer system. Data transfer characteristics are negotiated with the responding computer using the temporary negotiating connection. A temporary data connection is established through a set including at least one communication path based on the negotiated data transfer characteristics, the set not including the first communication path.
Abstract:
A filter with housing including a filter element (12) shaped as a round cartridge, a housing (10) and a housing lid (11). The housing has a raw air inlet (19) and a clean air outlet (20). The clean air outlet is provided with a connecting support (16) on which the filter element (12) is arranged. The filter element has a radial gasket on its side that faces the connecting support and is guided by the housing at its side opposite from the connecting support.
Abstract:
A bollard includes a bollard post having a lamp which includes a louver stack. The louver stack includes louvers spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the bollard post. The bollard post is rectangular in cross section and the louver stack extends outwardly beyond the periphery of the bollard. There is a primary light source inwardly of the louver stack and a mechanism for providing light downwardly about the base end of the bollard post. One such mechanism includes an LED providing a light wash down the bollard post from beneath where that louver extends outwardly of the periphery of the bollard post. A second mechanism employs a top reflector above the primary light source to reflect light downwardly about the light source. Bottom reflector surfaces direct the light from the top reflector outwardly to louver reflectors located beneath the lowermost louver. Such reflectors can reflect light downwardly for light wash of the bollard post and an illumination about the base of the bollard post. The spacing between the lowermost louver and the periphery of the bollard post is exposed to the primary light source to create additional light downwardly to about the bollard post.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system of sliding elements which are formed by a base body and a counter-body. It is the object of the invention to provide a system of sliding element comprising a base body and a counter-body which has a reduced mass with a sufficient strength and which achieves improved properties of friction and wear. The system of sliding elements in accordance with the invention is formed by a counter-body and a base body as friction partners. The base body is formed from a fiber-reinforced polymer material and the counter-body is coated with diamond-like carbon at the surface subject to friction. At least the base body is formed from a textile-reinforced polymer matrix structure.

Abstract:
System and method for parallel selection and retrieval of data stored in an optical data storage medium. A holographic data storage medium has a plurality of data sites, each data site containing a plurality of data units recorded as multiplexed holograms. A plurality of light beams are independently controlled to illuminate a different one of the plurality of data sites for selecting and retrieving any one data unit stored at each of the plurality of data sites. The invention enables the simultaneous selection and retrieval of data units stored at a plurality of data sites of the holographic data storage medium, and permits an increase in optical data transfer rate.
