The device (1) has a combustion air intake (10) lying in an airflow (17) of a moving motor vehicle (3), where the combustion air intake is attached to an adjustable air guiding element (11) for an adjustment of combustion air dynamic pressure produced by the airflow. The combustion air intake has an air intake cross-section that is adjustable by an adjustment in the size of the air guiding element...

The invention deals with a method and an equipment to degrade the natural structure of a lignin containing fibre based material and/or to dissolve the lignin and other components partially or totally by using essentially lactic acid, lactic acid oligomer or the aqueous solution of these, in a continuous process in a way that the dissolving and the degradation of the components to form fragments ha...

Several quality-aware transcoding systems and methods are described, in which the impact of both quality factor (QF) and scaling parameter choices on the quality of transcoded images are considered in combination. A basic transcoding system is enhanced by the addition of a quality prediction look-up table, and a method and system for generating such table are also shown.

An opening and closing device (1), particularly for an overhead door leaf (2) that is associated or associable with a frame (3) that is rigidly coupled to a fixed structure and comprises at least one first rod (9) which, at a first end (9a), is pivoted proximate to an upper lateral end (5a) of the frame (3), and at least one vertical guide, which acts as a seat for the free sliding of at least one...

A medical connector (18) has a visual signal (67) formed by a coloured screen- applied band arranged on a bolt (63). In a correct engaged position of the bolt (63) with an external element, the signal is visible. In an incorrect engaged position, the part of the bolt (63) bearing the signal is lowered, so that the signal is hidden from view, providing an indication of a faulty situation. The medic...

The upgraded photovoltaic system comprises at least a photovoltaic cell, a management unit suitable for distributing and/or storing the electricity generated by photovoltaic effect by the photovoltaic cell, a power line connecting the management unit to the photovoltaic cell, and a monitoring unit suitable for detecting the malfunction, tampering and/or theft of the photovoltaic cell.

A product vending machine comprising a support structure (2) defining an internal compartment (3); at least a storage compartment (4) inside the internal compartment (3) and comprising a plurality of shelves (9) for containing the products (5); a collection compartment (10) for receiving a selected product (5a); transport means (13) of the selected product (5a) for moving the selected product (5a)...

A rotating machine operated along an axis (3a) by a motor (3), for extraction at room temperature of puree or juice from animal or vegetable food, comprises an inlet duct (1) where the animal or vegetable food (2) is loaded, for example fruit or vegetables, conveyed by a feeding screw conveyor not shown. The food pulps of the products (2) are loaded in frozen condition and enter then a shredding s...
