| 20090241585 | REFRIGERATOR WITH PRESSURE EQUALIZATION VALVE - A refrigerator including a housing with a chassis and a door enclosing a chilled interior; and a pressure equalization valve extending through a wall of the housing thereby facilitating an inflow of air from the surroundings into the interior and thereby blocking an outflow of air from the interior into the surroundings, the refrigerator comprising, a wall having a throughbore formed therein in a parallel flow arrangement with the pressure equalization valve, through which air can pass in two directions, wherein the flow of air is less than that of the airflow through the pressure equalization valve in the throughflow direction and greater than that of the air leakage value of the pressure equalization valve in the blocked direction. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100186437 | COOLING DEVICE HAVING A CONDENSATION WATER CHANNEL - A cooling device having a housing, an ice passage that extends through a wall of the housing, and a condensation water channel that extends from the outer end of the ice passage downward in the interior of the wall. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100200621 | ICE DISPENSER - A device for removing condensation from an ice duct of an ice dispenser for a refrigerator. The device may include a flap, which is arranged to seal an output opening of the ice dispenser and a controller for the flap, which is designed to move the flap between a closed position, in which the inner side of the flap contacts the edge of the outlet opening and a dispensing position in which the flap is withdrawn from the edge of the outlet opening to permit the dispensing of ice cubes. Further, the controller is designed to open the flap after expiry of a first time period, during which the flap is not moved by the action of a user or by the controller and to close the flap after expiry of a second time period. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100218538 | ICE-CRUSHING UNIT FOR AN ICEMAKER - An ice-crushing unit having a shaft, a plurality of axially-spaced stops disposed on the shaft, and a plurality of cutter sets provided on the shaft. A first cutter set may be rotationally fixed on the shaft and a second cutter set may be rotatable with the shaft or fixed to a housing. In an exemplary embodiment, the second cutter set is clamped in a longitudinal direction of the shaft by at least one spring acting in the longitudinal direction. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20090048524 | IMPLANTABLE PRESSURE MEASURING UNIT AND CONFIGURATION FOR INTERNAL PRESSURE MEASUREMENT IN A BLOOD VESSEL - Implantable pressure measuring unit for internal pressure measurement in a blood vessel or heart of a patient, having a pressure sensor having electrical signal output, fixing means adapted to the intended measurement location for fixing the pressure sensor, a power supply unit of the pressure sensor, a signal detection unit connected by a line to the signal output of the pressure sensor, and a transmitting unit connected to a measurement data output of the signal detection unit, in particular for wireless transmission of measurement data to an analysis unit, in particular outward from the patient body. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090318998 | CONFIGURATION AND METHOD FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DATA OF A PLURALITY OF PROGRAMMABLE PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES - The invention relates to a configuration and a method for the management of data of a plurality of programmable personal medical devices. The configuration comprises a first plurality of personal devices, a second plurality of patient devices each calibrated to at least one personal device, a third plurality of programming devices each calibrated to at least one personal device, a central management unit, a service center, and a management database. The patient devices and/or the programming devices are controlled using management data, upon establishment of the existence of a communication between the management unit and the patient device and/or a programming device, on the basis of this establishment and on the basis of stored management data, specific management data being transmitted to the patient device and/or programming device. | 12-24-2009 |
