| 20080238445 | Measuring Device For Measuring the State of Oils or Fats - A measuring device is used to measure the state of oils or fats. Said measuring device comprises a housing, a hollow connecting element which is secured therein and a carrier which is applied to the opposite end of the connecting element, said carrier being used to receive a sensor which can be used to measure the electric property of the product which is to be measured, in addition to a sensor which can be used to measure the temperature of the product which is to be measured. The two sensors are in contact with the evaluation system by means of at least one electric line, which is arranged in the region of the housing and/or on the end of the connecting element oriented towards the housing. The temperature sensor is arranged at a pronounced distance from the connecting element and the sensor in order to measure the electric property of the product which is to be measured. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20100005881 | PROTECTIVE DEVICE FOR A HUMIDITY SENSOR IN AN AGGRESSIVE ATMOSPHERE - A protective device for a humidity sensor protects the sensor from aggressive substances in a fluid to be analyzed. The protective device for the humidity sensor comprises a protective cap having openings that are covered with a membrane in such a manner that mass transfer between a measuring medium present in the environment and the interior of the protective cap can only take place through the membrane, said membrane including a plastic material which is highly permeable to water vapor, has high thermal stability and high corrosive resistance. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100172391 | Method for Testing a Frying Oil Tester - A method for testing a measuring device is used to determine a permittivity of a frying fat which permittivity is inter alia dependent on the temperature, while taking into consideration the temperature. The method is characterized in that the permittivity is measured at least two different temperatures and the temperature dependence is determined and is used to make a statement on the ability to function of the measuring device. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110030486 | DEVICE FOR GAUGING THE STATUS OF A MATERIAL ESPECIALLY OF OILS OR FATS - The invention is a device for gauging the status of a material such as a fat or an oil. The device comprises: a housing; a hollow connecting element; a substrate, attached at the opposite end of the hollow connecting element; a sensor, proximate the substrate, for measuring an electrical property of the material being tested; a protective coating, wherein the protective coating covers the sensor and can be applied using either a thin-film or a thick-film technology; and, an electronic evaluation unit connected via at least one electric line to the sensor; and, is arranged proximate the housing and/or proximate the end of the connecting element that faces the housing. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20090026022 | WHEEL CHOCK SYSTEM - A wheel restraint for restraining a vehicle at a loading dock includes various features such as, a wheel chock supported by a spring loaded articulated arm with a spring that can be selectively tightened or released, a sensor that detects whether the chock is solidly against a base plate or floor, a bi-directional pivotal joint between the articulated arm and the wheel chock to ensure that the chock can sit squarely on a mating base plate, a wheel chock that meshes with a hydraulically actuated base plate, pivotal or otherwise movable backstops that prevent a wheel chock from sliding out of position, and a base plate cleaning system. The cleaning system might include a vehicle-actuated brush, fluid spray nozzles, electric heater and removable cover plates. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090205146 | FORMED FRONT HEADER FOR A DOCK LEVELER - A dock leveler includes a pivotally extendable lip coupled to a pivotal deck by way of a front hinge, wherein the structure in the area of the front hinge optimizes the torsional flexibility of the deck; provides a well supported, durable crown (apex angle between an extended lip and the deck); and reduces the part count of the dock leveler. The front hinge includes a deck-hinge member that extends approximately the full width of the deck and is preferably formed from a single sheet of material. A particularly narrow front header or flange disposed along the front edge of the deck reinforces the relatively thin deck plate so that the plate's rigidity more closely matches that of the thicker lip, yet the flange is sufficiently small to allow the deck to twist so that the deck can place the tip of the lip squarely upon a sideways inclined truck bed. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100146719 | LIGHTING AND SIGNALING SYSTEMS FOR LOADING DOCKS - A safety system for a truck loading dock with an elevated platform provides an alarm that warns of a hazard at the loading dock such as a forklift operating inside the truck or a falling hazard that may exist due to the dock door being open while a truck is not present at the dock. In cases where a dock's open doorway is protected by a barrier that can be opened or closed, the alarm can be de-activated by closing the barrier. In some examples, the safety system includes a remote body sensor that detects when someone or something is near the doorway. In response to the body sensor, a second, more pronounced alarm can warn of more imminent danger where someone on the platform may be too close to an open doorway when a truck is not present. | 06-17-2010 |
