The object of the invention is to provide a method and a dispenser in which, compared with known dispensers, the fluid path design is simplified. The dispenser has a medium reservoir (19) containing a medium to be discharge during one discharge stroke of the dispenser (11). For this purpose a feed fluid flows through the medium reservoir and discharges the medium through a reservoir discharge opening. For producing a discharge stroke, the dispenser has an actuator (25), whose actuation at least indirectly leads to an impact spike (29) penetrating from the outside into the medium reservoir (19), so as to produce a connection between a pump (40) for a feed fluid and the medium reservoir. As a result of the pressure of the feed fluid flowing into the medium reservoir, at a point in the medium reservoir (19) differing from the entry point of the impact spike (29), an opening is formed.

A method and a device for capturing fingerprints with reliably high quality based on fingerprint scanners are disclosed. The invention finds a novel possibility for capturing fingerprints of sufficiently high quality in which comprehensible feedback information of the capture process is given in real time so that the user can undertake any needed corrections of finger placement without active guidance. This object is met according to the invention in that an image processing unit is arranged downstream of the capture unit and a two-dimensional display unit is associated with the capture unit. Depending on results of the fingerprints analyzed in the image processing unit, the two-dimensional display unit displays positive real-time depictions of the fingers placed on the capture surface from an image storage having a library comprising a plurality of animated finger position images for guiding the user in a simple manner.

A manually guided apparatus for collecting objects, especially fruits and nuts, including a pick-up drum rotatably mounted in the drum chamber of a housing. The drum is disposed approximately transverse to the direction of operation, and is rotationally driven by a drive unit. The housing has a wall section extending over the width of the drum approximately at the level of the outer diameter thereof. A ground support is disposed in the region of ends of the drum. A collection channel provides communication for picked-up objects between the drum chamber and a collection receptacle for receiving the objects. The wall section of the housing and the drum cooperate with one another such that objects are accelerated along the wall section toward the collection channel and are ejected out of the drum chamber along a trajectory into the collection receptacle. A handle is operatively connected to the housing for moving the housing in the direction of operation.

Apparatus for the motorized opening and closing of a motor vehicle body part which can be pivoted with respect to a vehicle body about a hinged lid axis includes a guide cylinder having a first end and a second end which can be coupled to the body at a pivot axis which is parallel to the hinged lid axis, a piston guided displaceably in the cylinder, and a piston rod having one end attached to the piston and an opposite end which protrudes from the first end of the cylinder and can be coupled to the pivotable body part at a distance from the hinged lid axis. A drive device drives first and second Bowden cables, which extend in parallel from the second end of the cylinder, to displace the piston in the cylinder. The first Bowden cable includes a sheath which is supported on the piston and a core which is fixed to the first end of the cylinder. The second Bowden cable includes a sheath which is supported on the second end of the cylinder and a core which is fixed to the piston.

A multi-stage hyper-velocity kinetic energy missile (HVKEM) uses a ‘missile in a missile’ architecture in which the HVKEM includes a 1st stage flight missile and a 2nd stage kill missile that includes a KE-rod penetrator. The flight missile cruises at a relatively low velocity (less than Mach 1.5, typically less than Mach 1) to conserve propellant (weight) and to allow for effective guidance and maneuvering until the missile is in close proximity to the target. When the missile is within the lethal range of the KE-rod penetrator, the kill missile separates and boosts to a much higher velocity (greater than Mach 3, typically greater than Mach 5) and flies unguided to impact the target in less than a second. Waiting to boost the KE-rod until “the last second” reduces the total propellant (weight) needed to deliver the KE-rod on target and simplifies the guidance. The missile may be configured for use with different platforms and different guidance systems but is particularly well suited for use with the existing base of TOW launch containers and platforms satisfying all of the physical, operational and CLOS guidance constraints while maintaining the performance of the KE-rod penetrator.

A dosing device for dispensing small-particulate pharmaceutical preparations has at least one chamber for receiving a larger amount of the preparation and a dosing unit. A rotary valve has at least one dosing chamber for receiving a defined dose of the preparation. The dosing chamber is moveable between a filling position and a dispensing position.

The twisting device constitutes the actuator for the adjustment device. The device is made of a plastic material carefully selected to assure that no softening agents or other volatile components will be released, which prevents drug contamination.
