An operation unit of a treatment tool for an endoscope includes a first joining member configured to be joined to a rear end of a flexible sheath of the treatment tool, a second joining member configured such that the first joining member is fitted therearound rotatably around an axis line of the first joining member relative to the second joining member, and a pin fit hole formed between the first joining member and the second joining member such that a pin is fitted therein, the pin fit hole being configured to restrict rotational movement of the first joining member around the axis line relative to the second joining member when the pin is fitted in the pin fit hole.

A modular ductwork assembly decontaminates an air stream circulating within a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The assembly includes one or more of (a) an ionizing module for removing particulates from the air stream, (b) a sterilization module for neutralizing airborne pathogens present in the air stream, (c) an ozone treatment module for neutralizing pathogens or odoriferous or gaseous constituents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the air stream, optionally (d) baffles for slowing and disrupting the flow rate and promoting turbulence in the air stream traveling through the modules, optionally (e) a fan module for directing a treated air stream, optionally (f) an ozone sensor, optionally (g) a monitoring or ozone control means, and optionally (h) a means of delivering and repurposing generated ozone. Each of the modules is arranged substantially adjacent to at least one of the other modules.

In a door closing procedure, an aircraft passenger door is pivoted from an open position to a pivoted-in position, shifted to a closed position, locked into a locked condition, and then secured into a secured locked condition. A control method and arrangement for controlling the closing procedure includes sensors that respectively each sense the completion of a respective allocated one of the steps of the closing procedure, and then responsively initiate the next following step of the procedure. The closing procedure is carried out in an automatic sequential step-wise manner using a simple robust arrangement, without requiring a computer control.

A rotary conveyor comprises a rotatable drum-shaped shell, an eccentric axle located in the drum-shaped shell, finger supports mounted to the eccentric axle, and a plurality of fingers mounted to the finger supports that extend outwardly through openings in the drum-shaped shell. The finger supports are rotatively mounted to and spaced radially outward from the eccentric axle by annular bearings. The finger supports are parallel to the eccentric axle and are provided with a plurality of fingers, such that several fingers arranged next to one another in the axial direction are attached to finger supports. The finger supports are distributed around the circumference of the eccentric axle.

Disclosed is a filter device (10), particularly a liquid filter, comprising a filter element (16) that is disposed in a filter housing (12, 14) and a heater (28) for heating medium flowing through the filter device (10). The inventive filter device (10) is characterized in that the heater (28) is designed with at least one heating circuit (30) that is molded into the filter housing (12, 14). Alternatively or additionally, the heater (28) is designed with at least one heating circuit (30) which is provided with an electrical contact (34) in at least one of the final zones thereof, said electrical contact (34) being riveted to the heating circuit (28).

The invention relates to a combined radiation therapy and magnetic resonance unit. For this purpose, in accordance with the invention a combined radiation therapy and magnetic resonance unit is provided comprising a magnetic resonance diagnosis part with an interior, which is limited in radial direction by a main magnet, and a radiation therapy part for the irradiation of an irradiation area within the interior, wherein at least parts of the radiation therapy part, which comprise a beam deflection arrangement, are arranged within the interior.
