A prosthetic socket, comprising a base for distal connection means for attaching a prosthesis component to the prosthetic socket and comprising at least one side wall, which extends from the base in the proximal direction and at least partially extends around a stump to be held in the prosthetic socket, and at least one support for fastening the side wall to the base being arranged on the base.

Prosthetic socket

A machine () for processing a liquid food substance () includes: a container () having an outside wall (″) and In delimiting a food cavity (') for containing the food substance (); an impeller () for driving the food substance () in the cavity (′); a housing () having an outside wall and delimiting a powered cavity (′) that is adjacent the container () and that contains a motor () for driving the impeller () and a thermal conditioner () for managing heat in the food cavity (′); and a control unit () for controlling the impeller motor () and the thermal conditioner (). The thermal conditioner () has different first and second sections () extending over different first and sections of the outside housing wall (″″). The first and second conditioner sections () are configured to generate different levels of thermal energy per cm. The first and second housing sections are adjacent to and extend over respective distinct first and second outside container wall sections () and/or form therewith a same first wall section and a same second wall section distinct from the same first wall section.

Adjusted thermal generation for food processing

A machine () for processing a liquid food substance () includes: a container () delimiting a food cavity (') for containing said liquid food substance (); an impeller () for driving the food substance () in the food cavity (′); a housing () delimiting a powered cavity (′) that is adjacent the container (). The powered cavity (′) contains: a motor () for driving the impeller (); a heat evacuation system () for evacuating heat from the powered cavity (′) to a space () outside such machine (), comprising a motorized ventilation arrangement (); and a control unit (). The motorized ventilation arrangement has a first ventilation device () driven by the impeller motor (). Further to the first ventilation device () and to the impeller motor (), the motorized ventilation arrangement comprises a second ventilation device () and a further motor () that is different to the impeller motor (), the further motor () being controlled by the control unit () to drive the second ventilation device ().

Controlled heat management for food processor

A machine () for processing a liquid food substance incorporates: a container () delimiting a cavity (') for containing said liquid food substance; an impeller () for driving the liquid food substance in the container (); a motor () for driving the impeller (); a motor chamber () for containing the motor (); and a means for evacuating heat from the motor chamber (). Such means comprises one or more movable members () that are driven by the motor () and that are configured to circulate air () in the motor chamber () to evacuate heat therefrom.

Heat management for food processor

A prosthetic socket system comprising a prosthetic socket and a liner, said prosthetic socket having a distal end region, at least one socket wall extending therefrom in proximal direction, and connection means for securing a prosthetic component. The socket wall, when in the applied state, at least partially enclose a stump that is received in the prosthetic socket The liner includes a proximal entry opening and a lateral wall which extends in the distal direction, at least partially surrounds a stump when in the applied state and is arranged between the stump and the prosthetic socket when in the applied state. A coupling device is arranged between the liner and the prosthetic socket in the distal end region, and, on the outer side of the lateral wall of the liner and on the inner side of the socket wall, resistance regions are arranged or formed which interact with one another and which counteract a movement extracting said liner out of the prosthetic socket, in the proximal direction.

Prosthetic socket system, and prosthetic socket and liner

A machine () for stirring a liquid food substance has: a container () delimiting a cavity () with a bottom () and a peripheral wall () for containing the liquid food substance to be stirred; an impeller () comprising an impelling member () which is configured to be rotated in the cavity (), the impeller () including an arrangement of driven magnetic elements () in the form of permanent magnets; and a motor () having an output shaft () that is magnetically coupled to the impelling member () via the container bottom () and/or peripheral wall () for driving the impelling member (), the output shaft () driving an arrangement of driving magnetic elements (') that cooperate magnetically with the driven magnetic elements () so as to drive the impeller () in rotation. One of the driven magnetic elements () is positioned to: generally face a first driving magnetic element () in a generally attraction orientation relative to said one driven magnetic element (), the first driving magnetic element () driving this one driven magnetic element () in rotation; and be off-set relative to a second driving magnetic element (&#x2032;) in a generally repulsion orientation relative to the one driven magnetic element (), the second magnetic element (&#x2032;) driving the one driven magnetic element () in rotation.
