A system for compacting waste includes a trolley and a cabin monument. The trolley or the cabin monument has a compacting device. The compacting device includes a cover with a bellows that is arranged on the lower face of the cover and is designed to be movable between a folded-together position, in which the bellows interior has a first volume, and an unfolded position, in which the bellows interior has an enlarged second volume. By suctioning fluid from a container interior formed in the trolley by means of a first cover channel arranged in the cover of the trolley, the bellows can be moved into the unfolded position such that the bellows protrudes far enough into the container interior that the waste container and/or waste in the waste container is compacted.

A system includes a vehicle monument, a hose with a fluid line, and an adapter with a triggering unit and a housing, which has a fluid connection. The fluid connection couples to a fluid mating connection, wherein the monument has a fluid main valve and a control unit for controlling the fluid main valve, an inlet of the fluid main valve couples to a fluid suction source, and a first end of the hose connects to the monument such that a first end of the fluid line is coupled to a first outlet of the fluid main valve. A second end of the hose is connected to the adapter such that a second end of the fluid line is coupled to the fluid connection, and the control unit controls the fluid main valve based on a triggering signal from the triggering unit.

A bale forming apparatus including a bale forming device providing a bale forming chamber, a rotatable driving member, a shaft, and a free-wheel clutch provided between the shaft and the rotatable driving member. The shaft drives at least temporarily the rotatable driving member. The free-wheel clutch transfers a rotation of the shaft onto the driving member. The rotated driving member drives at least one part of the bale forming device. The bale forming device forms a bale in the provided bale forming chamber. At least one time the rotatable driving member is rotated with respect to the shaft. The free-wheel clutch enables this rotation of the rotatable driving member.

A pressure intensifier, arrangement in an aircraft or spacecraft including a device driveable by a driving pressure difference, aircraft or spacecraft, and method. A pressure intensifier has a motor part with motor-part-side fluid inlet and motor-part-side fluid outlet and a pump part with pump-part-side fluid inlet and pump-part-side fluid outlet. The pressure intensifier, as a positive-displacement machine with at least one rotatable rotor, is driveable by a motor-part-side fluid flow from the motor-part-side fluid inlet to the motor-part-side fluid outlet for conveying pump-part-side fluid flow from the pump-part-side fluid inlet to the pump-part-side fluid outlet. An arrangement in an aircraft or spacecraft includes a device driveable by a driving pressure difference and includes a vacuum booster. An aircraft or spacecraft has a pressure intensifier of the type and/or an arrangement of the type, and a method is disclosed for operating a device in an aircraft or spacecraft.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a press-type strapping machine configured to strap a load when both the height of the load falls within a target height range and the compressive force applied to the load falls within a target compressive force range.

A refuse collection apparatus is disclosed. A refuse collection apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention a main body unit into which a refuse is inserted, a refuse compression unit installed in the main body unit and configured to compress the refuse inserted into the main body unit and a movement range detection unit located inside of the main body unit and configured to detect a movement range of the refuse compression unit.

A waste material compaction device includes an auger cone; a support means located inside the auger cone and fitted to a container; an auger flight arranged on an outer surface of the auger cone; a first bearing located adjacent the connection of a base skirt of the auger cone and a second bearing positioned significantly inside the auger cone; and an electric motor and a gearbox for providing drive to the auger cone and auger flight such that waste material placed in the container is compacted in a predetermined direction.

A waste compaction system for a vehicle includes a moveable trolley for storing waste, and a docking station integratable into a cabin monument for inserting the trolley. The trolley includes a housing having an opening for inserting waste, a vacuum waste compacting mechanism inside the housing and a first suction port accessible from outside the housing, the first suction port being couplable with the vacuum waste compacting mechanism. The docking station and the trolley are adapted to each other such that the trolley is engageable with the docking station, and wherein the docking station includes a second suction port couplable with a suction line in the vehicle and the first suction port. Resultantly, a lightweight and efficient waste compaction system is provided, which allows moving the trolley for collecting waste inside a cabin of the vehicle.

A method for the operation of a self-propelled agricultural working machine has at least one working element and a driver assistance system for generating control actions within the working machine. A sensor arrangement for generating surroundings information is provided, and the driver assistance system generates the control actions based on the surroundings information. The sensor arrangement comprises a camera-based sensor system and a laser-based sensor system, each of which generates sensor information regarding a predetermined, relevant surroundings area of the working machine. The sensor information of the camera-based sensor system is present as starting camera images. The starting camera images are segmented into image segments by an image processing system according to a segmentation rule, and the segmented camera images are combined by a sensor fusion module with the sensor information from the laser-based sensor system.

A receiving and handling mechanism includes: an insert opening; a supply channel for passing the container to a handling device of the mechanism which is driven by a drive and is configured to handle the container; and an outlet. A rechargeable battery powers at least the drive of the handling device. The battery is powered by an external energy source, e.g. a renewable energy source. The method includes: predicting an availability of the external energy source, e.g. a source of solar energy; and adapting the operation of the device based on the predicted energy availability, so as to decrease the energy use of the device in case of a lower predicted energy availability and to increase the energy use of the device in case of a higher predicted energy availability.
