Abstract: For controlling a motion sequence of a machine element, with which the control of the motion sequence of the machine element is carried out based on a functional relationship between a master shaft and a slave shaft, the functional relationship IS ascertained with consideration for several conditions of this motion sequence. The functional relationship includes at least one first section, which is defined by an nth-order polynomial, and at least one second section, which is at least partially separated from the first section, and which is defined by an ath-order polynomial. In this case, “a” is less than “n”.

Abstract: An eccentric transmission having an imbalance compensation element (10a-10e) and having an eccentric element (12a-12e) for converting a revolving rotary motion of an armature shaft (14a-14e) into an oscillating rotary motion of a drive shaft (16a-16e) in order to drive an insert tool (40a-40e) of a hand-held power tool (18a-18e) to oscillate. The imbalance compensation element (10a-10e) is integral to another functional unit (12a-12d, 14e).

Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting head (1), comprising a lower and an upper shears blade (2, 3), for an electric hair cutting machine (4). The lower shears blade and the upper shear blade (2, 3) are connected to each other, whereby a cutting blade (5), made from a planar material (7), is driven in oscillation in a slot (31) between the lower and the upper shears blade (2, 3) and is provided with cutting teeth (6).
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for regulating the flow of a liquid or gaseous medium, having a valve housing (11), which has at least one valve inlet (15, 16) and a valve outlet (17) as well as at least one valve opening (18, 19), located between the two and surrounded by a valve seat (21, 22); having a valve member (23) controlling the valve opening (18, 19); and having a valve member actuating device (14), which has a valve closing spring (36) and an actuator (37) operating counter to the valve closing spring. For creating a robust device with a long service life, and in which the valve member actuating device (14) is hermetically separated from the medium, the valve member (23) has a closing body (24), cooperating with the at least one valve seat (21, 22), and a frame (25), separated from the medium, for engaging the valve member actuating device (14), which frame surrounds the closing body (24) and is solidly joined to it.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pulse valve (10) with a closing body (18) that cooperates with a valve seat (22) and, in a first switching position, establishes a flow connection between a supply channel (12) and a discharge channel (14) and, in a second switching position, blocks the flow connection. The closing body (18) periodically alternates between the two switching positions during the actuation of the pulse valve (10), its movement being hydraulically damped by a throttle point (70). It is provided that the hydraulic damping occurs only in a subrange of motion (62).
Abstract: The method provides an improved quartz glass body, especially an improved quartz glass crucible for melting non-metals, non-ferrous metals, or silicon. The quartz glass body is made by a method in which a quartz glass-water mixture is supplied to a gypsum casting mold comprising an outer part and an inner part, dried in the gypsum mold, and put under an overpressure via a system of ducts in the form of textile tubes embedded in the mold during the drying. Later a resulting green glass body is removed from the mold. At least a portion of the shaping surfaces of the inner part of the gypsum mold are surfaces of a water-impermeable substance. The method provides a cast body with a reduced tendency to crack and with a smaller open porosity.
