Abstract: A tracked vehicle has a driven track suspension on each side of the hull, whereby the track suspension and the hull are connected by means of a vibration damping material. The track suspension is mounted on a U-shaped bridge element with lateral track supports with the use of a connecting floor plate, whereby each of the track supports is equipped with an electric drive motor as a track drive. The hull is suspended in the bridge element by means of vibration damping elements.

Abstract: A drive system for tracked vehicles has the drive engine and the electrical generator combined into one modular drive unit. The elements of the drive motor and generator can be integrated in the drive units in the form of modules. There are at least two drive units that are located one on each side of the vehicle housing in the vicinity of the chain or track shoulders.

Abstract: In order to be able to automatically locate and map ammunition over a large area without endangering the searching crew, ground-scanning sensors are mounted on a relatively light-weight, unmanned, remote-controlled vehicle which then travels over the area contaminated with ammunition. The controlled vehicle is controlled from, and the sensor signals are evaluated in, a second vehicle which is generally disposed in the immediate vicinity of the area being examined. The controlling vehicle, which is preferably armored, also accommodates the operating crew.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for controlling flow of fuel in a gas turbine has a fuel control unit which comprises piston pumps which have at least two piston elements working in opposite phase to one another, and which can be operated in opposite phase, so that the flow of fuel to the injector nozzle is sufficiently constant. This constancy of the fuel flow is thereby a function of the delivery frequency and the number of pump piston elements operating in parallel.

Abstract: Method of operating a gas turbine and a process and apparatus for starting a gas turbine. In this apparatus with a startup controller for a gas turbine, the amount of fuel injected by controlled dosing pumps is determined, whereby the amount of fuel injected can be regulated as a function of the difference between the injection pressure and the compressor pressure in the combustion chamber of the turbine, or at the compressor outlet.
