  • Patent number: 11918979
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for activating a photocatalytically active, for example titanium-dioxide-containing, outer layer (13; 23) deposited on a composite, by means of at least one element (14; 24) generating a radiation, for example for generating ultraviolet radiation. The following method steps are comprised here: •a) forming the at least one radiation-generating first element (14; 24) within the composite; •b) forming at least one sensor (16; 26) within the composite; •c) recording an actual value of a physical variable characterizing luminous radiation by means of the at least one sensor (16; 26), wherein the luminous radiation is emitted by a light-generating second element (15; 25); •d) comparing the recorded actual value with a first threshold value within an evaluation device and switching on the at least one radiation-generating first element (14; 24) if the actual value is below or above the first threshold value.

    Abstract: A derivative of phosphoric acid ester salt or adduct or a mixture thereof is obtained from a reaction product, polycondensed with at least one aldehyde, of at least one polyol phosphoric acid ester with at least one organic nitrogen base. The derivative is advantageously used as a flame-inhibiting and/or intumescent treatment in plastic mouldings, on porous carriers or in paint or coating systems. The production of the derivative or a mixture thereof by reacting at least one polyol with phosphorus pentoxide and reacting the polyol phosphoric acid ester obtained in that way with at least one organic nitrogen base forming a phosphoric acid ester salt or adduct, is characterized in that the amount of phosphorus pentoxide required for the esterification operation is suspended in an amount of the ester or ester mixture to be produced, then at a temperature in the range of 20–180° C.

  • Publication number: 20070047861
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a flange sleeve especially for a sliding bearing. A strip of material is cut into lengths corresponding to the later periphery of the flange sleeve. The strip section thus arising is rolled to form a hollow cylindrical sleeve with an open butt joint and a collar is placed around one or two sides. The open butt joint is expanded in the region of the collar to form a V-shaped slit. One or several recesses are made in the region of the later open butt joint on one or two of the longitudinal edges of the strip section.
