Abstract: A device feeds educts to parallel spaces separated from one another by way of a distributor unit. Outlets of the distributor unit are assigned to the spaces, and evaporator structures for the evaporation of liquid media are provided in the spaces. Each outlet of the distributor unit project into a space. The boiling point of the medium in the distributor unit is maintained above the temperature of the medium in the distributor unit.

Abstract: A catalyst element for a stacked reactor for generating hydrogen from hydrocarbons includes a catalyst disc of porous material and a solid connection element. The catalyst-side end of the connection element is at least partially enclosed by the catalyst disc and is connected to this disc. The catalyst-side end of the connection element may have a mediator layer that is joined to the connection element over the entire area by sintering, soldering, or adhesive bonding. The mediator layer is joined to the catalyst disc over the entire area by sintering. Attachment means are provided at the exposed end, which is remote from the catalyst, of the connection element.

Abstract: An arrangement comprising a bore-type hobbing cutter and a holding arbor wherein the bore of the hobbing cutter has ground cylindrical centering surfaces at its ends and the arbor has complementary seating surfaces and wherein the hobbing cutter is axially chucked on the holding arbor by means of axial chucking means, where a preferably sleeve-shaped cage is disposed between centering surfaces and has a thickness which is smaller than the radial distance between centering and seating surfaces, and has an outside diameter which is smaller than the inside diameter of centering surfaces, the cage supports, in a circumferential direction, at least a number of prechucking elements, which are preferably metallic and are in contact with the associated centering surface and the seating surface, and said diameter and the distance between the contacting points or contacting lines of prechucking members are slightly larger than the radial distance between centering and seating surfaces.

Abstract: A channel of a motor vehicle with a reinforcing insert. The channel serves as an essential load bearing structure of a motor vehicle. The channel is also served as a stable barrier to protect the passenger compartment in the event of a crash.

Abstract: Disclosed is method and apparatus for distributing a chemical over the surface of a substrate. The method includes depositing the chemical on a portion of the surface of a substrate near the center of the substrate. The method further includes controlling the temperature of the surface of a substrate so that the viscosity of the chemical is calibrated to cause the chemical to be deposited on the surface of the substrate in a substantially uniform manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is a temperature controlled dispense arm for dispensing chemicals in a spin coating machine. The temperature controlled dispense arm has a cooling portion containing cooling coils and a dispense arm base having chemical dispense passages. The temperature controlled dispense arm maintains the chemical dispense passages at a cooled temperature as determined by the cooling coils located in the cooling portion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a spinning chemical applicator for spin coating a work piece. The spinning chemical applicator includes a bowl having a base region and substantially curved walls. A chuck base having a chuck plate for holding the work piece, the chuck base and the chuck plate contained within an inner region of the bowl. A bowl covering lid being mounted on a top surface of the substantially curved walls. A plurality of upper venting holes being defined in the substantially curved walls, the plurality of upper venting holes defining a venting path to the inner region of the bowl. And plurality of venting drain holes defined in the substantially curved walls at an edge location that is substantially below each of the plurality of upper venting holes. The plurality of venting drain holes providing a venting and drain path for the inner region of the bowl.
