Abstract: The present disclosure provides a foot support device for a footwell of a vehicle. The present disclosure includes a plurality of support elements arranged one behind the other and rotatably connected to one another. The plurality of support elements can each move from a rest position to an active position upon the detection of a predetermined driving situation. When set in the rest position, the plurality of support elements are each arranged parallel to the floor of the footwell, and when set in the active position, the plurality of support elements are each inclined with respect to the floor of the footwell to support at least one foot of an occupant. The foot support device includes a drive arrangement lifting at least a foremost support element to the active position, which causes movement of a subsequent support element.

Abstract: A brushless dc external-rotor motor having a hollow cylindrical heat sink fastened to the peripheral border region of a printed circuit board. Power semiconductors are arranged on an inner cylinder wall of the heat sink in a heat conducting manner, and the cylinder wall forms part of the peripheral border of the stator flange in the motor. A connector fastens Hall generator(s) on the circuit board and provides the electrical connection with the circuit board. The connector can be soldered along with all other electronic components in a joint soldering process, wherein a subassembly of a preassembled circuit board and a heat sink fastened to its periphery and carrying the power semiconductors passes through a solder bath to solder all components in a single soldering process. It is subsequently necessary only to plug the Hall generator or generators onto the connector or connectors soldered onto the circuit board.

Abstract: The invention relates to a collectorless direct-current external-rotor motor (2), which includes a stator (6) with stator windings (12) fastened to a motor flange (4), an external rotor (14) enclosing the stator (6) on its side facing away from the motor flange (4), as well as an electronic circuit arrangement (18) driving the stator windings (12). This circuit arrangement (18) has a conductor plate (24) provided with electronic components (22) arranged adjacent to the flange-side facing the stator (6), as well as several power semiconductors (28) electrically connected to the conductor plate (24), arranged in heat-conducting contact with the motor flange (4). The power semiconductors (28) are joined indirectly by an annular disk-form cooling body (40) to the motor flange (4) to provide a heat-conducting effect. The cooling body (40) forms a preassembled component with the conductor plate (24) and a carrier element (42) which support the conductor plate (24).

Abstract: The invention relates to filaments, fibers, pulps, films and sheets from a copolyamide which has at least the recurring structural units of the formulaeA --OC--AR--CO--B --NH--Ar'--NH-- ##STR1## and in which the diamine components B, C and D relative to the total amount of diamine components in mol-% are within a predetermined domain. Such copolyamides can be produced from the corresponding diamines and dicarbonyl dichlorides in aprotic solvents in the presence or absence of metal halides of the first or second group of the periodic table. The spinning solutions obtainable therein can be processed in conventional manner into the claimed shaped structures.

Abstract: DC inert-gas welding apparatus with variable welding current has an automatic controller for reducing the welding current during the various stages of the welding process. The decrease in current is controlled by a single contact of a stepping circuit. A limit switch responsive to the output voltage of the welding apparatus controls the stepping circuit. The circuitry includes a variable search current adjusting resistor and a variable crater filling current adjusting resistor: these resistors are mutually independently variable, and the latter is connected to the tap of a potentiometer for adjusting the welding current. A variable ratio voltage divider connects the stepping circuit via a storage capacitor to the current setting circuit.

Abstract: Permanently flame-resistant synthetic linear polyesters are obtained by irporating by condensation into the polyester composed of the usual dicarboxylic acid and diol units an alkylphosphine oxide of the formula ##SPC1##Wherein the radicals R to R.sub.4 represent organic radicals of which R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and Z may be substituted by 2 hydroxyl groups altogether, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may also represent hydrogen and a is zero or a whole number of from 1 to 4. The flame-resistant polyesters are processed into shaped structures such as fibers, filaments, sheets, injection and compression molded articles characterized by good flameproofness and dyeing properties.
