Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector including a body having a helix configured to change circumferentially in response to a change in force applied to the connector, the connector characterised in that the helix has at least one portion with a tapered circumference.

Abstract: A floor covering comprising a first layer of elastomeric material and a second layer of elastomeric material. Both of the first and second layers being provided with fillers, where the fillers are chosen in such a way that, when subjected to a temperature change, the second layer has a greater coefficient of expansion at least in one direction than the first layer. A further layer is arranged between the first layer and the second layer.

Abstract: A method for producing a two-dimensional rubber covering, in particular a floor covering, comprising the following steps: preparing an unvulcanised rubber material, mixing a filler into the unvulcanised rubber material, converting the rubber material into a two-dimensional state, and crosslinking the rubber material in the two-dimensional state. The method includes that the filler contains particles of glass, porcelain, earthenware and/or stoneware. Also, a covering produced in the described manner.

Abstract: Rubber compound containing at least one nanoscale, magnetic filler and at least one non-magnetic filler. Vulcanizable mixture containing the rubber compound and at least one crosslinking agent and/or vulcanization accelerator. Molding obtainable from the vulcanizable mixture by heat treatment or action of an electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic alternating field.

Abstract: A shoe with a permanent magnet including a basic body having a magnetic North Pole and a magnetic South Pole and being elastically deformable solves the problem of realizing a shoe which is able to provide its wearer with information about the material properties and the condition of the shoe.

Abstract: A particle composite including carrier particles having an average diameter of less than 5 ?m. The particle composite is surrounded by a layer made of oxidic material having an irregular surface. Particles, which are made of an active material and which have an average diameter of less than 1 ?m are applied to the layer. The particle composite can be used as a filling substance in polymers and enables the content of active material for comparable properties to be reduced or improves the properties of filled materials, e.g. resistance to aging of elastomers.

Abstract: A floor covering is provided having a high slip resistance and including a base material which is substantially in sheet or tile form and is made of an elastomeric material and which has a slip-resistant surface containing granular particles. In order to provide ease of manufacture and processing of the floor covering, the granular particles are composed of a polymeric material having a hardness significantly greater than that of the elastomeric material.

Abstract: A composition including a) rubber, b) crosslinking agent, c) metals and/or chalcogenides of metals as crosslinking aids and/or antiaging agents is described, wherein at least one of components b) or c) is in the form of composite particles composed of carrier particles to whose surface particles of the active material having an average diameter of less than 25 ?m are applied and layers thereof having an average layer thickness of less than 25 ?m and/or conglomerates of multiple carrier particles to whose surface particles of active material having an average diameter of less than 25 ?m are applied or layers thereof having an average layer thickness of less than 25 ?m and d) optionally other conventional additives. The composite particles make it possible to lower the active material content while achieving comparable properties or improving the aging resistance of elastomers and/or increasing productivity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite particle made of carrier particles having an average diameter of less than 5 ?m. Said particle composite is surrounded by a layer made of oxidic material having an irregular surface.
