Abstract: An apparatus for the production of nanoparticles is provided. The apparatus includes a main tube that is closed at a bottom, an inlet channel arranged within the main tube and includes a first opening to the outside of the apparatus and a second opening to the main tube, and a main opening in the main tube. The main tube includes a sample position at the bottom, the cross section of the main tube at the sample position is smaller than at other positions of the main tube, and the second opening of the inlet channel is arranged closer to the sample position than the main opening. Furthermore, an arrangement for the production of nanoparticles and a method for producing nanoparticles are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a locking and inclination-adjustment assembly for locking and adjusting the inclination of a part, especially a pivotable backrest (R, R1, R2) of a vehicle, comprising a lock striker (30) arranged on the car body and a lock (S) arranged on the part, said lock (S) being joined to the lock striker (30) when in a locked position (I, II) and being detachable from the lock striker (30) when in an unlocked position (III). It is provided that the lock (S) arranged on the part has rotary catches (10, 20) with corresponding locking pawls (15, 25), whereby the part can be moved and locked in several reversible latching positions (I, II) on the lock striker (30) that engages with the lock (S), and the part can be moved into the unlocked position (III) separately from the lock striker (30).

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seal (100) having a tilt adjustment device, more particularly as a component of a rear row of seats of a motor vehicle, comprising a backrest and a seat part (12A), which is movably arranged about a horizontal pivot axis (Y1) for setting the seat tilt independent of the backrest by means of a seat tilt adjustment device, wherein the pivot axis (Y1) runs between a moving cushion part (12A-1) and a fixed cushion part (12A-2). It is provided that the tilt adjustment device has an upper support plate (40) and a lower support plate (30), wherein the moving cushion part (12A-1) rests on the upper support plate (40), wherein an actuator (50), arranged between the support plates (30, 40), can effect a movement of the upper support plate (40) relative to the lower support plate (30), whereby the moving cushion part (12A-1) can be moved from an essentially flat un-raised position into a tilted raised position.

Abstract: A windbreak arrangement for a cabriolet includes a windbreak arch of bipartite construction in the transverse direction of the vehicle consisting of a first, driver-side windbreak arch member and a second, passenger-side windbreak arch member. The driver-side windbreak arch member is mounted on the driver's seat and the passenger-side windbreak arch member is similarly mounted on the passenger seat. Additionally, each windbreak arch has a curtain cassette with a curtain capable of being extended horizontally as a windbreak curtain over the region behind the corresponding front seat, providing a good variable windbreak function with easy access to rear seats.

Abstract: A safety arrangement for a vehicle includes a gas cushion arranged for the protection of a passenger in a back seat in the event of a side collision. In order to protect the hip and chest regions of the passenger effectively, as well as the head and shoulder regions, the back rest is divided into a side part and a center part. The side part is attached to the vehicle side wall and contains the gas cushion which is inflatable by a gas generator.
