Abstract: A device and method for generating an additional restoring force at the gas pedal for motor vehicles, wherein a change in position of the gas pedal relative to its initial position, brought about by a corresponding activation force counter to a restoring force, leads to an increase in the driving force of the drive engine, and when the activation force diminishes a restoring force returns the gas pedal in the direction of its initial position. An actuator element is provided which applies an additional restoring force which acts in the restoring direction of the gas pedal. For energy efficiency, the invention provides that the magnitude of the additional restoring force (F) acting on the gas pedal is configured such that the gas pedal assumes a position which moves the operating point of the drive engine into a region with a relatively high efficiency level.

Abstract: A vibration damper including a first spline having a plurality of first teeth, a second spline having a plurality of second teeth, a third spline having a plurality of third teeth and at least one spring interconnected between the first and second splines, wherein the plurality of third teeth are intermediate the plurality of first teeth and the plurality of second teeth, and the at least one spring biases the plurality of first teeth and the plurality of second teeth against the plurality of third teeth.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a lash prevention spring of unique design having a plurality of spring legs shaped into an s-curve and an inner circumference formed into at least one spline. The invention also comprises a lash prevention assembly in which the disclosed lash spring is attached to a damper hub and is biased against the several teeth from a turbine hub that extend through the damper hub from its opposite side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds containing CF3O groups using compounds containing at least one group Y, in which Y=—Hal, —OSO2(CF2)zF, —OSO2CzH2z+1 (z=1-10), —OSO2F, —OSO2Cl, —OC(O)CF3— or —OSO2Ar, to a process for the preparation of compounds containing CF3O groups using KOCF3 and/or RbOCF3, and to novel compounds containing CF3O groups, and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward a hydropneumatic suspension and a method involved in controlling such a hydropneumatic suspension as is used in relation to cross-country motor vehicles, which, in spite of being of a simple, inexpensive and repair-friendly structure, makes it possible to take account of both static and also dynamic factors and which in addition permits both manual and also automatic control. The hydropneumatic suspension, such as for motor vehicles, has at least two hydropneumatic springs which are in flow communication with each and also with a metering cylinder by way of a load distribution unit which is distinguished in that the load distribution unit has at least the following switching positions; flow separation of the hydropneumatic springs, flow communication only of the two connected hydropneumatic springs with each other, and flow communication of the two hydropneumatic springs and the metering cylinder with each other.
