Abstract: A torsional vibration damper (1) comprising two elements (4, 5) which are rotatable relative to one another making use of at least one coupling part (3) which is arranged axially displaceable in a housing (2), in which the housing (2) is divided by the coupling element (3) into a first pressure chamber/partial chamber (D1) and a second pressure chamber/partial chamber (D2), and the first pressure chamber (D1) is connected to a first damping chamber (12) and the second pressure chamber (D2) is connected to a second damping chamber (13) and the first pressure chamber (D1) is filled with a damping medium (10) and the first damping chamber (12) is filled with the damping medium (10) and/or a first damping element (14) and the second pressure chamber (D2) is filled with a damping medium (10) and the second damping chamber (13) is filled with the damping medium (10) and/or a second damping element (15).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for delivering primary information that exists in at least one electronic form, comprising the following steps: transmission of the primary information via at least one communication network (5) to at least one communication system (2) allocated to an addressee (B) of the primary information; creation of verification information relating to the acknowledgement of the primary information by the addressee (B); and saving and/or transmission of said verification information via at least one communication network (5). The invention thus makes available individualised data which not only documents the receipt of the primary information by the addressee but also the latter's acknowledgement of said primary information. In addition, the invention relates to a telecommunication arrangement and a telecommunication unit which are suitable for carrying out the method or can be used in said method.

Abstract: This patent application discloses a “netsurfing” method for a terminal system A0—with a real or virtual A0-homeIAD0 and an A0 connection to a second terminal system Z0—for its “managed handover” MHO to a real IADx in a WLANx or to a virtual IADx for a mobile netx (IAD=integrated access device). The MHO is supported by the A0-homeIAD0. An A0 connection is often relayed over an MHO module MHOM which is controlled by the MHO specification MHOS in the A0-homeIAD0. This offers benefits to both operators of shared IADx/A0-homeIAD0 and users of their homeTerminalSystems. An MHOM (including or excluding MHOS) differs essentially from a “home agent” of the internet mobility technology and can therefore also support present-day WiFi/FMC telephones. I.e.: The netsurfing method is in the short term geared to the VoIP telephony—but is not restricted thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus for compensating and/or transmitting forces/torques and rotational movements between two components, particularly for compensating for vehicle movements, in which at least one joint module is situated between the two components, which joint module converts a translational and/or rotational movement of a piston, to which a pressure medium is applied, into a rotational movement of at least one first rotatable shaft or of a first and a second rotatable shaft.

Abstract: This invention discloses an automatic and network-transparent “handover convenience information support” method (HOCIS method) for a subscriber (SUBC) of a primary communications process (alias primary telecommunications process alias primary TC process, PTCP) in which an HO takes place—wherein this HO process can comprise arbitrary times prior or after the “actual HO”. “Convenience information support” thereby means inter alia that this PTCP-SUBC has not necessarily requested this HOCIS, but he nevertheless as a rule regards this then unasked-for support as convenient or helpful, such as for example a passenger on a flight regarding associated announcements/references/measures (=convenience information support) at the departure or arrival airport. As opposed to such often uniform measures the HOCIS is as a rule individually configurable by someone affected by it.

Abstract: Method for refining and homogeneously distributing alloying partners and for removing undesired reaction products such as oxides and/or slag in or from soft solder during the production of fine solder powder, in which the solder alloy is melted in a high temperature-resistant plant and/or animal oil, the melt is moved to another container of oil with a temperature of at least 20° C. greater than the liquidus temperature, stirred there, and subjected to multiple shear treatments using rotors and stators for forming a dispersion comprising solder balls and oil, from which dispersion the solder balls are separated by means of subsequent sedimentation.
