  • Patent number: 5326084
    Abstract: A vibration damper for a wheel of a motor vehicle has a bearing unit for a suspension part of a stabilizer which is held on the spring strut. The bearing unit includes a holding element which extends around the cylinder of the spring strut and is connected with it. The holding element has a bearing for the suspension part in a projecting console and has a face that forms a spring plate. The face supports a coil spring which is arranged coaxially with respect to the spring strut. This coil spring is supported on the vehicle by an end which faces away from the bearing.

  • Patent number: 5249781
    Abstract: A support for a coil spring of a spring strut of a motor vehicle, which is cardanically disposed on the vehicle body, comprises a coil spring which, on one side, on the side of the vehicle body, is supported on an upper first elastic spring pocket and, on the other side, is supported by way of another lower second spring pocket which is stationarily held on the spring strut. In the operating direction of the coil spring, the upper spring pocket has areas of different elastic characteristics. In an area of high axial pressure forces of the compressed coil spring, the elastic characteristic of the spring pocket is less than in an opposite area of the spring pocket of lower axial pressure forces of the compressed coil spring. By means of this development of the spring pocket, a disadvantageous bulging of the coil spring during compression and rebounding movements is largely prevented.

  • Patent number: 4486380
    Abstract: In the method of shutting down a high temperature nuclear reactor having a negative temperature coefficient of reactivity, such as a gas cooled pebble-bed nuclear reactor, while the core is operating in the critical state with the core having a predetermined critical average core temperature and with the heat generated in the critical state being removed by a coolant, effecting the shut down by reducing or discontinuing the removal of heat from the reactor core and increasing the average core temperature by an amount above the critical average core temperature for rendering the core hot sub-critical due to the negative temperature coefficient of reactivity. The core can be maintained in the hot sub-critical state by a controlled removal of after shut-down heat from the core.

  • Patent number: 3971444
    Abstract: A reaction vessel which holds a charge of spherical reaction elements, for example a pebble bed nuclear reactor having a charge of spherical fuel elements, has the charge formed of at least two groups of spherical elements with all of the elements in each group being of equal diameter, but each group of elements having a different diameter from the other. The elements of both groups are uniformly mixed together and the different diameters are chosen in such a way that when the elements are continuously circulated through the reaction vessel during operation, the circulation does not cause the two groups of elements to segregate during the intended number of circulation cycles.
