  • Patent number: 9490565
    Abstract: Electrical contact (19) having a housing (2) in which an electrical conductor (1) is embedded, the housing (2) having a recess (3), the electrical conductor (1) being inserted into the recess (3), an intermediate space (20) between the conductor (1) and the housing (2) being filled with a sealing material (21), the conductor (1) extending in the longitudinal direction through the housing (2), the conductor (1) having a web (15, 16), the web (15, 16) extending transversely relative to the longitudinal direction around the conductor (1), the web (15, 16) protruding by a predetermined height beyond a lateral face (6, 7) of the conductor (1), the sealing material (21) being arranged at one side of the web (15, 16).

  • Patent number: 9350131
    Abstract: A contact pin is disclosed with first and second end portions and a bending portion located therebetween, wherein the cross section of at least one end portion has a preferred bending direction (V1) and at least one bending resistance direction (R1) and wherein the moment of inertia of the cross section of the at least one end portion is smaller in the preferred bending direction than in the bending resistance direction. If such contact pins are bent perpendicular to their longitudinal extension (Z) by a bending force in one direction (F), then the direction of the actual bending (X) deviates from the direction of the bending force. In order to eliminate this deviation, the difference between the moments of inertia in the preferred bending direction and in the bending resistance direction in the cross section of the bending portion is smaller than in the at least one end portion.

  • Patent number: 8791276
    Abstract: Process for the preparation of 2-substituted 4-hydroxy-4-methyltetrahydropyrans of the formula (I) where the radical R1 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an optionally alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl radical having in total 3 to 12 carbon atoms or an optionally alkyl- and/or alkoxy-substituted aryl radical having in total 6 to 12 carbon atoms, comprising the reaction of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol of the formula (II) with an aldehyde of the formula (III) R1—CHO??(III), where the radical R1 has the same meaning as in formula (I) and where the reaction is carried out in the presence of water and in the presence of a strongly acidic cation exchanger, and then the isolation and/or the distillative separation is carried out in a dividing wall column or in an interconnection of (at least) two distillation columns in the form of a thermal coupling and one or more side take-off points at an absolute operating pressure of up to 500 mbar.
