Abstract: A ballistic protection configuration includes a plurality of hard-armoring shaped elements which are formed as one piece and have at least two mutually offset planes. At least two of the shaped elements are fixed in a positional relationship with respect to one another in a shaped element composite in such a way that a first plane of a first shaped element overlaps in sections a second plane of a second shaped element. With the at least two overlapping planes of two shaped elements, two whole surfaces, which lie one above the other and offset with respect to one another, are formed in the shaped element composite and make it possible for a shaped element composite to be provided which is completely free of linear penetrations.

Abstract: A wear protection device including a plurality of shaped elements. The shaped elements are substantially plate-shaped in formation. The shaped elements are formed in an integral manner and have at least two planes which are disposed in an offset manner with respect to one another. At least two of the shaped elements are fixed in a shaped element composite in a positional relationship with respect to one another with a first plane of a first shaped element overlaps in sections a second plane of a second shaped element. In the shaped element composite a first shaped element can overlap in sections up to three further shaped elements in a second planes thereof.

Abstract: The cooking vessel has a bottom with a region of metallic material with incorporated ceramic parts. The aforementioned region is, for example, produced from metal-impregnated ceramic or ceramic-reinforced metal. According to one variant, the aforementioned region displays infiltrated iron for the production of induction capability. The physical properties of the bottom can be adjusted to desired values by varying the metallic material and the ceramic parts.

Abstract: Ceramic heat exchangers having narrow cross-sections are sealed by filling one side (which later will be the cold side) of the heat exchanger with a liquid synthetic resin and generating there a pressure higher than that on the other side (which later will be the hot side) of the heat exchanger, removing the excess resin and fully curing the synthetic resin. The process is suitable especially for ceramic heat exchangers of silicon nitride. In this case, a suspension of finely dispersed abrasive in a liquid phase can be pumped, before the treatment with the liquid synthetic resin, through that side of the heat exchanger which will later by the cold side, until the silicon nitride whiskers formed on reaction firing have been mechanically removed, and the heat exchanger can then be rinsed and dried.
