Abstract: The proposal is for an improved expansion device for a drum brake having an integrated readjustment unit having a readjusting screw which can be locked therein by a spring-loaded latching unit which, for a reliable readjustment function with a reduced level of force, provides for the latching unit to allow a defined idle rotation of the readjusting screw, which is defined structurally by a first stop acting in a first direction of revolution and a second stop acting in the opposite direction of revolution.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying thick matter has a drive cylinder for receiving hydraulic fluid, a drive piston, which is arranged in the drive cylinder, a conveying cylinder for receiving thick matter, a conveying piston, which is arranged in the conveying cylinder, and a piston rod, which is fastened to the drive piston for coupling motion together with the conveying piston. The drive cylinder has a rod-side opening for applying pressure to a rod side of the drive piston by way of hydraulic fluid and a crown-side opening for applying pressure to a crown side of the drive piston facing away from the rod side by the hydraulic fluid. A drive pump is designed to generate a drive volume flow having a drive pressure of hydraulic fluid for moving the drive piston. A pump connection is designed for variable connection of the drive pump to the rod-side opening or the crown-side opening for the flow of hydraulic fluid.

Abstract: A method monitors the state of a device having a first drive cylinder for receiving hydraulic fluid and a first drive piston which is movably arranged in the first drive cylinder. The method determines a speed of the first drive piston, establishes a difference between the determined speed of the first drive piston and an expected speed of the first drive piston, and determines a faulty state as a function of the difference established between the determined speed of the first drive piston and the expected speed of the first drive piston.

Abstract: A lamp for a headlamp is provided. The lamp includes at least two light source groups each including at least one controllable light source. The light sources of one light source group are set up for emitting yellow light. The light sources of another light source group are set up for emitting at least one of white or blue light. At least the light sources of the at least two light source groups are arranged for producing light that is collectively emittable.

Abstract: A controller of an electromagnetically driven reciprocating pump influences velocity of the magnetic armature by switching voltage applied to the electromagnet depending on the position of the magnetic armature, its position determined from state variables of the electromagnet. A processor calculates electrical resistance of the magnetic coil from the voltage and current measured by the measuring device, and calculates the temporal change of the linked magnetic flux in the electromagnet from the electrical voltage, the current and the resistance of the magnetic coil, and calculates the linked magnetic flux in the electromagnet from an earlier magnetic flux and from the temporal change, and determines the position of the magnetic armature from the linked magnetic flux in the electromagnet and the electrical current through the magnetic coil, and switches the voltage at the magnetic coil by the switching device depending on the position of the magnetic armature.

Abstract: To obtain a cyanogen chloride which is practically free from water and preferably also free from hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride and organic compounds, the crude cyanogen chloride is fractionally distilled. The return is led in countercurrent flow to the crude gas, thereby takes up the impurities and is further evaporated in the lower portion of the column, respectively in a special apparatus, by a liquid whose temperature is higher than the boiling temperature of cyanogen chloride. Thereby this liquid also takes up the impurities. The purification action is aided by a wash for the crude cyanogen chloride connected in series before it enters the fractionating column. It is very advantageous to combine the process with a plant for the production of cyanogen chloride.
