Abstract: Provided are a mount system and systems and methods using the mount system for manufacturing objects, especially titanium and titanium alloy objects, by directed energy deposition. The methods include thermally pre-bending the substrate onto which the object is to be manufactured to form a pre-bent substrate, attaching the pre-bent substrate to a jig using the mount system as an underlying support, pre-heating the substrate, and forming the object on the pre-heated, pre-bent substrate using a directed energy deposition technique.

Abstract: A dialysis system, such as a hemodialysis system, includes a flow chamber. The flow chamber includes: a tube section having a first end and a second end, a tube section longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end, the tube section having an inner wall and outer wall; and a helical flow path disposed in the inner wall of the tube section, the helical flow path extending along at least a portion of the tube section longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Provided are a curved clamping mold and systems and methods using the curved clamping mold for manufacturing objects, especially titanium and titanium alloy objects, by directed energy deposition. The methods include thermally pre-bending the substrate onto which the object is to be manufactured to form a pre-bent substrate, attaching the pre-bent substrate to a jig using the curved clamping mold as an underlying support, pre-heating the substrate, and forming the object on the pre-heated, pre-bent substrate using a directed energy deposition technique.

Abstract: A driver for a movable window pane, in particular of a motor vehicle, having a receptacle recess, a receptacle of an edge section of the window pane, and having an elastically displaceable detent lug which is designed to engage in a latching cutout of the window pane in order to arrest the window pane on the driver, wherein the detent lug, in the reset position thereof, obstructs the receptacle recess and has an insertion taper assigned to the receptacle recess such that the detent lug is displaced into a position releasing the receptacle recess by insertion of the window pane into the receptacle recess. The detent lug has a catch groove on the insertion taper which extends parallel to the receptacle recess over the detent lug.

Abstract: In a method for installing a frameless mirror, a mirror glass is positioned on a carrier plate against a stop formed by a border of the carrier plate and glued on the carrier plate. The border is then separated from the carrier plate via a predetermined breaking point of the border.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an insulation board for the application of coatings, characterized in that it comprises a set of machined guide grooves (1) on one of the sides of the insulation board (2) along the entire length and width of the said side of the insulation board (2) and with a spacing between them which can vary according to the type of coating to be applied, as well as a set of tongue and groove fittings (3) at its ends, as to allow the connection and the adjustment of the said insulation boards (2) in relation to each other. The present invention allows to facilitate the settlement of the coatings without crosspieces or plumb lines, as well as, it allows to initiate de placement of the said coatings at any point of the said side of the insulation board (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a unit carrier (1) for a motor vehicle door, with at least one fixing section for a door lock (3) and fixing points for securing the unit carrier to a motor vehicle door, wherein the door lock can be connected by a lock holding angle (4) to the unit carrier. According to the invention a snap-in connection is provided between the lock holding angle (4) and the unit carrier (1) so that the lock holding angle (4) can be secured by means of a catch mechanism to the unit carrier (1). Consequently the assembly work in securing the door lock (3) to the unit carrier (1) is considerably reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door inner element (1) made of plastic for a motor vehicle door which has a windowpane that can be raised and lowered, having an outer side, an inner side, an opening (3), leading from the inner side to the outer side, for passing through a force transmission element (4), used to actuate a door lock, in the form of a Bowden cable or an actuating rod. In order to prevent unauthorized unlocking of the door lock from the outside using a manipulation tool, a cover (9) is assigned to the force transmission element (4) as a break-in safeguard. The cover (9) is molded in one piece onto the outer side of the door inner element (1). The single FIGURE is intended for the abstract.
