Abstract: The ignition characteristics of a fuel are adjusted using a unit which has a distribution zone, a oxidation zone and a conversion zone. Fuel is distributed in the distribution zone having a distribution structure. A portion of the fuel is oxidised in the oxidation zone with a oxidising agent on a catalyst on a catalyst carrier, and a portion of the distributed fuel and/or of another supplied fuel is thermally and/or catalytically converted in the conversion zone. The ignition characteristics of the fuel are adjusted via: the molar ratio of oxygen included in the oxidising agent to the oxygen required for the complete oxidation of the fuel provided; and/or via the pressure in the unit; and/or the dwell time; and/or the temperature. Exhaust emissions, in particular NOx and soot emissions, can be lowered.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exhaust-gas purification device by means of which combustion exhaust gases emerging from combustion devices, in particular diesel engines, can be purified. At least a regeneration of the soot particle filter and/or the NOx catalytic converter can be attained by means of the exhaust-gas purification device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exhaust gas purification device with which combustion gases originating from combustion devices, in particular diesel engines, can be purified. With the exhaust gas purification device, at least one regeneration of the particulate filters and/or of the NOx catalyst can be achieved.

Abstract: An approach is provided for receiving a request to broadcast at least one message associated with one or more market transactions. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a conversion of the at least one message to a format for embedding into at least one broadcast signal. The approach also causes, at least in part, a transmission of the at least one converted message via the at least one broadcast signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for vaporising and reforming liquid fuels, in particular the catalytic and non-catalytic partial oxidation and the autothermal reforming of liquid fuels with the addition of air- or air-vapour mixtures or air-water mixtures. The invention thereby solves the problems of the mixture formation, soot formation and conversion into low hydrocarbons and hydrogen in conjunction with reforming methods known from the state of the art.
