  • Publication number: 20240110480
    Abstract: A method for producing a housing for a rotary piston engine, a shell housing, and a housing for a rotary piston engine, are disclosed. A bushing of hard metal is pressed into a shell housing main body with a trochoidal raceway in such a manner that an external circumferential contour of the bushing bears in a sealing manner on the trochoidal raceway and the trochoidal raceway is cladded via the bushing.

  • Patent number: 8061748
    Abstract: A handling for components having a similar shape, particularly motor vehicle body parts, wherein a gripper on an arm of a robot can grip the component and its similarly-shaped other components with one and the same clamp device without re-tooling, is equipped with two gripper chucks on each clamp device. However, only one gripper chuck can be steered into the grab positions in each case, while the other gripper chuck is then located in the parking position outside a grab area on the component.

  • Publication number: 20080047666
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of sandwich elements (so-called panels), in which the rising reactive mixture is guided, when it rises, through guide elements arranged between the upper and lower outer layers. This process produces void-free panels having a regular cell structure. The invention also relates to an apparatus useful for the production of such sandwich elements.

  • Patent number: 4246007
    Abstract: In order to separate gaseous or vaporous substances having different molecular weights and/or different gas kinetically effective cross sections, by conducting the mixture to be separated together with a lighter additive gas into a separating chamber through two slit-shaped nozzles to form, in the chamber, two jets which are directed toward, and deflect, one another, the flow lines of each jet converging in the flow direction, dividing the thus deflected jets by means of separating baffles into partial streams of respectively different compositions, and discharging the partial streams separately from the chamber.
