Abstract: In a rotor of an electric machine, which rotor consists of individual segments which each have a first part which is in contact with a second cooperating part wherein the first part of an individual segment and the second cooperating part of an adjacent individual segment are positively interlocked in the radial and circumferential directions resulting in a self-supporting annular structure of the assembled rotor. The individual sections have openings accommodating permanent magnets which are fixed in the openings by wall sections bent into the openings during assembly of the segments for fixing the permanent magnets in the openings as the individual segments are joined to form a ring.

According to the invention, the housing (1a, 1b), has an air inlet (4) and an air outlet (5), the damping means (2) are boated in the housing (1a, 1b) and the strut or struts (3a, 3b, 3c) is or are located in the housing (1a, 1b) in such a way, that it or they protrude at least partially into the damping means (2). Air that flows through the housing (1a, 1b) from the air inlet (4) to the air outlet (5) is conducted by the strut or struts (3a, 3b, 3c). into the damping means (2).

Abstract: A process for preparing isocyanates in the gas phase, in which the mixing of the reactants and thus the reaction conditions are significantly improved by means of hydrodynamic measures such as increasing the turbulence of the feed stream in the central nozzle. As a consequence, the necessary residence time in the reactor and thus the length of the reactor are reduced and the formation of polymeric by-products which lead to caking in the reactor and a shortening of the operating period of the reactors is avoided.

Abstract: A method for producing a workpiece in the form of a metal sheet with at least one at least partly rolled edge, said at least one edge to be rolled having a length in a longitudinal direction and a curvature in at least one portion along said longitudinal direction, comprises the steps of providing said workpiece, in said at least one portion which has said curvature, with at least one material projection extending in said longitudinal direction of said edge over a part of said length of said at least one edge to be rolled, so that said edge, along said material projection, projects beyond remaining portions of said edge adjoining said material projection transversely to said longitudinal direction of said edge, and subsequently rolling said edge including said material projection.

Abstract: A reluctance motor in which at least one snap ring engages the ends of the exciter coils remote from the stator yoke with radially outward acting spring force.
