  • Publication number: 20240115600
    Abstract: The invention enables direct oral granules enabling controlled release of magnesium, having both extended-release and non-extended-release fractions. The granules include extended-release particles having a magnesium-containing core and a lipophilic coating, with at least the cores of these extended-release particles having a mandated abrasion resistance which is determined by means of vibration screening over a period of 60 minutes and which allows these cores to be melt-coated, more particularly melt-coated with lipids in a fluidized bed. The invention further provides a method for characterizing the magnesium-containing cores, and also a process for producing the extended-release particles by means of hotmelt coating.

  • Patent number: 10683942
    Abstract: A vacuum valve including a valve housing with seat surrounding a first opening with a sealing surface is disclosed. A valve disk having a first disk section and a second disk section tightly mounted inside an outer boundary of the first disk that is movable parallel to an opening axis. A drive is connected to the first disk section. The first disk section includes a first bearing surface configured to contact the sealing surface in the closed position. The outer boundary has a radially inwardly oriented inner surface. The second disk section has a radially outwardly oriented outer surface configured to contact the inner surface sealing a second contact area. At least for determined radial angles about a center of the valve disk, a first radial distance from the center to the first bearing surface is shorter than a second radial distance from the center to the second contact area.

  • Patent number: 10366852
    Abstract: A power relay for a vehicle is disclosed. The power relay has a housing formed by a connector base and a housing can set thereon, two connection bolts being inserted into the connector base for contacting a load circuit. The power relay further has a coil subassembly arranged in the housing and containing a solenoid coil and an armature. The armature is coupled by a force-transmission member to a contact bridge and can shift in the housing, under the effect of a magnetic field generated by the solenoid coil, in such a way that the contact bridge can be reversibly moved between a closing position, in which the contact bridge bridges the connection bolts in an electro conducting manner, and an opening position, in which the contact bridge is not in contact with the connection bolts. The housing can is configured as an injection-molded component made of plastic.

  • Patent number: 8550430
    Abstract: A valve for the gastight interruption of a flow path is disclosed. A valve housing includes a first opening and a valve seat. A valve disk includes an inner disk portion, which is linearly movable relative to an outer disk portion so that, in a closed setting, a pressure differential acts substantially upon the movable inner disk portion, which is supported on the valve housing. The valve seat has a radially inward pointing first inner face and the outer disk portion has a radially outward pointing first outer face, wherein in the closed setting there exists a radial sealing contact with the first inner face. The outer disk portion has a radially inward pointing second inner face and the inner disk portion has a radially outward pointing second outer face, having a radially sealing contact with the second inner face.

  • Patent number: 7703584
    Abstract: A divided disk brake arrangement has a braking disk (13) with braking surfaces (11), and a disk holder (12), which is connected in a torsion-proof manner to the braking disk (13) and secured by a screw connection. The disk holder (12) and the braking disk (13) are mounted so that they can move relative to each other in the radial direction to compensate for different thermal expansions. At least one conical surface (18; 21) is provided in the region where the screw connection bears against the braking disk (13).

  • Patent number: 7124040
    Abstract: In a method of monitoring a fuel cell unit, at least one pair of measured values, including a measured current value and a measured voltage value (Iactual, Uactual) are determined at the outputs of the fuel cell unit. The measured voltage value (Uactual) is compared with a limit value (PG), which is a function of the measured current value (Iactual) by way of a limit characteristic polarization curve. It is concluded that the condition of the fuel cell unit is faulty when the measured voltage value (Uactual) or a function of the measured voltage value is smaller than or equal to a predefined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 7090192
    Abstract: A vacuum valve comprising a valve body with a valve opening, a valve plate which is movable between an open position in which it lies next to the valve opening and releases the valve opening and a closed position in which the valve opening is covered and a diaphragm plate which is movable between a passive position, in which it lies next to the valve opening and releases the valve opening, and an active position in which it partially covers the valve opening. The vacuum valve has a completely open state in which the valve plate is in its open position and the diaphragm plate is in its passive position, a completely closed state in which the valve plate is in its closed position and is sealed relative to the valve body, and a partially closed state in which the valve plate is in its open position and the diaphragm plate is in its active position, wherein the vacuum valve has a reduced cross section compared to the completely open state.
