Abstract: A wide angle reflector which can work in conjunction with a wide-angle sensor system for testing the wide angle reflector. In this case, reflex sensors transmit light onto a cube corner part surface, and measure the retro-reflected light. If the direction of irradiation of the light deviates too strongly from the normal to the cube corner part surface, the retro-reflective light, which serves as signal, is retro-reflected too weakly, or is not retro-reflected at all to the transmitter. This wide-angle sensor system with a cube corner part surface permits the observation of a large surface with an aperture angle of 80° and more. In addition, the wide-angle sensor system with cube corner part surface comprises a gauge for selecting the observation angle and the cube corner part surface which comprises a multiplicity of cube corners.

Abstract: A muffler has an integrated SCR catalytic converter for an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle The muffler includes a housing which has an intake trumpet on the intake end and an exhaust pipe on the output end. Catalytic converter elements are arranged in the housing with one inlet end in an inlet chamber and with an outlet end in an outlet chamber. An outlet end of the intake trumpet communicates with the inlet chamber. To improve the efficiency of the SCR catalytic converter the inlet chamber is sealed off from the outside and with respect to the intake trumpet and the catalytic converter elements to the extent that in operation of the internal combustion engine with exhaust gas loaded with urea, passing through the intake trumpet into the inlet chamber, the exhaust gas leaves the inlet chamber only through the catalytic converter elements.

Abstract: A device comprising an air intake duct and at least one passive one-way air intake valve disposed in the air intake duct. There is also an actuator coupled to the one-way valve for biasing the one-way valve in a closed position. During operation, the one-way air intake valve is opened via an air induction force created by operation of an internal combustion engine positioned downstream from the actuator. This one-way air intake valve is closed after the internal combustion engine has stopped operating to prevent emissions of evaporated hydrocarbons from the engine through the air induction system. The valve can also be moved into a fail-safe position if the actuator fails but the engine is operating.
