Abstract: A process is provided for improving the reliability of operation of optical gas sensors with at least one radiation source and with at least one radiation detector. By comparing and evaluating the measured signals (18) (D) sent by the radiation detector, of which there is at least one, with first, second and third stored reference values (D1, D2, K), it is achieved, on the one band, that in the case of toxic gas concentrations or of gas concentrations that are critical because of explosion hazard, second measured values (15) continue to be sent for the protection of the user corresponding to the range between the reference values D1 and D2 when the third reference value (K) is exceeded. On the other hand, at least first warning signals (16) are sent by the gas sensor to warn that a preset degree of contamination has been reached in order for maintenance or cleaning of the gas sensor to be performed or in order for the gas sensor to be replaced with a new gas sensor shortly.

Abstract: An elastic sealing element in the form of bellows, which is used to seal the contact surface between at least two components movable in relation to one another is described, which has low-elasticity contact zones as well as a deformation zone whose elasticity is higher than that of the contact zones, wherein the said deformation zone defines a chamber for accommodating lubricants on its inner side facing the movable components. An overpressure relief means (14) is arranged at least in the area of one of the two low-elasticity contact zones (6 or 7). The overpressure relief means (14) has at least one relief opening (15) connecting the lubricant chamber (11) with the outside of the sealing element (1) and a closing element (16) covering the said relief opening. The closing element (16) is in turn made in one piece with the sealing element (1) and closes the relief opening (15) up to an overpressure limit in the lubricant chamber (11) due to the intrinsic elasticity of the material of the sealing element.

Abstract: A switching architecture for very high data rates which is placed between a port connecting to a fiber optic gigabit ethernet link and a two Gbit/sec backplane of a concentrator. A port connects to the link for both receiving and transmitting data packets from and to the link. A first FTE receives a data packet from the port, and analyzes the data packet to determine if the data packet should be forwarded to the backplane of the concentrator. If the data packet is to be forwarded, the first FTE sends the data packet to a backplane connection for connecting to the backplane of the network concentrator. A second FTE is connected to the backplane connection. The second FTE receives a data packet from the backplane connection, and analyzes the data packet in a manner similar to the first FTE to determine if a packet should be forwarded to the port.

Some needles (11) are selected to pick up and knit the dyed yarn (15) and the first base yarn (13) without picking up the second base yarn, while the remaining needles pick up and knit the second and first base yarns (13, 14), excluding the dyed yarn.

Abstract: A two-chamber step bearing with hydraulic damping especially for mounting engines of motor vehicles is presented. It has at least one fluid-filled working chamber and at least one compensating chamber connected to same by a nozzle channel of variable cross section. The cross section of the nozzle channel is changed by means of a first motor-powered actuating drive. The working chamber is provided with a buckling spring, which is integrated in its walls and whose stiffness can be changed by means of a second motor-powered actuating drive. The second motor-powered actuating drive is independent from the first actuating drive. Due to the described design embodiment the two-chamber step bearing can be continuously adapted during the operation of the two-chamber step bearing to both the damping of low-frequency vibrations of large amplitude and the damping of high-frequency vibrations of small amplitude. The bearing is an especially compact and inexpensive design.
