The noise reflector includes at least one form-locking element with a direction of longitudinal extension, by way of which the noise reflector can be fastened to a housing part of the compressor such that a form-locking connection is produced, and the direction of longitudinal extension of the form-locking element goes in the axial direction.

Abstract: Provided is an electrode catalyst layer excellent in gas transportability by using an electrode catalyst layer for fuel cell comprising a catalyst containing a catalyst carrier and a catalytic metal carried on the catalyst carrier and an electrolyte, wherein the catalyst partially is coated with the electrolyte, and a specific surface area of the catalytic metal which gas can reach without passing through an electrolyte is 50% or more, with respect to the total specific surface area of the catalytic metal.

Abstract: A device and a method for controlling at least one headlight for a motor vehicle involve a control apparatus, at least one sensor configured to detect information about objects in a surrounding area of the motor vehicle and to supply the detected information to the control apparatus. The headlight can be adjusted by the control apparatus depending on at least one detected object. A range between at least one light source and at least one lens of the headlight can be adjusted by the control apparatus in order to adapt a projection of the light source to the at least one detected object.

Abstract: A method for joining two components is disclosed. In an embodiment of the method, a joining element is inserted into the two components, and during the joining process, at least one parameter quantifying the joining process is determined. The joining element is inserted by a robot and the at least one parameter quantifying the joining process is determined by the robot. A device for joining two components is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for maintenance, repair and/or optimization of a battery. The battery has, as components, individual cells connected to one another in series and/or in parallel, having electrical terminal contacts which are connected to one another positively and/or firmly, directly or by cell connectors, forming an overlapping region, and/or a battery monitoring unit having a number of connection elements which are positively and/or firmly connected to the electrical terminal contacts and/or to the cell connectors, forming a further overlapping region. To exchange a component, the positive and/or firm connection of the component to be exchanged to at least one component not be exchanged is separated directly next to the overlapping region and a replacement component is connected positively and/or firmly to the overlapping regions of the at least one component not be exchanged by the electrical terminal contacts thereof or the connection elements thereof, forming a respectively new overlapping region.

Abstract: An adjusting device, in particular for adjustment of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, is disclosed. The adjusting device includes a brake unit which has at least one brake disc and at least one electromagnet for actuating the brake unit. The electromagnet has a yoke and an armature formed separately from the brake disc, where the brake disc is disposed at least partially spatially between the yoke and the armature of the electromagnet.

Abstract: A method for producing a sandwich component, in particular an inner trim component for a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The method begins with a core layer made from a foamed plastic and a cover layer which includes reinforcing fibers and plastic fibers. The plastic of the core layer has a first melting temperature which is higher than the second melting temperature of the plastic fibers of the cover layer. By the core layer being arranged on the cover layer, a multilayer composite is created. This multilayer composite can be further processed into a semi-finished product. The multilayer composite or the semi-finished product is then heated in a heating device to a temperature which is lower than the first melting temperature but therefore higher than the second melting temperature. Then the heated multilayer composite or the semi-finished product is formed in a forming tool in order to produce the sandwich component.

Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle involves directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber using an injection device, and a mixture of the fuel and air is ignited in the combustion chamber by an ignition device. The internal combustion engine is operated selectively in at least one first operating mode with at least one first valve lift of at least one gas exchange valve of the internal combustion engine, associated with the combustion chamber, or in at least one second operating mode with at least one second valve lift of the gas exchange valve, which is smaller than the first valve lift. For assisting a charge movement of the mixture in the second operating mode, at least one further injection of fuel directly into the combustion chamber is carried out prior to the ignition.
