Abstract: A method for producing a vehicle body or a vehicle body module, the method inclusing producing at least one sandwich component having a first metal sheet layer, a semifinished product layer formed by a non-cured semifinished product pre-impregnated with a matrix, and a second metal sheet layer, forming the vehicle body by joining the sandwich component into a vehicle body part, the matrix of the semifinished product layer of the sandwich component being uncured, and dip coating and drying the vehicle body, the matrix of the semifinished product layer of the sandwich component being cured during the dip coating and drying of the vehicle body.

Abstract: A tank neck unit for a vehicle that includes a tank neck operatively connected to a pressure accumulator system of the vehicle and which is configured for a predetermined maximum pressure which is greater than a permissible operating pressure of the pressure accumulator system. A shut-off valve is arranged in a throughflow path between the tank neck and an outlet region of the tank neck unit, the shut-off valve being configured to prevent an increase in pressure of the pressure accumulator system beyond the permissible operating pressure.

Abstract: An electric motor having a housing having a front and a rear end plate, a rotor that is mounted in the end plates, a stator, the core of which stator includes stator plates that are aligned with respect to each other in the axial direction of the rotor, and a housing cooling system that includes a tube that surrounds the stator core, the being concentrically surrounded by at least one cooling channel that is open towards the tube.

Abstract: A load-bearing structure of a motor vehicle, having hollow profiles and junction elements to connect the hollow profiles. The hollow profiles may be fastened in receptacles of the junction elements, and the junction elements may have a plurality of of areal webs in a vehicle vertical direction, at least some of the areal webs forming a framework structure which assists the load path in the respective junction element.

Abstract: A method for producing a welded joint between a high-strength aluminum alloy with a copper proportion as a first metal and a second metal, in which the welded joint is produced by CMT welding.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve for a pressure container and which includes a manual shut-off of the valve, a stop, and an electromagnetic shut-off of the valve with a sealing element, a magnet coil, a tappet, and a spring element. When the magnet coil has been currentlessly switched and deactivated, the tappet pressed against the sealing element by the spring element presses the sealing element onto a second opening so as to suppress a fluidic connection from the pressure container. Also, when the magnet coil is activated, the tappet can be moved away from the sealing element as far as the stop, such that the fluidic connection can be released.

Abstract: Shut-off valve for a pressure accumulator vessel for a medium, wherein a valve housing has a valve chamber with an intake opening and an outlet opening facing the pressure accumulator vessel, a movable piston, and at least one spring, wherein the piston has at least one axial connecting channel and is guided in an axially movable manner by at least two sealing elements arranged in the valve chamber, wherein a first effective piston surface of the piston, the first effective piston surface facing an inlet region of the valve chamber, and a sealing body form a valve seat, and wherein, by changing the pressure in an accumulator region of the valve chamber, the accumulator region being adjacent to a second effective piston surface, the piston is axially movable and a passage opening arranged between the intake opening and the outlet opening may be reversibly closed and opened, wherein, in the unpressurized state, the passage opening is kept open by the spring.

Abstract: A composite component composed of a plastics-fiber composite material, having at least two plies of fiber-reinforced material, and at least one electrical line arranged between the at least two plies of fiber-reinforced material.

Abstract: A motor vehicle component having at least one surface which, in the installed position, forms an outer side of the motor vehicle, in which the surface has substantially V-shaped and/or substantially U-shaped projections, with the closed sides thereof facing a direction of air flow during normal operation of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A filler device to introduce fuel into a motor vehicle tank, and which includes a filler pipe and a vent pipe connected to the filler pipe via a crimp that extends therebetween.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the production of plastic containers, in particular, plastic tanks, for example, fuel tanks for motor vehicles.

Abstract: A shut-off valve to fill a tank with a gaseous medium. The shut-off valve includes a valve housing, a piston arranged in the valve housing for displacement in an axial direction and having an axially continuous bore, a first end piece having an outlet opening which is fluidically-connected to the axially continuous bore of the piston; and a second end piece having an inlet opening which is fluidically-connected to the axially continuous bore of the piston. A first end side of the piston and a first end side of the second end piece of the valve housing form a sealing seat upon contact therebetween.
