  • Patent number: 11014598
    Abstract: A steering column may include an outer casing unit in which an inner casing tube that rotatably mounts a steering shaft is received such that the inner casing tube is displaceable and fixable in an axial direction. An energy absorption device operatively disposed between the casing tube and the casing unit may absorb at least some energy in a crash event where the casing tube is telescopically displaced relative to the casing unit. The energy absorption device may include a deformation strip fastened to but spaced apart from the casing tube, fixed in a radial direction by a spacer on the casing tube, to which deformation strip a deformation slide that is connected to the casing unit is disposed. The deformation slide may encompass and jam outer narrow sides of the deformation strip such that the deformation slide deforms the deformation strip in a crash event.

  • Patent number: 10994244
    Abstract: A device for waste gas scrubbing in a urea plant may be configured such that a waste gas passes along a transportation direction in the duct. The duct may include a first region for removing urea dust particles from the waste gas and a second region for removing chemical compounds from the waste gas, which can be integrated by an acid-base reaction into an aqueous liquid phase. A cross-sectional area of the duct extending perpendicular to the transportation direction in the second region may be greater than a cross-sectional area extending perpendicular to the transportation direction in the first region. Further, the device may be configured such that the duct extends horizontally at least in sections and/or the transportation direction of the waste gas through the duct extends horizontally in an installed state.
