Abstract: A method and device for the non-intrusive determination of the electrical power consumed by a subscriber installation. From the sampled values of the supply current and supply voltage that are delivered to the installation, constituting a consumption signal, the sampled values are grouped in successive observation time windows; the poles and residues of the consumption signal are discriminated in each current window using the pencil method, the set of poles and residues associated with at least one singular value representing a combination of signatures of separate electrical loads; at least the active power consumed by a subset of electrical loads in operation is calculated, over at least the duration of the current observation window, the sum of the active powers consumed by each electrical load satisfying a consumed power function linking these poles and residues. A replacement Abstract is attached hereto on a separate sheet in accordance with 37 CFR 1.72.

Abstract: A method of establishing defined morphologies of separated phases in thin coats, in which anisotropic particles (T) whose average particle diameter (D) is <1 ?m and whose D/d ratio of the average particle diameter (D) to the average particle thickness (d) is >50 are introduced into the coating material used to produce said coats and comprises at least one polymer (P1), at least one polymer (P2) which is incompatible with the polymer (P1) in the solid phase and/or a crosslinking agent (V) which is incompatible with the polymer (P1) in the solid phase, where the polymers (P1) and/or (P2) have at least one functional group (a) which reacts during curing of the coating material to form covalent bonds. The disclosed coating material is applied to an uncoated substrate and/or to a precoated substrate and then cured and can be used in producing antistonechip OEM coat systems.

Abstract: Coating materials that comprise at least one polymer (P1), at least one polymer (P2) which is incompatible with polymer (P1) in the solid phase and/or a crosslinking agent (V) which is incompatible with the polymer (P1) in the solid phase, where the polymers (P1) and/or (P2) have at least one functional group (a) which reacts in the course of curing of the coating material to form covalent bonds, wherein the coating material comprises 0.1 to 30% by weight, based on the nonvolatile constituents of the coating material, of electrically charged inorganic particles (AT) whose average particle diameter (D) is <1 ?m and whose average D/d ratio of the average particle diameter (D) to the average particle thickness (d) is >50. Also disclosed is a method for producing antistonechip OEM coat systems using the disclosed coating material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of increasing the stonechip resistance of OEM coat systems composed of an anticorrosion coat, a surfacer coat, and a concluding topcoat, in which 0.1% to 30% by weight, based on the nonvolatile fractions of the coating material, of electrically charged inorganic particles AT whose ratio D/d, the ratio of the average particle diameter (D) to the average particle thickness (d), is >50 and whose charge is at least partly compensated by singly charged organic counterions OG, are incorporated into the coating material that is used to produce at least one of said coats and that comprises at least one polymer P, and the coating material is applied and, lastly, is cured.
