Abstract: A clutch chamber has a first outlet opening, which is arranged at an about 8 to 10 o'clock position, as viewed in the circumferential direction of the dual-clutch transmission, extending around the axial direction of the dual-clutch transmission, and is provided for direct return of the transmission oil into the transmission housing base area. Furthermore, the clutch chamber has a second outlet opening, which is arranged at an about 2 to 4 o'clock position, as viewed in the circumferential direction of the dual-clutch transmission, and is provided for a return flow of the transmission oil into the transmission housing base area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hinge comprising a first part (11) that can be pivoted relative to a second part (12) about a pivot axis (a), wherein the first part (11) comprises at least one bore (13) and the second part (12) at least one recess (15a, 15b), wherein, in a final assembly position, at least pin one (17a, 17b) that is coaxial to the pivot axis (a), has a first longitudinal portion in the bore (13) and with a second longitudinal portion in the recess (15a, 15b), and the pin (17a, 17b) can be moved between a pre-assembly position, in which the pin (17a, 17b) is in the bore (13) or in the recess (15a, 15b) with a larger overlap with respect to the final assembly position, and the final assembly position.

Abstract: A automation system, a computer and method for communicating includes exchanging data, between a first computer, a second computer and at least one automation device over a wide area network via an application-specific protocol, wherein one of the computers has a local network connection to the automation device, the application-specific protocol has an application layer, and the first and second computers execute respective first and second automation programs such that a transparent connection is provided for the automation programs and their application-specific protocol beyond local network boundaries which can be it efficiently, where signaling functions from lower communication layers that are missing are simulated by introducing event loops on both sides of the communication.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a coupling assembly for connecting an optionally drivable secondary driveline to a permanently driven primary driveline, comprising a friction coupling and an axial setting device. The friction coupling has a first coupling part and a second coupling part which are rotatable around an axis of rotation A and which, by axial forces, can be coupled to one another for transmitting torque. The axial setting device is configured for actuating the friction coupling, wherein the axial setting device comprises a first ring which is at least indirectly axially supported relative to a fixed component and a second ring which is supported at least indirectly relative to the first ring and which, when at least one of the first and second rings; is rotated around the axis A, is axially displaceable, wherein, for rotating the at least one of the first and second rings there is provided a linear driving mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus and method relating to a waterless urinal assembly capable of being mounted, molded, or assembled upon a conventional urinal. The waterless urinal assembly comprises mainly a bowl assembly and a waterless urinal cartridge. An implementation of the apparatus includes a sheathing configured to seal the waterless urinal cartridge upon the bowl assembly. A further implementation includes an adapter piece configured to releasably couple to the sheathing and a waste hose configured to couple with the adapter piece. The waste hose may then be inserted through the waste line of the conventional urinal. The conversion of a conventional urinal into a waterless or semi-waterless urinal promotes water conservation and reduces costs associated with maintenance while preventing the spread of harmful bacteria in lavatories.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiplate wet clutch with a rotatable clutch hub which is rotationally fixedly connected to a plurality of inner plates which can be placed in frictional engagement with outer plates of an associated clutch cage, wherein the multiplate wet clutch has at least one fluid inlet opening which permits a fluid flow out of a fluid supply space to the plates. Arranged in the fluid flow path between the fluid inlet opening and the plates is at least one particle retention device.

Abstract: A belt buckle presenter is capable of moving a belt buckle (32) by means of a drive between a lower initial position and an upper extension position. The belt buckle presenter comprises a blocking arrangement (22), the activation of the blocking arrangement (22) in a case of restraint preventing the belt buckle (32) from a movement upwards. The blocking arrangement (22) is also able to be activated in an intermediate position between the initial position and the extension position.
