Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for mounting a switch or the like on a mounting plate. The switch comprises a housing with a housing top side supported on the back side of the mounting plate, a fastening protrusion including fastening means, as well as a plurality of resilient tongues, each having a locking protrusion. The fastening protrusion and the resilient tongues are inserted for mounting purposes from behind into an opening of the mounting plate, with the locking protrusions locking in place with the front edge of the opening. Furthermore, the device comprises a fastening element that can be mounted from the front side of the mounting plate and cooperates with the fastening means of the fastening protrusion. According to the invention the resilient tongues extend from the housing top side substantially in vertical direction and are spaced apart from the fastening protrusion.

Abstract: Methods for dosing a fluid into a receiving channel of a test element using a dosing device are disclosed. The dosing device comprises a dosing chamber in fluid connection with a dosing tube having a dosing tip, an optional dosing element extending at least partially into the dosing chamber, a dosing control device, and a movement device for moving the dosing tube and the test element closer to one another. The movement device is actuated to move the dosing tube relative to the test element. The dosing control device is actuated to discharge a fluid into the receiving channel. During the discharge, a fluid bridge forms between the dosing tip and the receiving channel. At the end of the discharge, at least some of the fluid reaches the receiving channel through suction force. A disposable cartridge may be used for dosing a fluid into such a receiving channel.

Abstract: Physical properties and soiling resistance of polymer-bound inorganic composites such as artificial stone are improved by incorporating a silane adhesion promoter and at least one of three organosilicon compounds.

Abstract: Exhaust pipe for a motor vehicle, exhaust system of a motor vehicle, and radial seal for an exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe includes at least one first end section having an insert region and at least one second end section having a receiving region. The at least one first and second end sections are connectable to one another in a gas-tight manner by inserting the insert region into the receiving end. A metallic radial seal is arranged between the insert region and the receiving region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sealing surfaces using single-component, moisture-curing coating compositions (C) containing 5 to 75 wt % of one or more silane-terminated polymers (P) having end groups of the formula (I) —O—C(=O) —NH—A—Si (OR1) (I), wherein A stands for a linear or branched alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, R1 stands for a linear or branched, possibly halogenated alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, R2 stands for a linear or branched, possibly halogenated alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and X is 1, 2, or 3, 1 to 80 wt % of one or more fillers (F), 0.1 to 10 wt % of one or more water catchers (W), 0.01 to 5 wt % of one or more hardening catalysts (K), 0.01 to 10 wt % of one or more adhesion promoters (A), and possibly further substances common in moisture-curing coating compositions, wherein the weight amounts total 100%.

Abstract: Coupling element for connecting two pipe ends. The coupling element includes a housing with a first connecting end, a second connecting end, and a connecting channel formed between the first and second connecting ends, and a vent duct having a passage covered by a hygroscopic seal and a vent valve that includes a valve seat and a valve element arranged in series with the hygroscopic seal and the passage. The valve element is structured to be lifted from the valve seat by a pressure in the connecting channel.

Abstract: Alkyl silanes are prepared by silylating an unsaturated hydrocarbon with an Si—H functional silane employing an iridium chloride coordination compound as a catalyst and a polymeric polyene as a cocatalyst. Reaction bottoms can be worked up to provide an iridium-containing composition which remains catalytically active.
