Abstract: A centrifugal pendulum for damping rotational irregularities of a driveshaft of an internal combustion engine, having a carrier flange element connectable indirectly or directly to the driveshaft, and having multiple pendulum elements displaceable in relation to the carrier flange element, and guided via rollers in pendulum paths. Each pendulum element is displaceable in relation to the carrier flange element in the circumferential direction between a first and a second stop position. At least one friction element having defined thermal expansion properties, which are different in particular from the carrier flange element and/or the pendulum elements, is associated with the carrier flange element, and is designed and arranged in such a way that in a defined temperature range of the centrifugal pendulum, upon a movement of at least one pendulum element corresponding to the friction element in the direction of a stop position.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing a foodstuff comprises a closed conveyor path, a conveyor device, and a treatment chamber. The conveyor path includes an inlet and an outlet. The conveyor device is positioned within the closed conveyor path and configured to receive the foodstuff from the inlet. The conveyor device is further configured to convey the foodstuff along the closed conveyor path toward the outlet. The treatment chamber is positioned within the closed conveyor path downstream of the conveyor device for receiving the foodstuff from the conveyor device. The treatment chamber includes a rotatably driven first kneading shaft configured to collide the foodstuff within the treatment chamber.

Abstract: The invention concerns a fluid container (1) for a motor vehicle, in particular a fuel tank. The fluid container (1) comprises at least one clamping strap (3) surrounding this to hold it at predefined fixing points of the bodywork (4) of a motor vehicle. The fluid container (1) according to the invention is characterized in that the clamping strap (3) is premounted captively on the fluid container (1) without additional fixing means.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sleeping bag consisting of adjacent chambers that are formed by partition walls. The chambers contain a filling material. The sleeping bag also consist of a zip and inner and outer linings which cover the chambers. The outer lining consist of a waterproof material. The outer lining and the partition walls or the outer lining and fixing stripes being connected to the partition walls consist of a material that can be sealed. The partition walls are sealed onto the outer lining from the inside at the end of said walls or by means of the fixing strips.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air mattress comprised of at least one air chamber made of strips of an air-tight, water vapor permeable or water vapor impermeable material that are welded or glued together. The air chamber is provided with a closable valve for letting air in and out, and the air chamber is filled with a down feather material or a synthetic fiber insulation material.

Abstract: The aliphatic primary alcohols are reacted with a glycose, more especially glucose, in the presence of an acidic catalyst in certain process steps so that particularly light-colored and alkali-stable alkyl glucosides are obtained after a subsequent, compulsory bleaching step, which represents an improvement over known direct synthesis processes. The process may be carried out both on a laboratory scale and also on an industrial production scale.

Abstract: A process for the production of surface-active alkyl glycosides which is carried out by the transacetalization method with butanol, leads to a new alkyl glycoside as end product which is characterized by high color-stability in alkaline medium; besides a high proportion of alkyl monoglycoside, the product also contains polyglycoside on polyglycose and butyl glucoside.
