Abstract: A container (1) for accommodating an ophthalmic lens during a lens treatment process has a longitudinal axis (11) and comprises as separate elements a containment element (2), a mounting element (3), and a retaining element (4). The containment element (2) comprises a tubular section (21) and a bottom (22) arranged at a distal end of the tubular section (21), the bottom (22) protruding convexly towards the outside at the distal end of the tubular section (21) and being provided with a number of apertures (23, 24), the tubular section (21) at a proximal end (25) thereof having a latch (26) protruding from the proximal end (25) of the tubular section (21) towards the mounting element (3). The mounting element (3) comprises a sidewall (31) extending along the longitudinal axis (11) of the container (1), the sidewall (31) being provided with recesses or orifices (32) which are in engagement with the latch (26) of the containment element (2).

Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle has at least one torque transmission device which when rotating splashes in a fluid, at least two axles each having at least two wheels and at least one controllable coupling device adapted for selectively coupling or decoupling the torque transmission device with at least one of the wheels. The method includes the steps of: in an operating state in which no torque is requested by a driver of the vehicle, decoupling with the control device the torque transmission device and the at least one wheel when a driving speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed threshold value and coupling with the control device the torque transmission device and the at least one wheel for torque transmission when the driving speed is smaller than the predetermined speed threshold value.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for connecting two components by TIG welding, the components consisting of an air-hardening steel alloy and, for example, of the material T23 or T24. A joint is produced between the components that are to be connected, said joint widening, in particular, from an inside toward an outside. First, a root layer is welded in the region of the inside. Subsequently, a fill layer adjoining the root layer is welded, so that the joint is at least 90% filled. Finally, a cover layer is welded onto the fill layer, whereby the welding parameters are prespecified in such a manner that a temperature in an optimizing temperature range is adjusted on the inside in the region of the root layer.

Abstract: A device for conditioning the lubricating oil of a torque transmission device for motor vehicles, in particular for gear transmissions, in which the lubricating oil is heated at least temporarily in the cold state in order to reduce friction and/or churning losses.

Abstract: A charge air cooler for an internal combustion engine, includes a charge air inlet and a charge air outlet which are fluidly connected with each other via multiple charge air channels which are arranged parallel to each other and arranged parallel to each other and subjectable to a coolant flow; and at least one flow guide element arranged upstream of the charge air channels, wherein the flow guide element at least in one operating state of the internal combustion engine deflects charge air entering through the charge air inlet the direction of a condensate accumulation volume of the charge air cooler.

Abstract: A method of removing a liquid from a container (1) for accommodating an ophthalmic contact lens, in particular a soft contact lens, during transporting the container (1) from a liquid bath (13) to a subsequent processing station (14), the method including the steps of: transporting the container (1) from the liquid bath to the subsequent processing station, generating suction (20), and applying the suction (20) to a bottom (11) of the container (1) during the step of transporting the container (1) from the liquid bath to the subsequent processing station, thereby removing the liquid from the container (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for connecting two components by TIG welding, said components consisting of an air-hardening steel alloy and, in particular, of the material T23 or T24. A joint 17 is produced between the components that are to be connected, said joint widening, in particular, from an inside toward an outside. First, a root layer is welded in the region of the inside. Subsequently, a fill layer adjoining the root layer is welded, so that the joint is at least 90% filled. Finally, a cover layer is welded onto the fill layer, whereby the welding parameters are prespecified in such a manner that a temperature in an optimizing temperature range is adjusted on the inside in the region of the root layer.
