  • Patent number: 12265871
    Abstract: A chip card has a flexible inlay including chip card contacts on an upper face of the inlay and which supports an integrated circuit and an antenna, both of which are spaced apart from the contacts. The chip card further includes a top layer with a recess in which the contacts are placed, and a metal layer which is located below the inlay and includes a slit that extends from a peripheral surface of the metal layer to the area of the recess and extends through the entire thickness of the metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20230406968
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of polyisobutene derivatives involves bringing an oxygen-containing gas in contact with polyisobutene, in the presence of a photosensitizer, and irradiating the reaction mixture. The polyisobutene derivatives are useful, for example, in hydrocarbon mixtures or hydrocarbon-containing oils.

  • Patent number: 10276314
    Abstract: A switching and protection device for high-voltage onboard electrical systems having a DC-voltage switch and a fuse, wherein the DC-voltage switch includes a housing, at least two fixed contacts, and a bridge designed to be movable with respect to the fixed contacts, wherein the bridge is formed from an electric insulator, wherein two contacts are arranged on the bridge such that, during a movement of the bridge in the direction of the fixed contacts, the two contacts make contact with the fixed contacts, wherein the two contacts arranged on the bridge are electrically connected to each other via the fuse.

  • Patent number: 9721739
    Abstract: A DC voltage switch for high-voltage on-board electrical systems having a housing, at least two stationary contacts, and a moving contact, wherein, in each case, a first contact region of the stationary contacts is routed out of the housing and, in each case, a second contact region of the stationary contacts is arranged in a switching chamber of the housing with the moving contact, wherein the housing is hermetically encapsulated, wherein a cooling chamber which is separated from the switching chamber by a partition wall is arranged above the switching chamber, wherein the partition wall has at least one outlet opening and at least one inlet opening.

  • Patent number: 8313541
    Abstract: The use of a mixture comprising (A) 5 to 95% by weight of at least one oil-soluble polar nitrogen compound which can interact with paraffin crystals in middle distillate fuels under cold conditions, and (B) 5 to 95% by weight of at least one oil-soluble aliphatic compound with an alkyl or alkenyl chain having at least 8 carbon atoms, obtainable from aliphatic mono- or dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 300 carbon atoms or derivatives thereof with mono- or polyamines or with alcohols, for lowering the cloud point in middle distillate fuels which, before the addition of additives, have a CP of ?8.0° C. or lower by at least 1.5° C. compared to the unadditized middle distillate fuel at a dosage of the mixture of 50 to 300 ppm by weight, with no simultaneous deterioration in the response behavior for the lowering of the cold filter plugging point on addition of cold flow improvers.
