Abstract: The invention is directed to a partitioned rotor blade for a wind turbine, which, with respect to a longitudinal axis of the rotor blade, is formed by a first rotor blade segment and a second rotor blade segment. The first rotor blade segment has at a first connection end, a first connecting region along the longitudinal axis, and the second rotor blade segment has at a second connection end, which is associated with the first connection end, a second connecting region along the longitudinal axis. The two connecting regions are connected at a partition interface of the rotor blade and form a common segmentation region. In the segmentation region, a common outer contour of the rotor blade is formed by the connection of both rotor blade segments. The outer contour is singly curved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for a motor vehicle having a protective element which can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position, with an environment detection unit which can be moved into an active position for image detection by an extension movement and into a resting position by a retraction movement, in which the environment detection unit is arranged to be externally inaccessible behind the protective element located in the closed position, and having a drive unit acting on the environment detection unit for moving the environment detection unit, the environment detection unit having an end face facing the protective element and two has adjoining side surfaces and wherein a pressing element for pressing on the protective element during the extension of the environment detection unit and a separate closing element for closing the protective element during retraction of the environment detection unit are formed on at least one of the side surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a camera arrangement for a vehicle having a camera unit and a pivot mechanism for the pivoting of the camera unit into an active position and into a position of rest. The camera unit is accommodated in a chamber in an inaccessible manner from the outside in the position of rest and is pivoted out of the chamber in the active position for the optical detection of a surrounding zone. The pivot mechanism comprises two pivot arms which are rotatably coupled to the camera unit at oppositely disposed sides thereof and which pivot in opposite directions during the pivoting of the camera unit.

Abstract: A key, primarily a remote control key for automobiles, with a housing that has an upper shell and a lower shell and a key held between the upper shell and the lower shell. To make the key housing more esthetically pleasing and easier to manufacture, the lower shell consists of a transparent plastic joined by laser welding to a colored core of the upper shell.

Abstract: A separation module which contains at least one bundle of ceramic capillaries (9), in which, for controlling the material transport and the flow in the separation module, a certain distance is established between the capillaries (9) by joining. The separation module can be used in a variety of ways in the separation of substances by filtration, also in combination with further measures of chemical process engineering.

Abstract: The invention relates to a catalytically active membrane pore flow reactor, to the membrane used and to processes using this reactor.

Abstract: Method and appliance for carrying out membrane electrophoresis using microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes, wherein the electroosmotic flow which develops in the membrane pores is reduced or offset by pressure superposition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a casing for a key with sensors that are positioned inside the casing and that are actuated by means of push buttons, so that the push buttons are situated in openings of a casing cover and can be displaced against a rebound force perpendicularly to the surface of the casing cover in the direction toward the sensors. In order to improve a generic casing both in terms of production technology as well as in advantageous uses, it is proposed that the push buttons made of a hard plastic are inserted with lateral distance in the openings and are held in place by a soft plastic inset inserted into a recess in the casing cover.
