Abstract: Dispensing of hot water having an adjustable temperature by way of a water outlet fitting that can be installed on a sink. This is achieved by a continuous flow heater and a measured value sensor arranged in a water inlet of the water outlet fitting as the hot water heater. The measured value sensor detects a measurement variable with regard to water flowing through the continuous flow heater (10). The water dispensing device has a control unit, which is designed to regulate a flow rate through the continuous flow heater as a function of measured values of the measured value sensor in order to adjust the temperature of the hot water.

Abstract: In a filter insert for use in a water outlet fitting with integrated drinking water filter, which has a structure closed on all sides and with an inner hollow space and in which at least a part of its outer surface is designed as a filter-active surface through which water to be filtered passes from the outside inward, a mouthpiece pointing outward in the shape of a collar and forming a mouth orifice is arranged which can be received by an opening in a fitting-side filter housing and from which filtered water can flow freely out of the inner hollow space without contact with the filter housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for decoding a composite radio signal at a receiver in an OFDM based radio communication system, said composite radio signal being a superposition of at least two signals sent by at least one transmitter, each signal having signal properties, in particular modulation scheme, coding scheme, said at least two signals being transmitted using the same radio resource on a set of frequency subchannels of said OFDM system. According to the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: gathering at said receiver information on said signal properties of the respective signals comprised in said composite radio signal; selecting, depending on said signal properties of said respective signals, the signal to be decoded first out of said composite radio signal; decoding said signal to be decoded first according to its signal properties, and subtracting the contribution of said signal to be decoded first from said composite radio signal.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A structural component (1) is made out of long- fiber reinforced thermoplastic material (LFT) with integrated continuous fiber (CF) – reinforcement. It includes at least three individually integrated, shaped CF - profiles (10), which form a three-dimensional intersection point (50). In this, at least one CF - profile (10) lies in an upper plane (H1), at least one CF-profile lies in a lower plane (H2) of the intersection point and at least one CF - profile extends continuously in a vertical direction (v) between these CF - profiles of the upper and of the lower main plane. The CF - profiles (10) are connected to one another by shapings (32) of the LFT - mass (6) at the intersection point in a force-transmitting manner. At several points loads (L) are exerted on the CF - profiles. Such three-dimensionally applied loads (L) are capable of being optimally supported.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure The method enables the series production of light structural components out of long-fiber thermoplastic material (LFT) with integrated continuous fiber (CF) - reinforcements in a single stage LFT - pressing step. In this, CF - tapes (5) are melted open and transferred into a profile tool (21) of a CF - profile forming station (20), there are pressed for a short time period and shaped into the required CF - profile (10). In doing so, by means of contact with the thermally conditioned profile tool (21) on the profile surface (11) a shock-cooled, dimensionally stable, thin casing layer (12) is formed and the inside of the CF - profile remains melted. Following a defined short shock-cooling period (ts), the CF - profile (10) is transferred into an LFT - tool (31) and pressed together with an introduced molten LFT - mass (6). In doing so, the casing layer (12) is melted open again on the surface (11) and is thermoplastically bonded together with the surrounding LFT - mass.

Abstract: To provide thermal relief, particularly of the edge of disk-shaped gate-turn-off GTO thyristors (GTO) as are used in converters in power electronics, at least one cooling segment which is isolated from a GTO cathode metallization of the GTO thyristor segment (GTO) by a gate electrode metallization of a gate electrode is arranged on the edge and laterally adjacent to the GTO thyristor segment (GTO). An insulation layer is provided between a cooling segment metallization and the gate electrode metallization. Cooling segments in an lo outer annular zone can be alternately arranged with GTO thyristor segments (GTO) or offset towards the outside in the radial direction or perpendicular direction thereto. Instead of cooling segments, a p.sup.+ -type GTO emitter layer of the GTO thyristor segments (GTO) can be shortened at the edge in the outer annular zone.

Abstract: In a method of making an encircling groove (8) on the edge of a semiconductor slice (5) of a power semiconductor component, first of all the edge is surface-ground and then the groove (8) is ground in one operation by means of a form-grinding wheel (3) correspondingly contoured on the edge. An especially high output is achieved with diamond grinding wheels of appropriate grain size and suitable bond.
