Abstract: The invention relates to a seat adjuster (100) especially for a seat (105) in a motor vehicle, comprising an adjusting element (115), an electric adjusting device (110) and a transmission device (120) for transmitting adjusting forces between the electric adjusting device and the adjusting element, the transmission device comprising a transmission element (320) for transmitting adjusting forces and the transmission element being flexible at a right angle to the direction of the adjusting forces.

Abstract: A component is described for adjusting a movable part, of a vehicle in particular, having a gear shaft, which extends along an axis of rotation and has a receiving groove, and having a stop disk, which is situated in the receiving groove, the receiving groove being situated obliquely to the axis of rotation. Also described is a component in which the receiving groove has a contour, so that the stop disk is in contact with the receiving groove in a first contact area and in a second contact area in both the unloaded state and under load by a blocking force acting in a spatial direction parallel to the axis of rotation, the first contact area and the second contact area being situated on opposite sides of the stop disk. Also described is a component in which the receiving groove has an upper side and a lower side, at least the upper and/or lower sides of the receiving groove forming an acute angle with the axis of rotation. Also described is a gear shaft of the component.

Abstract: A high temperature fuel cell installation includes at least one high temperature fuel cell block with an anode part and a cathode part. A process for operating the high temperature fuel cell installation includes feeding at least a portion of anode waste gas from the high temperature fuel cell block as working medium to a gas motor coupled to a generator in order to increase energy production. This measure guarantees highly efficient and flexible energy production.
