Abstract: The invention relates to a load-bearing seat belt retractor for a seat structure of a vehicle seat. The seat belt retractor has two housing halves, between which functional modules of the seat belt retractor are arranged. One functional module is a belt spool with a winding axis, wherein a plurality of support plates oriented perpendicularly to the winding axis is provided on the functional modules, each said support plate having at least two locking noses, and the locking noses engage into corresponding locking holes in the two housing halves. The housing halves have beads and/or reinforcements directed toward the functional modules, and at least one section of a functional module and/or a section of a support plate is supported against the beads and/or reinforcements in at least one direction parallel to the winding axis.

Abstract: Heat treatment of an Alloy 282 which has been subjected to an initial solution annealing followed by cooling can be heat treated by heating the Alloy 282 to a temperature between 954° C. and 1010° C. until the gamma prime (??) phase is sufficiently dissolved, and cooling the Alloy 282 to a temperature a sufficiently low temperature, and at a sufficiently high cooling rate, to suppress gamma prime precipitation. A component such as a turbine exhaust case and a gas turbine engine made of said alloy can be heat treated in the above manner.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented method and system for modifying given layout data on the basis of predetermined parameters for reducing unused white areas in accordance with a given printing layout. The invention is particularly applicable in the framework of label and tag printers employing continuous media. On the one hand, the reduction of unused white areas can lead to an overall reduction in the paper size, thus rendering the labels more environmentally friendly. On the other hand, the layout can also be improved, leading to a better usage of the available space for printing data thereon.

Abstract: A turbine exhaust case has an outer housing to be secured within a gas turbine engine and a central hub. Struts extend between the outer housing and the central hub. The struts are formed at least in part of a first material. The central hub is formed at least in part of a second material.

Abstract: An overlay mattress includes a foil mattress of plastic material in a surrounding envelope of textile material. The foil mattress has channels and a preferably self-closing valve for filling air into the channels that are also at least partly filled with fibers of so-called ball fiber and/or with foam plastics, at least in such an amount that the plastic material of the foil mattress is mutually separated. The channels extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the mattress, and the channels are interconnected via air passages. Methods of manufacturing such an overlay mattress are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of producing rifled, non-metallic barrels of composite material in the form of a fiber-reinforced thermosetting matrix for rocket and grenade launcher ordnance, and barrels produced in accordance therewith. The characterizing feature of the present invention is that this results in barrels with the same fiber content in both the lands of the barrel rifling and in its rifling grooves which has been realized in that a porous fluffy mat with a high capacity to absorb the matrix material is employed in the rifled portion of the barrel.
