Abstract: Bearing bushing for universal joints, made of thin plate and consisting of a cylindrical sleeve and a bottom wall formed internally with the sleeve. The bottom of the bearing bushing is flat near its outer edge and is provided with several stamped areas distributed around the periphery to form crimps. The lateral surfaces of these crimps 17 preferably forming an acute angle alpha. The diameter D of the circle surrounding the outer surfaces is approximately equal to the diameter D of the lateral surface of the cylindrical sleeve. The juncture between the base surfaces of the crimps and the cylindrical sleeve 19 has a relatively large radius.

Abstract: To control the ignition of an internal combustion engine the ignition of a spark plug is determined by means of one ignition coil assigned to each spark plug, of a first counter which, on the occurrence of an angle-fixed reference mark, is counted upwards or downwards starting from a predeterminable value by means of an angle-dependent timing signal for triggering the ignition of a spark plug in the internal combustion engine, the spark plug to be fired in each case being determined via a cylinder recognition system. The start of charging of all the ignition coils of the internal combustion engine is initiated by means of a further counting device, the count of which changes the conditioned-by-the-angle-dependent timing signal, and which in each case is assigned a starting value which corresponds to the gap up to the start of charging of the next coil. Thus while the first counting device triggers the ignition process, the second counting device determines when the charging process of an ignition coil begins.

Abstract: Roller bearing cage, especially for cylindrical roller bearings or needle bearings, which presses the rolling elements elastically in the radial direction against a raceway to prevent rippling, characterized in that, at least at one point (6), the cage (1) has notches (8) proceeding from the end surfaces (10) and a connecting part (11), which is rigid in the peripheral direction and which is located between the notches; and in that, in the peripheral direction, a recess (9), extending approximately across the width of the cage, is provided on one or both sides next to notches (8), this recess forming the boundaries of elastic sections (12).
