Abstract: A thermosiphon system in an engine is provided herein. The thermosiphon system includes a coolant channel traversing a bearing housing, the bearing housing included in a bearing coupled to a shaft mechanically coupled to a turbine and a compressor in a turbocharger, a ventilation vessel in fluidic communication with at least one coolant passage traversing at least one of a cylinder head and a cylinder block in the engine, the at least one coolant passage included in a cooling circuit, and a thermosiphon coolant line having an inlet in fluidic communication with an outlet of the coolant channel and an inlet of the ventilation vessel, the inlet positioned vertically below an interface between liquid and vapor coolant in the ventilation vessel.

Abstract: A supercharged liquid-cooled internal combustion engine is provided. In one example, a bearing of a turbocharger is cooled in response to a thermal load of the turbocharger. In this way, coolant flow rate to the bearing may be provided based on cooling demand.

Abstract: A cooling arrangement for an internal combustion engine is described, with a coolant balancing tank which is capable of being filled with coolant and the inlet side of which is connected via a first venting line to an internal combustion engine and/or via a second venting line to a cooler for cooling the coolant, and the outlet side of which is connected via a coolant return line to the inlet side of a pumping device for pumping the coolant through the internal combustion engine. The cooling arrangement has, furthermore, a flow control unit for variably limiting the coolant volume flow in the venting line.

Abstract: The invention proposes a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation containing a mixture of medium-chain, preferably saturated triglycerides with a fatty acid chain length of between C8 and C10 of between 60% and 98% and a content of saturated, long-chain, preferably saturated triglycerides with a fatty acid chain length of between C18 and C24 of between 2% and 40% as a vegetable replacement for Vaseline

Abstract: Coating, sealing and adhesive compositions which are shelf-stable under the exclusion of moisture are produced from polyether urethanes containing prepolymeric NCO groups and alkoxysilanes having amino or mercapto groups and .gtoreq.2 ether oxygen atoms in at least one alkoxy residue.

Abstract: Elastic synthetic-resin compositions useful as adhesive and sealing compounds, for example, for absorbent and nonabsorbent undercoats on surfaces, are based, in particular, on polyurethane and have incorporated therein as adhesion promoters silanes containing polyoxyalkyl groups of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is --SH, --NHR.sup.2, ##STR2## or --(NH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2).sub.b NHR.sup.2, b is 1 or 2,R is --CH.sub.3, --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.3 or --OR.sup.1,R.sup.1 is --(CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.m --R.sup.3,R.sup.2 is H, an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group each of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or such a group which is substitutedR.sup.3 is alkyl of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or substituted alkyl of 1-10 carbon atoms,R.sup.4 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms,n is a number from 1 to 8,m is a number from 1 to 30,p is .gtoreq. 1, andq+p is .ltoreq. 2.The synthetic-resin compounds of this invention have improved adhesion to diverse substrates even without the use of adhesion-promoting coatings.

Abstract: A sealing and coating compound hardening in the presence of moisture and comprising a mixture ofA. an addition product formed between an excess of a di- or poly-isocyanate having aliphatic or cycloaliphatic isocyanate groups and a polyester polyol or a linear or branched polyalkylene oxide having terminal hydroxy groups, andB. a di- or poly-functional enamine which is prepared by reacting an aliphatic aldehyde or cyclic ketone and a polyaminoamide which is the condensation product formed between an excess of a secondary diamine and at least one acid selected from the group consisting of di- and poly-carboxylic acids having 6 to 72 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Elastic hardened epoxy resin polymers prepared by the reaction of a liquid polyepoxy resin with the amino-terminated hydrolysis products of enamine- or ketimine-terminated adducts formed by reacting a polyalkylene ether glycol with a polyisocyanate to form a polyether urethane and then reacting the polyether urethane with an enamine or ketimine having an hydroxy group.

Abstract: Adhesive compositions comprising an ester of .alpha.-cyanacrylic acid of the formula ##EQU1## plasticized by the presence therein of a lactone such as .gamma.-butyrolactone, .epsilon.-caprolactone, or cumarin.

Abstract: Prepolymers having enamine or ketimine groups therein are prepared by reacting a polyisocyanate with a mono-enamine or mono-ketimine having an hydroxy group. The prepolymers may be used as mixtures with further isocyanate, which mixtures harden in the presence of water or atmospheric moisture and are useful as lacquers, casting and patching resins, and for coatings and laminates.
