Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a fat-containing suspension and/or a fat-containing emulsion, in particular a chocolate or a chocolate-like fat composition, by mixing an emulsion formed by means of a reactive emulsifying technique, which emulsion has a disperse aqueous phase and a continuous fat phase, with a fat phase, in particular a cocoa mass. The invention relates, in particular, to a method of producing agave syrup-containing chocolate, wherein an emulsion consisting of cocoa butter or another fat or fat mixture and agave syrup or an aqueous sugar solution is generated and mixed with cocoa mass. According to the invention, the emulsion and later the chocolate are stabilized by emulsification at elevated temperature and evaporating the agave syrup or the sugar solution in the emulsified state. An otherwise customary comminution of the dry materials is therefore no longer necessary since the fineness necessary for sensory properties is set by the emulsifying process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a film made of a vinyl chloride polymer mixture that, in addition to the conventional additives, contains 0.1 to less than 5 wt % of a semicrystalline or amorphous polyester, has a good thermal formability, and is suitable for the packaging of bulk goods. The film is produced by extruding or by calendering the plastified vinyl chloride polymer mixture, optionally followed by inline/offline stretching and, optionally, thermally formed immediately thereafter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaft-hub connection, in particular of assembled camshafts (10) for combustion engines, at which at least two functional parts (14, 16, 18) are shrunk or pressed onto corresponding rotationally symmetric shaft sections (24, 26, 28) with the hub thereof, wherein in an assembly direction (30) of the functional parts (14, 16, 18), the first section (24) is designed with a larger exterior circumference than the second section (26).

Abstract: A packaging film which contains pigment particles randomly distributed in a low surface-area density is used for the authentication of products. An imaging device is used to record a first digital image of a packaged product. The positional coordinates, and optionally the color values, of the pigment particles contained in the packaging film are determined from the digital image by means of a computer program and an identification code is calculated from the coordinate or color values and stored in a database. To authenticate the product at a later time, a second digital image is recorded and a test code is determined and compared with the recorded identification code.

Abstract: A seal for a switchgear enclosure is described. The switchgear enclosure includes a case having an opening defined by a face frame the face frame having an inner frame surface along a face frame hinge side and a door for covering the opening. The door includes a door inner surface and a door hinge side pivotally attached to the face frame along the face frame hinge side. The seal includes a sealing member disposed along the door hinge side of the door adjacent the door inner surface and configured for movement substantially perpendicular to the door hinge side between a disengaged position and an engaged position. The sealing member comprises a flange for overlapping at least a portion of an inner surface of the face frame along the face frame hinge side when in the engaged position.

Abstract: A process is described for preparing aromatic diazonium salts, wherein the starting compound is an aromatic amide and the amide bond is first split hydrolytically and the amine compound thus obtained is diazotized with an inorganic nitrite salt. The diazonium salts thus obtained can be converted to stable salts and then serve as starting materials for further reactions, such as the Heck reaction.

Abstract: A headrest of a motor vehicle seat can be folded down into an inoperative position. The headrest has a headrest body and a headrest bracket which are mechanically connected in such a manner, via a bearing part having a sliding bearing and a pivot bearing that a vertical displacement and a pivoting about a horizontal pivot axis arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle are achievable.

Abstract: A method and a device are provided for adjusting a vehicle reclining seat which can be moved together into a resting position, the backrest of a front passenger seat being able to be folded downward to the rear and forming a resting surface together with a backseat. Provision is made for the front passenger seat and the rear seat to be movable automatically into a resting position and back into the seating position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a monitor (1) that is fastened on a vehicle seat (3) of a motor vehicle. The monitor (1) is optically associated with the head restraint (4) and fastened on a frame part (3.2) of the backrest (3.1). The monitor (1) can be swiveled independently of the position of the head restraint (4). The arrangement of the head restraint (4) parallel to the monitor (1) inhibits the vibration of the monitor (1) during operation of the motor vehicle and prevents the rear passengers from being dazzled when watching the monitor at night.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting the temperature of a motor vehicle seat, which includes a seat ventilating system and a seat heater, to a predetermined desired value, in which the temperature of the seat is detected in the region of a seat surface by a first temperature sensor and the outside temperature is detected by a second temperature sensor, the seat ventilating system is switched off below a first temperature threshold for the outside temperature, and the seat heater is switched off above a second temperature threshold for the outside temperature. By these measures, an occupant may be provided with a comfortable micro-climate in the seat region for his/her well-being.
