  • Publication number: 20210380773
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a reinforcement material in the form of a core-shell structure, in particular of a tyre cord, wherein there is provided in a step a core having linear arrangements, in particular a cord-like core, wherein the linear arrangements have segments that are coupled to one another in a linear way by means of strength-increasing segment couplings, and wherein in a further step the core is provided with a shell by forming a core-shell coupling that increases adhesion, wherein segment couplings that are near to the surface are converted for the core-shell coupling.

  • Publication number: 20150324621
    Abstract: An RFID handheld device is connected at an antenna input to an RFID reading apparatus for the stationary installation at a reading zone, said RFID handheld device having a trigger switch as well as a first antenna and an antenna connector connected to the first antenna so that an RFID signal received by the RFID handheld device, but not evaluated there, can be supplied to the receiver via the antenna input. On actuating a trigger switch at the RFID handheld devices, a trigger signal can be transmitted to the evaluation unit which then carries out a reading procedure via the first antenna.

  • Publication number: 20050160600
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and apparatus for production of a hollow section (1) in which a coiled pre-shape of the hollow section (1) is deep drawn from a sheet part, which is pre-bent after a trimming process and coiled into the final shape of hollow section (1). The edges (45) of hollow section (1) lying in the peripheral direction are then joined together in the contact region. In order to improve the joining capability of hollow section (1) to other components in simple fashion, it is proposed that before the coiling process at least one flat site (35) for joining to another component be embossed before the coiling process in a pre-bent region of the hollow section (1).
