  • Publication number: 20230092363
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide an electrochemical cell which can be produced as simply as possible and with which fluid can flow out of the interior in the event of an overpressure in the interior of the electrochemical cell. This is achieved by an electrochemical cell that comprises a housing, which surrounds the interior of the electrochemical cell, and a rupture device, which is arranged on a wall of the housing and is in particular formed integrally with the wall, wherein the rupture device comprises at least one rupture web, wherein the at least one rupture web has a thickness varying in the longitudinal direction, and/or wherein the at least one rupture web is formed by at least one first depression, which is arranged on an inner side, facing the interior, of the wall, and by at least one second depression, which is arranged on an outer side, facing away from the interior, of the wall.

  • Patent number: 10584036
    Abstract: A method for producing an inorganic silica gel fiber or aerogel fiber, comprising the following steps: a) extrusion of a gel, in particular a hydrogel or alcogel, by means of a spinneret directly into a coagulation bath to form at least one filament, b) stretching of the filament in the coagulation bath, c) regeneration of the filament by extraction from the coagulation bath, and d) supercritical drying or freeze drying in order to convert the filament into a silica fiber, in particular an aerogel fiber.

  • Publication number: 20190293145
    Abstract: A pressure stop cap for a motor vehicle vibration damper includes a disk-shaped end portion which is formed in an end area of the pressure stop cap and forms a rebound surface for an impact absorber, a tubular portion extending axially from the disk-shaped end portion, and at least one vent opening which is arranged adjacent to the end portion in the end area of the pressure stop cap and extends radially through the tubular portion. The pressure stop cap has a groove-like circumferential recess which is formed at its outer surface and which divides the outer surface of the pressure stop cap axially into a first pressure stop cap portion and a second pressure stop portion, the first pressure stop cap portion being formed in the area of the end portion.
