Abstract: An absorbent incontinence product with a main piece formed of a front section, a back section and a crotch section which lies in a longitudinal direction between the front and the back sections and is intended to be placed between the legs of a user. The main part has an absorbent body and first material sections which are attached to the back section and/or to the front section and extend in the transverse direction over first longitudinal side edges of the main piece and second material sections which are attached to the back section and/or to the front section and extend in the transverse direction over second longitudinal side edges of the main part. The first and second material sections connect the front section to the back section when the product is applied.

Abstract: A pyrotechnic charge for production of IR radiation, which is characterized in that a brominated compound is included as a fuel and/or as an oxidant and/or as a binder. A pyrotechnic charge such as this can be used, for example, to produce an IR decoy with ?-band spectral matching.

Abstract: An infrared decoy flare composition for generating infrared radiation, including a fuel, an oxidizing agent and a binder, wherein the decoy flare composition contains no metals or metal-containing compounds and no halogens or halogen-containing compounds. Such an infrared decoy flare composition can be particularly advantageously used in aerial infrared decoy flares for civil aircraft.

Abstract: A floatable smoke pot which floats in a stable position with a casing can water-tightly closed by a cover through a closure device. Smoke-generating bodies of a pyrotechnic material, which can be ignited by an igniting device, are arranged in the casing can. A stable floating position is achieve through a ballast weight in the casing can at the can bottom (14). A number of column elements forming the smoke-generating bodies are arranged in the casing can in a uniformly distributed relationship, standing on the ballast weight. The space which remains free of the column elements in the casing can is filled with a buoyancy material. The cover has holes which in the unused original condition of the smoke pot are water-tightly closed with closure elements which can be torn open so that the smoke pot can also be submerged in water for a limited time without extinguishing of the smoke-generating bodies.

Abstract: A high-explosive blast effect charge of high performance composed of red phosphorous, an explosive and a binding agent.

Abstract: The optical element in the form of a beam splitter which is used preferably in interplay with optical measurement systems for determining the characteristics on machine tools, or for other measurement purposes. A combination of five-edged prisms which are cemented or glued to one another is provided. The cement surface borders the partial mirroring (50%). The beam splitter is combined with at least one optoelectronic detector. With the latter the point of incidence of the light beam can be determined. A measurement system is formed of a plurality of units, each of which has a machine-mountable housing that encloses such an optical element.

Abstract: Production of diesel oil from hydrocarbon-containing residues in an oil circulation with separation of solids and product distillation for the diesel oil product by energy input with a high-speed chamber mixer and the use of fully crystallized catalysts that consist of potassium-, sodium-, calcium-, and magnesium-aluminum silicates, wherein the energy input and conversion occur primarily in the high-speed chamber mixer.

Abstract: A pyrotechnic charge and a process for preparation thereof, whereby the pyrotechnic charge can be used as an impulse element requiring little space. The pyrotechnic charge has at least one nanostructured, porous fuel body; a protective layer on the surface of the at least one fuel body; and a fluorine-eliminating substance as an oxidizing agent, which is provided in the cavities or porosities of the at least one fuel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a smoke projectile comprising a pyrotechnic active charge which emits in the infrared range and is impenetrable in the visible range. The aim of the invention is to create a smoke projectile which has a simple design while resulting in the line of sight quickly fading in the infrared and visible radiation range on impact at a wide solid angle. The active charge (2) forms a hollow cylinder-shaped stack which comprises several layers (5) of hollow cylinder segments (6) and is disposed within a burnable outer coating (4).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are proposed for production of an infrared area emitter which can be used for defence against guided missiles with infrared homing heads, for example for ships. According to the invention, an aerosol cloud which is emissive in the infrared range is produced by the reaction of a first primary aerosol composed of an aqueous solution of an electron acceptor with a second primary aerosol composed of an aqueous solution of an electron donor in order to produce the infrared area emitter. The use of primary aerosols such as these leads to emission at 3-5 and 8-14 ?m, and does not produce any visual signature either.

Abstract: A pyrotechnic charge for producing IR radiation, in which a deuterated compound is contained as fuel and/or as oxidizing agent or as fuel, as oxidizing agent and/or as binder. The use of such a pyrotechnic charge leads to a greater selective radiant emission in the ?-band (wavelength range) and at the same time to a reduced selective radiant emission in the ?-band wavelength range), so that the signature of a decoy is adapted to that of an aircraft.

Abstract: A pyrotechnic composition which contains black phosphorus as fuel and which can be advantageously used in particular as a pyrotechnic smoke composition.

Abstract: An absorbent incontinence article has a main body portion consisting of a front region, a back region and an interposed crotch region lying therebetween in a longitudinal direction when finally positioned between the legs of a wearer. The main body portion includes an absorbent core and material sections attached to at least one of the back and front regions which extend in the transverse direction beyond lateral lengthwise edges of the main body portion and connect the front region and the back region. The sections of material are folded over themselves along at least one lengthwise direction extending fold line. Partial sections of the material sections adjoining one another over an area in the folded configuration are releasably attached to one another at affixation points.
