Abstract: The invention relates to a bipolar plate (7) for an electrochemical cell (1), said bipolar plate comprising at least one first monopolar plate (13) having a first bead (15) and a second monopolar plate (17) having a second bead (19), the first bead (15) and the second bead (19) being arranged opposite one another and forming a channel (21), the first bead (15) and the second bead (19) each comprising a central base surface (23) and at least two inclined surfaces (24) and the first bead (15) and/or the second bead (19) comprising at least one outer base surface (25), and wherein the at least one outer base surface (25) and/or the central base surface (23) have at least one opening (27) for the passage of at least one medium (29). The invention also relates to an arrangement of electrochemical cells (1) and a method for operating an arrangement of electrochemical cells (1).

Abstract: The invention sets forth a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve body and an expansion sleeve that cooperates with the valve body. A pressure chamber is defined between the expansion sleeve and the valve body into which a high-pressure conduit discharges which can be made to communicate with an injection cross section into the combustion chamber of the engine via an opening cross section, openable at high pressure, between the expansion sleeve and the valve body. The cup-shaped expansion sleeve is slipped onto the circumferential jacket face of the valve body and braced axially against the valve body; a portion of the expansion sleeve is embodied as a fastening element on the valve body.
