  • Publication number: 20240097408
    Abstract: A Marx configuration has a housing surrounding an interior, and a Marx generator arranged in the interior. The Marx generator has a plurality of capacitor stages connected in series, each having at least one first and one second voltage terminal, and respective cross branches. Each two adjacent capacitor stages between the first terminal of the preceding and the second terminal of the following capacitor stage are connected by one of the cross branches. Each of the cross branches contains a spark gap, a sealed gas space for an insulating gas for the spark gaps which are arranged in the interior and at least two of the spark gaps. All spark gaps are arranged in a respective gas space, and the interior contains a sealed fluid space for a cooling fluid for the Marx generator. A base support disposed in the interior and surrounds the gas space partially.

  • Publication number: 20200096012
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for interruption of a fluid flow along a fluid flow path passing through the valve, the valve includes an inlet adapter, a valve body connected to the inlet adapter, a seal arranged between the inlet adapter and the valve body with a seal opening through the seal for the fluid flowing when the valve is open, a motor control gear unit, and a sealing body with a ball segment-shaped sealing surface element and bearing element arranged on the side of the sealing surface element. The sealing body is mounted within the valve body so as to be rotatable around an axis running substantially perpendicular to the fluid flow path and through the bearing element.

  • Publication number: 20170365429
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a magnetic release mechanism includes steps: a first measurement of the present release current I of the magnetic release mechanism is carried out, a decision is made as to whether an adjustment step is performed, a start-adjustment current IJ0 is selected, a second measurement of the present release current I of the magnetic release mechanism is carried out, a decision is made as to whether an adjustment step is performed and that in the event that an adjustment step is necessary, a selection of a certain differential amount ?IJ takes place, partial demagnetisation of the permanent magnet is carried out in a further adjustment step with the adjustment current IJ formed in this way and the steps are carried out in succession until the release current I measured lies within a specified range between ITARGET_min and ITARGET_max.

  • Publication number: 20160108511
    Abstract: A method for spray-coating substrate surfaces, in which (a) a thermoplastically processable material is molten and thus liquefied in an extruder in a first step; (b) the molten material is pressurized by means of a carrier gas or vapor; (c) a mixture formed from said molten material and said carrier gas or vapor is pressed through one or more nozzles, optionally supplying a spraying gas having a temperature at least as high as the melt temperature to the spraying jet in the region of the discharge opening of the nozzle; and (d) the obtained spray jet with the molten material is directed onto the substrate surface, wherein the material impinges in drops in a flowable state onto the substrate surface, forms a continuous coating on the substrate surface, and subsequently solidifies.

  • Patent number: 7433768
    Abstract: In a method, a steeringwheel torque for the steering wheel of a motor vehicle is determined. In this context, a steering angle for steered wheels is predefined by the driver by means of the steering wheel. A steering torque which represents the forces on the vehicle axle acts on the steering wheel. A desired manual torque (M_soll) is determined here using at least one axle model. The desired manual torque is then superimposed on the actual steeringwheel torque (M_ist).

  • Publication number: 20060015226
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a steering torque which acts when a steering wheel is activated in motor vehicles. In a motor vehicle, the steering torque which acts when a steering wheel is activated is determined. The motor vehicle here is in particular a motor vehicle whose steered wheels are driven. In this context, according to one method according to the invention the interference torque component (M_stör), based on interference influences, of the steering torque is determined. A steering torque (M_soll) with reduced interference force, in particular free of the influence of an interference force, is then generated at the steering wheel by means of a torque generator (108).
