  • Patent number: 10693129
    Abstract: A process for producing a silicon-SiC composite powder is provided. A gas stream I containing SiH4, Si2H6 and/or Si3H8 and at least one hydrocarbon of ethene and acetylene and a coaxial gas stream II containing hydrogen are fed into a hot wall reactor. The gas stream II forms the jacket stream with respect to the gas stream I. At least the gas stream I is reacted at a temperature of 900° C. to 1100° C. and subsequently at the outlet of the hot wall reactor the reaction mixture is cooled or allowed to cool and the pulverulent reaction product is separated from the gaseous materials.

  • Patent number: 9791289
    Abstract: Predefined route data for a driving route situated in front of the vehicle in the driving direction are provided. Further, at least one predefined predictive operating variable for the vehicle is provided. A three-dimensional model for a predefined environment of the vehicle is determined as a function of the route data. A graphic element is determined as a function of the three-dimensional model and of the at least one predictive operating variable. A head-up display of the vehicle has a predefined display field. The graphic element is displayed in the predefined display field. The graphic element is determined and displayed such that the graphic element is perceived by a viewer of the display field from a predefined viewing position with direct reference to the real environment of the vehicle.
