Abstract: Process for preparing flexible polyurethane foam using sustainable polyols such as a biopolyol and a recycled polyol composition. The specific balance of biopolyol and recycled polyol composition enables large amounts of recycled polyol composition to be used in the production of the flexible polyurethane foam, whilst enabling a flexible polyurethane foam to be produced which has good properties and maintains its flexible foam structure. Also provided is a flexible polyurethane foam prepared by the process, a flexible polyurethane foam derived from specific sustainable polyols, and to a polyol composition for preparing a flexible polyurethane foam.

Abstract: A toy belt for stimulation and distraction of a baby during diapering. The belt includes a soft plush elongated belt element configured to snugly encircle and be fastened around a waist of the baby with engaged end fastening elements of hook and eye sections. The belt element has an outward surface section, when the heft is positioned on a stomach of the baby, having plush and hard pull toy elements which are capable of being manually manipulated by the baby are fixedly fastened. The belt and the toy elements are configured to be positioned on the baby whereby they do not interfere with diapering and feeding the baby. The toy belt further contains imbedded lighting and music elements activated by external compression switches.

Abstract: A plastic component with a substrate including a plastic and at least one first fastening piece that is embodied for a form-fitting engagement with a complementarily formed second fastening piece and has at least one anchoring element embedded and fixed in a position in the substrate; the substrate includes soft foam with a weight per unit volume of 120 kg/m3 to 300 kg/m3 and a Shore A hardness of 5 to 100 and the fastening element includes a thermoplastic plastic.

Abstract: The invention includes a system for fastening a planar element, which has a cut-out to a component, which has a borehole having a screw thread 5, including a fastening clip, which has a contact section having at least one contact plane for contacting a first side of the planar element facing away from the borehole, the fastening clip having an elastic first retaining element in a connection section, which first retaining element is connected to the contact section and is designed in such a way that, after the planar element 10 has been fastened, the first retaining element reaches through the cut-out of the planar element into the borehole when the contact plane lies on the first side of the planar element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for fastening a planar element (19), which has a cut-out (22), to a component (20), which has a borehole (18) having a screw thread (21), comprising a fastening dip (1), which has a contact section (2) having at least one contact plane (3) for contacting a first side of the planar element (19) facing away from the borehole (18), the fastening clip (1) having an elastic first retaining element (6) in a connection section (5), which first retaining element is connected to the contact section (2) and is designed in such a way that, after the planar element (19) has been fastened, the first retaining element reaches through the cut-out (22) of the planar element (19) into the borehole (18) when the contact plane (3) lies on the first side (24) of the planar element (19).

Abstract: A plastic component (100) with a substrate (130; 230) comprised of a plastic and at least one first fastening piece (110) that is embodied for a form-fitting engagement with a complementarily formed second fastening piece (210) and has at least one anchoring element (112; 212) for being embedded and fixed in position in the substrate (130; 230); the substrate (130; 230) is comprised of soft foam with a weight per unit volume of 120 kg/m3 to 300 kg/m3 and a Shore A hardness of 5 to 100 and the fastening element (110; 210) is comprised of a thermoplastic plastic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing mass absorber systems, sound insulations having a great thermostable, noise-reducing effect, especially for the engine compartment of motor vehicles. Disclosed is a method for the direct backfoaming of absorber systems, the absorber of which comprises a foam layer (2) or fleece layer (4) with a one-sided or double-sided covering layer (3). Said method is characterized by the fact that the mass side of an absorber having a very low density is provided with a foam-impermeable covering layer (3), the absorber is placed in the foaming tool, and a certain pressure is generated in the absorber via the side located opposite the mass inside the closed foaming tool before the foaming process is triggered.

Abstract: An apparatus for retrieving information stored on an optical disk as colored dots, using an array of laser diodes emitting multiple wavelengths. Colored dots store more information than pits and spaces on optical disks because each colored dot represents a multiple-bit code of information rather than a single bit. The optical disk reader directs multiple wavelength diode laser beams to the disk surface. The reflected beams are then separated using an array of dichroic filters, and sent to light sensors. The light sensors identify the intensity of each of the reflected frequencies and determine the wavelength combination being reflected from the optical disk, which corresponds to a multiple-bit code.
