Abstract: The invention relates to a storage-stable resin film based on polyurethane systems having a very high characteristic number and fiber-composite components (composite components, molded bodies) produced therefrom by compressing the resin film, in combination with fiber-reinforced materials such as woven fabrics and fleece, at high temperatures and under pressure, and to a method for the production thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to foams of high thermal stability, to the production thereof from organic polyisocyanates and polyepoxides, and to the use of the foams.

Abstract: The invention relates to storage-stable prepregs (preimpregnated fibers) based on low-viscosity polyurethane systems having a very high characteristic number and flat fiber composite components (molded bodies; composite components) produced therefrom, which are obtained due to an impregnation method of fiber reinforced materials such as woven fabrics and fleece, and to a method for the production thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to polyurethane casting resins for producing polyurethane potting compounds, which can be obtained from a reaction mixture of polyisocyanates, polyepoxides, polyols, latent catalysts and optionally additives. The invention also relates to a method for producing said compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to fiber-composite components, obtained for example by impregnating fibers with a reaction resin mixture of polyisocyanates, polyepoxides, polyols, latent catalysts and optionally additives. The invention also relates to a method for producing said components.

Abstract: A water-using household appliance includes a treatment chamber, a water softener for wash or rinse water, a regenerating device associated with the water softener and configured to contain a supply of brine, and a storage container disposed in a thermally conductive relationship with the treatment chamber. The storage container includes a liquor volume, a regeneration volume for producing the brine supply, and a first outlet operable for substantially emptying the storage container.

Abstract: A rack insert for a dishwasher rack includes a plurality of undulated wire members disposed successively along a loading direction of a dishwasher. Each undulating wire member includes first and second ends and extends across a majority of a width direction of the dishwasher rack. Each undulating wire member includes a plurality of curves and a tine integrally formed at each of the first and second ends. Each tine extends upward in a vertical direction of the dishwasher.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a washing tub, a latch keeper disposed on the washing tub and mounted on a push rod, and a pivotable door configured to close the washing tub. The door includes a latching mechanism configured to engage the latch keeper in accordance with a closing of the door. An actuator is configured to move the push rod in an opening direction so as to open the door to an ajar position. A return device is configured to return the latch keeper in a direction opposite to the opening direction approximately at least to an initial position upon a further opening of the door.

Abstract: A cutlery drawer for a dishwasher includes a frame extendably supported within a washing tub and a plurality of inserts which are movably disposed on the frame and are configured to hold dishware items to be washed. The plurality of inserts include a horizontally displaceable disposed on the frame so as to be horizontally displaceable in a direction perpendicular to a direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer and a vertically displaceable insert disposed on the frame so as to be vertically displaceable. The horizontally displaceable insert has longitudinal sides extending in the direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer and is disposed on the frame so as to be vertically displaceable at one of the longitudinal sides.

Abstract: The invention relates to high-temperature-resistant foams having low thermal conductivity, to the production thereof from organic polyisocyanates and polyepoxides, and to the use of the foams.

Abstract: A method for carrying out a drying step in a dishwasher that includes a housing, a washing tub, a door with a hinged lower region operable to close the washing tub, an opening device for automatically opening the door to an ajar position and a condensation drying system including a cooling-air flow generator. The method includes guiding a portion of a cooling-air flow along a portion of an underside of a countertop covering a top of the dishwasher housing both before and after the door is opened to an ajar position.

Abstract: A method for dispensing a liquid or pasty cleaning agent and a liquid or pasty bleaching agent into a wash tub of a household dishwasher that includes a housing and a dispensing system disposed in the housing. The dispensing system separately stores and discharges the cleaning agent and bleaching agent. The method includes providing the dispensing system with respective reservoirs for each of the cleaning agent and the bleaching agent that have different capacities from each other. Each of the capacities are larger than needed for a single wash cycle. A first quantity of the cleaning agent and a second quantity of the bleaching agent are dispensed during a wash cycle, and the ratio of the dispensed quantities corresponds to the ratio of the capacities of the respective reservoirs.

Abstract: The invention relates to foams of high thermal stability, to the production thereof from organic polyisocyanates and polyepoxides, and to the use of the foams.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a housing, a motor-driven suction fan disposed in the housing, a fan motor and a power supply device configured to provide power supply to the fan motor. The vacuum cleaner also includes both a rechargeable battery and cord reel permanently integrated in the housing such that the vacuum cleaner is configured to be alternately operable in a battery mode and a mains mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to reinforced pultruded polyurethane and to a method for the production thereof by pultrusion.
