Abstract: An inductive component includes a coil body having an exterior flange and a winding tube, a contact strip on the exterior flange, the contact strip having contact elements, and a wire guide slot formed into the contact strip. In a first region, the wire guide slot is substantially perpendicular to the exterior flange. In a second region, the wire guide slot is angled toward the winding tube relative to the first region.

Abstract: Proposed is an inductive component with a coil body (10), which component features a coil space delimited by exterior flanges (12) and a winding tube (11), a contact strip (13) with contact elements (14) molded to one of the exterior flanges (12), and a wire guide slot (15, 18; 17, 20) which, in a first region, progresses in the contact strip (13), on its underside and at right angles to its longitudinal direction and, in a second region toward the coil space, progresses with variable depth in the exterior flange and, oriented toward the winding tube (11), feeds into the coil space.

Abstract: A spring cap (10), specifically for an electrical component, has a yoke (11) with a central planar area (12) and spring shackles (17) on two opposite sides and handles (13) designed as spring shackles on two opposite sides. The electrical component has a bobbin (20) with connectors (24, 25) attached to it, a magnetic core (30), the parts of which mate with the bobbin by means of a central boss (31), and the spring cap which can be pushed up onto the core which is mated with the bobbin, the handles of which spring cap are in contact with the connectors and the spring shackles of which are in contact with the magnetic core.

Abstract: In a method of continuously producing ethanol from sugar-containing substrates by fermentation of sugars by means of a flocculating strain of Zymomonas mobilis under anaerobic conditions and at a pH of from 4.5 to 7 a substrate is led commonly with Zymomonas mobilis cells through at least three fermentation stages without preceding sterilization, a concentration of at least 4% by volume of ethanol is maintained in each fermentation stage, a residence time of the fermentation medium in the entire system of maximally 31/3 h corresponding to a dilution rate of the fermentation medium in the entire system of at least 0.3 h.sup.-1 is adjusted, the Zymomonas mobilis cells are separated by sedimentation after the final fermentation stage, the Zymomonas mobilis cells are recycled into the first fermentation stage, and the ethanol-containing substrate separated from the Zymomonas mobilis cells is drawn off.
