  • Patent number: 7424211
    Abstract: An arrangement for influencing the temperature of flowable media, especially of lubricants found in a lubricant system, has a line through which the medium flow. At least one element (11) is assigned to the line section (1, 5) for influencing the temperature, and can be activated by supplying energy. At least one element (11) is located within the line section (1, 5) in the flow path of the medium. The wall in the line section (1,5) has a connection means (9) for supplying energy to the element (11) located in the line section (1, 5).

  • Publication number: 20080041688
    Abstract: A dual clutch transmission having radially nested clutches including an outer clutch having first inner and outer clutch disks that are interleaved between each other where the first outer clutch disks are operatively mounted to a first outer support carrier. The transmission also includes an inner clutch having second inner and outer clutch disks operatively interleaved between each other and operatively mounted to a second inner support carrier. A common disk carrier has a common clutch disk carrier that operatively supports the first inner clutch disks of the outer clutch and the second outer clutch disks of the inner clutch.

  • Publication number: 20060061018
    Abstract: The invention relates to an installation and method for producing straight ceramic fibres. Said installation essentially comprises a mixing device for producing a suspension of ceramic powder, aqueous amine oxide and cellulose. The suspension production occurs batch-wise or continuously and can take place in one or several steps with the addition of all or individual components. Said installation also comprises a device for concentrating the produced suspension of ceramic powder, aqueous amine oxide and cellulose, whereby said device intensively mixes with heating, shears and transports the suspension with water evaporation, until a precisely determined amount of water evaporates and a suspension of ceramic powder is formed in a mouldable solution of the cellulose in aqueous amine oxide. Said concentrating device also comprises a device linked to the above mentioned device, whereby the mouldable ceramic cellulose solution suspension is processed into ceramic raw fibres in a rope shape.
