Abstract: Disclosed herein is an internal combustion engine having horizontally arranged cylinder banks which are arranged on remote sides of a crankcase, which accommodates a crankshaft, of the internal combustion engine, and also having at least one exhaust-gas turbocharger with exhaust-gas turbocharger shaft. In an internal combustion engine of this type, it is provided that the at least one exhaust-gas turbocharger is arranged above the crankcase, and the axis of the exhaust-gas turbocharger shaft is arranged so as to be aligned horizontally and at 90° to the crankshaft axis. An internal combustion engine of this type has particularly good thermodynamic characteristics while being of compact design.

Abstract: Method for the production of washers ribbed on one or both sides, wherein the rib profile either is achieved by rolling the raw material of the washers with the washers only after the rolling of the rib profile are punched out or by feeding the already punched out washers in the correct position to a pair of rolls or roll segments, respectively, with the rib structure being shaped by said tools.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel plasmid vectors for transformation of filamentous fungi and to a method of modifiying the genome of filamentous fungi based on these vectors. The invention furthermore relates to the modification of a specific gene via the process of homologous recombination, to recombinant expression of foreign genes in filamentous fungi and to new selection markers for detecting succesfull transfer of the target gene in filamentous fungi.

Abstract: A sealing system for an internal-combustion engine is provided in which a lubricating-oil-carrying space particularly an oil catching space, is separated by wall elements from adjoining space sections, which wall elements have elastic sealing elements for sealing off the spaces. For the compensation of sealing gap tolerances, a sealing element is provided which has at least two sealing arms which come to rest on the space wall to be sealed off. Despite larger sealing gap tolerances, a secure oil-tight separation of spaces is thereby provided.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an oil collector housing positioned beneath a crankcase housing. A lubricating oil pump is positioned inside the oil collector housing, and the oil collector housing contains at least one oil-collecting chamber, into which an oil suction line leads from the lubricating oil pump, forcing the lubricating oil through the delivery side to consumers. A system for supplying lubricating oil to the drive shaft of at least one turbocharger is mounted on the internal combustion engine. The lubricating oil that is fed to the turbocharger is returned via oil lines to the oil-collecting chamber of the internal combustion engine. At least one ascending channel is integrated into the oil collector housing, via which the lubricating oil that has been suctioned off from the turbochargers is returned above the oil level in the oil collecting chamber.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a crankcase in which a crankshaft is held. An oil guide housing is positioned beneath the crankcase, and an oil pump with a drive sprocket for supplying lubricating oil is positioned in the crankcase. The oil pump supplies lubricating oil to consumers from an oil trap in the oil guide housing. The sprocket is encompassed by a cover, and resources are provided in the sprocket cover for scraping/separating lubricating oil that has been drawn along out of the oil trap in the direction of the crankcase by a chain that drives the sprocket. In this manner, the lubricating oil that is drawn and/or carried along by the drive chain is prevented from entering the crankcase and/or the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: An oil catching device and an oil pump for an internal-combustion engine are provided, having an oil catching housing which is arranged below a crankcase and which has at least two oil collecting spaces, in a first oil collecting space an oil pump being arranged which has two pump stages, at whose two suction stages one oil suction pipe, respectively, is connected. The first oil suction pipe reaches in the first oil collecting space in order to deliver the lubricating oil by way of the delivery side of the first pump stage to the consuming devices, and the second oil suction pipe connected with the second suction stage leads to a second oil collecting space. On its top side, the housing of the oil pump has an opening connected with the delivery side of the second pump stage, by way of which opening, the oil suctioned out of the second oil collecting space is delivered into the first oil collecting space. This achieves a defoaming of the suctioned-off lubricating oil.

Abstract: A method for minimum supervision of an offender required to report in to an electronic supervision system. The method includes pre-enrolling the offender in the electronic supervision system and assigning an authorized telephone number. A telephone call is placed by an individual from a telephone located at a remote location, the remote location telephone having an originating telephone number. The telephone call from the remote location is accepted and it is determined whether an ANI of the originating telephone number is available. If available, the ANI of the originating phone number is captured. An enrollee ID number assigned to the offender is entered. The originating telephone number is validated against the authorized telephone number assigned to the offender to verify the location of the remote telephone. It is determined whether a voice template is on file for the offender. The individual is prompted to respond to a plurality of user definable inquiries regarding the status of the offender.
