Abstract: A tensioning device, more particularly a hydraulically actuated chain tensioner, for a chain drive of an internal combustion engine, having a tensioner housing, a tensioning piston which is displaceably guided in a piston bore of the tensioner housing and has a piston skirt, a transport securing means for fastening the tensioning piston in the tensioner housing, a adjustment apparatus for incrementally adjusting and limiting the working range of the tensioning piston, and a final position securing means for the captive arrangement of the tensioning piston in the piston bore. The transport securing means, the adjustment apparatus and the final position securing means together have a single securing ring for fastening the tensioning piston in the tensioner housing, the incremental adjustment and limiting of the working range of the tensioning piston and the captive arrangement of the tensioning piston.

Abstract: A tensioning or guide rail for a flexible drive, in particular a chain drive of an internal combustion engine, comprises a support body, a sliding lining body attached to the support body and provided with a sliding surface for contacting a flexible drive means. In addition, the sliding lining body has a fastening opening extending from a rear face, which rests on the support body, to the sliding surface and having arranged therein a fastening bolt connected to the support body by a force-closed connection or an integral bond, and the fastening bolt comprises an enlarged formed head produced by means of a riveting process and used for securing the sliding lining body on the support body.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein include systems, methods, and software for interactive video projection system content generation. Such content is content consumed by a system that projects a scene view on a surface, such as a wall, screen, or floor, and is interactive with user motion. User motion is captured as input via a camera or other imaging device and processed on a computing device to determine where in a projected scene a user is moving. The scene is then modified based on the detected motion. A user generates content for consumption in such embodiments by providing image and variable input to populate a graphical rendering template when rendered for presentation to a user.

Abstract: A tensioning mechanism for tensioning an endless drive device such as, for example, a chain or a belt, is provided, with a tensioning device which can operatively engage with the endless drive device, a tensioning device seat in which the tensioning device is movably received, a pressure chamber being formed between the tensioning device and the tensioning device seat, a fluid inlet which opens into the pressure chamber, a fluid outlet exiting from the pressure chamber and a valve disposed in the fluid outlet. A tensioning mechanism is provided that avoids the drawbacks of known tensioning mechanisms and is, in particular, operable independently. It is provided for this that the valve is controlled automatically depending on temperature.

Abstract: An interactive video system includes an image capturing device, for example a video camera, for capturing user motion, and a graphical display which is arranged to be altered in response to detection of user motion as captured by the image capturing device. A user interface is arranged to display a visual representation of the motion detected by the system to assist in calibrating the system in relation to a surrounding environment.
