Abstract: A reinforcing structure made of a sheet-like cellular base material which comprises material attenuations (3) in a distribution over its area in a view from above, wherein the material attenuations sub-divide the base material into a multitude of material islands (1R; 1T) which are delineated from each other by the material attenuations (3) but are still connected to each other, wherein (a) the material islands (1R; 1T) are convex base polygons in a view from above; (b) a respective plurality of the material islands (1R; 1T) jointly form a convex and preferably regular compound polygon (1H) in a view from above; and (c) the compound polygons (1H) differ, in their number of corners and/or in a ratio of the lengths of their sides, from the base polygons which form the material islands (1R; 1T).

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a three-dimensionally deformable, sheet-like reinforcing structure, wherein material attenuations are incorporated into a sheet-like, cellular base material, distributed over an area of the base material, by means of cutting or sawing, said material attenuations sub-dividing the base material into a plurality of material cells which are delineated from each other by the material attenuations but are still connected to each other.

Abstract: In a sorting and separating method for recycling plastics provided in a mixture of plastics as refuse, said mixture of plastics is sorted and separated according to colours. Fractions of plastics thus obtained, separated according to colours, are sorted and separated according to types of plastic.

Abstract: In a jointing method for joining preformed bodies, a first preformed body (1) and a second preformed body (2) are located relative to each other. By use of a jointing clamp (10) in a jointing zone of the preformed bodies (1, 2) a space (9) is encased into which each of the preformed bodies (1, 2) protrudes. In the encased space (9), a filler (20; 21; 20, 21) is consolidated or exposed to a consolidation such that the preformed bodies (1, 2) in the encased space (9) are compacted into a solid composite by the jointing clamp (10) and the consolidated filler (20; 21; 20, 21).

Abstract: In a foamed metal preformed body, including foamed metal foam material, at least one flow conduit (18) for communicating a thermal treatment fluid is guided through or into the foamed metal foam material.

Abstract: In a metal foam jointing method for joining preformed bodies, a first preformed body (1) and a second preformed body (1, 2) are located in fixed positions relative to each other. By means of a jointing clamp (10), an encasement of a space (9) is formed in a jointing zone of the preformed bodies (1, 2) in which foamable metal foam material (17) is disposed. The metal foam material is foamed in the encasement, as a result of which the preformed bodies (1, 2) are compacted into a composite body.
