Abstract: A composite pane having an electrically conductive coating includes an outer pane having an outer-side surface and an interior-side surface and an inner pane having an outer-side surface and an interior-side surface, wherein the interior-side surface of the outer pane and the outer-side surface of the inner pane are connected to one another by a thermoplastic intermediate layer, and wherein, between the interior-side surface of the outer pane and the outer-side surface of the inner pane, at least: the electrically conductive coating and at least one layer of selectively absorbing nanoparticles having an absorption within the wavelength range of 580 nm to 750 nm are arranged.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for removing sulfur-comprising compounds from fuels, wherein a sulfur-comprising fuel is brought into contact with copper-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid MOF.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing the mechanical strength of a solderless electrical connection having a clamp deformable to retain a bundle of wires against a pin has a double-T-shaped cross piece over which a clamp to be tested is slided. The cross piece has a vertical bore therein for receiving a pressure-applying die for subjecting the clamp to a test pressure. The die is actuated by a motor-driven spindle and a transducer transforms the applied pressure to a voltage for display. Pressure is applied following a pre-determined curve corresponding to worst cast configurations of a wire bundle which may result in failure of the clamp to securely retain the bundle.
