Abstract: A support customising system is described for a sole of a shoe. The sole includes a relatively soft, resilient midsole and an a harder outsole. Hard insert elements are provided for inserting into vertical cavities in the midsole. By varying the hardnesses of different inserts in different vertical cavities, a precisely-tunable pronation control effect on the wearer's gait can be effected. First-order, second-order and third-order pronation control effects are described. Measures are provided for improving the accuracy of the proprioceptive (sensory motoric) effect on the wearer's foot, for example by limiting the ingress of dirt or water.

Abstract: An aerosol generator, in particular a soot generator. The aerosol generator includes a combustion chamber, in which fuel can be burned with an oxidizing agent in at least one soot-particle-creating flame, and a fluid feeding device for feeding fuel and an oxidizing agent into the combustion chamber. The fluid feeding device has at least three feed lines, the outlet-side end portions of which run parallel, so that at least three fluids of different types, in particular gases, can be introduced into the combustion chamber unmixed and in a parallel inflow direction.

Abstract: A support customising system is described for a sole 1 of a shoe. The sole 1 comprises a relatively soft, resilient midsole 3 and an a harder outsole 4. Hard insert elements 5 are provided for inserting into vertical cavities 2 in the midsole 3. By varying the hardnesses of different inserts 5 in different vertical cavities, a precisely-tunable pronation control effect on the wearer's gait can be effected. First-order, second-order and third-order pronation control effects are described.

Abstract: A method for determining a soot concentration in an engine oil of internal combustion engines, in which method a defined quantity of the engine oil is conducted with a defined flow speed along and/or through a measurement path. In a region of the measurement path, the engine oil is acted on with energy from at least one energy source in such a way that the soot particles contained in the engine oil at least partially absorb the energy. An energy quantity absorbed in the measurement path region is subsequently detected, and from this a soot concentration in the engine oil is determined. A device for determining the soot concentration in the engine oil of internal combustion engines is provided for performing the method.

Abstract: Method and device for controlling an automotive wheel brake, in which in a predefined operating situation, for example at a standstill, the braking force or brake pressure built up, and/or the dynamics of change, are limited. Two pressure control circuits are connected so that the pressure on the two respective wheel brakes is regulated by a pressure control circuit. A wheel brake is completely released in the predefined operating situation.

Abstract: An electrohydraulic brake system as well as a method and a device for controlling the electrohydraulic brake system, in which a hydraulic fluid can be injected from an accumulator into corresponding wheel brake cylinders by valve means, where the hydraulic fluid can be delivered to the accumulator by a pump, whereby means are provided for measuring the temperature of the electrohydraulic brake system, in particular the temperature of the hydraulic fluid, as well as means for taking into account the measured temperature for open- and closed-loop control of the electrohydraulic brake system.

Abstract: A method and a device are proposed for controlling a setting element in a vehicle, in which at preestablished operating states a self test is carried out for driving the setting element. Before carrying out the self test, a drive signal quantity of preestablished magnitude is transmitted to the setting element, the quantity leading to a preestablished deflection of the setting element, and thereafter the setting element is once again returned to its initial position.

The disclosed sodium percarbonate product substantially is a mixed sodium percarbonate/sodium bicarbonate compound obtained by reacting, for example, sodium bicarbonate with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution.

Abstract: A device for fastening an insulation element to a constructional component and including a large-surface head (1); a hollow shank (2) projecting from the head (1) and having an inner space which is freely accessible from an opening (15) provided in the head (1), for receiving a fastening member (3), and a lid supported on the head and pivotable about an articulation axis (16, 17) located outside of the opening (15), for closing the opening with the lid engaging, in its closed position, a projection extending from a head surface extending parallel to a cross-sectional surface of the hollow shank (2).

Abstract: A weighing cell, in which the weight forces of the load are compensated by deformation or electromechanical forces, includes a load carrier which receives the load, a mechanical-electrical load-measuring cell, and an acceleration meter which experiences the same vertical accelerations as the weighing cell. The load cell and the acceleration meter are connected electrically with one another such that the measuring signal which is adulterated by the acceleration action is corrected correspondingly. The load cell has an output signal (A+a) comprising a weighing signal (A) superposed by a spurious signal (a) due to such acceleration. A subtractor receives the output signal (A+a). The output signal of the acceleration meter is balanced to a value (a').
