Abstract: A hose connection arrangement for inseparably connecting media-conducting hoses in particular, having a first connection element and a second connection element. The first connection element has an annular lug that surrounds an annular end region. A sealing element is arranged therebetween. For inseparable connection of the two connection elements, said elements have at least one latching element pair. The two latching elements latch into one another by plugging the two connection elements together.

Abstract: A device and a method are provided for determining the after-run voltage of a direct current motor which is operated via cycled control. In normal operation the direct current motor is controlled via PWM control and a first specifiable pulse/no-pulse ratio. An evaluation unit is provided for determining an after-run voltage variable which is representative of the after-run voltage of the motor. Furthermore, for determining the after-run voltage variable the direct current motor is controlled via a specifiable, variable second pulse/no-pulse ratio.

Abstract: An oil deflector for an internal combustion engine has first and second oil-deflecting plates between a crankshaft and an oil pan. In order to configure the overall space, and in particular the overall height, of an oil-deflecting device so that it is as small as possible, it is proposed to arrange the oil-deflecting plates such that they overlap at a distance apart over the length of the crankcase. The longitudinal edge of the second oil-deflecting plate forms a main oil scraper edge. Strip-shaped ribs are arranged between the oil-deflecting plates, in their overlapping region, for the purpose of guiding oil in the direction of a suction point of the oil pan. The first oil-deflecting plate has apertures in the region of the width of a respective crank assembly assigned thereto. These apertures serve as secondary oil scraper edges.
