Abstract: A stabilizer support structure includes a suspension member in which a side rail portion and a cross-member portion are formed integrally, the suspension member including an upper suspension member that includes a first fastening portion at which a bracket is fastened at an intersection portion between the side rail portion and the cross-member portion, the bracket supporting a rod-shaped stabilizer whose length direction is in the vehicle width direction, and a lower suspension member that forms a closed cross section portion with the upper suspension member; and a reinforcing member that is joined to both the upper suspension member and the lower suspension member inside the closed cross section portion at the intersection portion, the reinforcing member spanning between the upper suspension member and the lower suspension member in the vehicle vertical direction, and being fastened together with the bracket via the first fastening portion.

Abstract: A sealing element of a valve, e.g., a gas valve, for controlling a medium includes a base body having a sealing surface, the sealing surface either (i) being inclined in relation to a center axis of the sealing element or (ii) having at least one inclined area. In addition, a valve seat support of the valve for controlling a medium includes: a first ring-shaped valve seat in a first valve seat plane; a second ring-shaped valve seat in a second valve seat plane; and a passage aperture situated between the first valve seat and the second valve seat, the first and second valve seat planes being perpendicular to a center axis of the valve seat support.

Abstract: A fuel injector for fuel-injection systems of internal combustion engines. The valve includes an electromagnetic actuating element having a solenoid coil, a fixed core, an outer magnetic-circuit component and a movable armature to actuate a valve-closure member which cooperates with a valve-seat surface provided on a valve-seat member. The valve is characterized by its extremely small outside dimensions. The entire axially movable valve needle, including armature and valve-closure member, has a mass of only m<=0.8 g. The valve is suitable as a fuel injector, especially for use in fuel-injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: The present invention relates a topcoating composition and a film-forming process by use of the topcoating composition, which are capable of forming a coated film having good weather resistance and good stain resistance. The present invention provides a topcoating composition prepared by incorporating a specified organosilicate and/or its condensate into a specified organic coating composition, a film formed from said topcoating composition being such that a surface of the film, which has been subjected to an acid treatment, shows a contact angle to water of 70.degree. or less; and a film-forming process which comprises coating said topcoating composition onto a substrate to form a film, followed by treating the surface of the film with an acid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coating composition for preventing adhesion of aquatic organisms, the composition containing as a vehicle component a copolymer prepared by copolymerizing about 5 to about 85% by weight of (A) a monohydric and/or polyhydric phenol ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid; about 15 to about 75% by weight of (B) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a soluble parameter of about 8.0 to about 9.5 and a glass transition temperature of about 0.degree. C. or higher; and about 0 to about 50% by weight of (C) a water-soluble, ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing carboxyl group or amino group, based on the total monomer components.
