Abstract: The present invention is in the field of processes for producing flexible organic-inorganic laminates as well as barrier films comprising flexible organic-inorganic laminates by atomic layer deposition. In particular the present invention relates to a process for producing a laminate comprising more than once the sequence comprising: (a) depositing an inorganic layer by performing 4 to 150 cycles of an atomic layer deposition process, and (b) depositing an organic layer comprising sulfur by a molecular layer deposition process.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner is provided with a dirt collection container and a suction head which can be placed on the dirt collection container, wherein the suction head has at least one suction unit which is in flow communication with the dirt collection container via a suction duct and a filter device and with at least one exhaust air opening via at least one exhaust air duct. To provide high suction capacity, a compact construction, and relatively little generation of noise during operation, the suction head has two suction units arranged next to one another, positioned in a vertical direction at the same level as the filter device and surrounded by a common exhaust air chamber, wherein the exhaust air chamber is in flow communication with exhaust air openings via a first and a second exhaust air duct and the filter device is arranged between the two exhaust air ducts.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of homopolymers or copolymers by homopolymerization or copolymerization of free-radically polymerizable water-soluble and/or water-dispersible monomers, optionally with further comonomers and optionally with at least one crosslinker, in an inverse emulsion polymerization in the presence of at least one redox initiator pair comprising an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent, where the reducing agent is 2-hydroxy-2-sulfinatoacetic acid and/or salt thereof; homopolymers or copolymers preparable by the process according to the invention, water-in-oil emulsions which comprise at least one homopolymer or copolymer according to the invention, solid compositions which comprise at least one homopolymer or copolymer according to the invention, the use of 2-hydroxy-2-sulfinatoacetic acid and/or salt thereof as reducing agent in a process for the preparation of homopolymers or copolymers; the use of the water-in-oil emulsion comprising at least one homopolymer or copolymer according to the inv

Abstract: A propulsion control device for a motor vehicle which has a permanently balanced all-wheel drive, wherein the drive slip thresholds at which the control responds in the sense of a braking action, is increased as a function of the velocity and decreased as a function of the transverse acceleration. The acceleration thresholds, at which the control responds, are lowered as a function of the transverse acceleration. In the case of travel in a straight line, the lowest of the wheel peripheral velocities is taken as the reference velocity relative to which the drive slip thresholds are fixed. In the case of travel in a curve, the average of the wheel peripheral velocities of the left-hand side and right-hand side vehicle wheels is taken as the reference velocity for the vehicle wheels on the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the vehicle, respectively. From the time t.sub.

Abstract: A thrust-control device for a motor vehicle having wheels driven on one axle, with a dual-circuit brake system having a tandem main brake cylinder and a brake booster supplied from a special auxiliary pressure source, with an anti-lock system having a brake-pressure medium return device, and with a pressure accumulator serving for thrust control, is extended for use on vehicles with a connectable or permanent all-wheel drive, to the effect that a stop valve is arranged in the brake circuit of the wheels of the further axle and there is a control valve controlling the accumulator pressure and acting on a pressure modulator, the pressure modulator influencing the brake pressure in the brake circuit of the wheels of the further axle when the drive of these wheels is connected and drive slip occurs. This simple extension requires no additional accumulator and makes it possible to preserve the independence of the brake circuits.

Abstract: A shifting arrangement for the shifting between a single-axle standard drive and an all-wheel drive having a first clutch for the locking of a central differential gear and a second clutch for the connecting and disconnecting of one vehicle axle actuated by first and second pressure medium control element respectively against the force of a spring having first and second shift valve respectively controlled by an electronic control unit, to either supply working pressure or relieve from pressure respective control elements. The improvement including a hydraulic identifying valve for bringing the control elements into a mutual interaction. The identifying valve operates, as a function of the working pressure of at least one of the control elements and exclusively during the simultaneous controlling of both shift valves, in such a way that the clutch torque at both clutches increases and decreases approximately to the same extent.

Abstract: A vane for a hydraulic vane pump, with the vane being adapted to be inserted, with sliding movement, into a guide slot provided in a rotor so as to be symmetrical and parallel to a central plane of the slot. The plane forms a setting angle at an outer jacket of the rotor together with an axial plane containing the rotor axis so that an opening of the slot located at the outer jacket of the rotor leads the bottom of the slot in a direction of rotation. A convex sliding sealing surface cooperates with inner jacket of the stator and a pressure surface is located in the plane directed toward a bottom of the slot. A crown of the sliding sealing surface is displaced, with respect to the principle plane of the vane, in a direction opposite the rotational direction of the rotor. The sliding sealing surface forms, in a direction of rotation of the rotor, a wedge-shaped transistional area located at a plane which forms a complimentary angle combined with an addendum angle to the principle plane of the vane.
