Abstract: In a method for operating a hybrid drive device of a motor vehicle, which has at least two different drive assemblies, especially an electric machine and an internal combustion engine, that are able to be connected to at least two drive trains of the motor vehicle, during the reconnecting of one of the drive assemblies, particularly from a first to a second of the drive trains, or from the second to the first drive train, and/or during a synchronization, a replacement torque substantially corresponding to the torque produced by the one drive assembly is able to be provided by an additional one of the drive assemblies by the at least partial closing of a clutch.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wedge-shaped heating element (or heating wedge) for an apparatus for contact welding of plastic films or plastic sheets (2, 3) and to a method for producing it. In order to provide that the heating element (1) is usable for different plastic materials and has high strength, high abrasion resistance, and high temperature and thermal shock resistance to approximately 800° C., as well as corrosion resistance to the chemical factors that occur in welding various polymer materials, the invention proposes that a ceramic material be used as the material for the heating element (1).

Abstract: A process for preparing membrane layers employing an apparatus suitable for plasma surface treating (e.g. forming a membrane layer on a substrate) which comprises a plasma generation section which is operable at least at substantially atmospheric pressure and is in communication via at least one plasma inlet (e.g. a nozzle) with an enclosed plasma treating section which is operable at a lower pressure than the plasma generation section, and wherein the plasma treating-section is in communication with an inlet for a fluid (e.g. polymerizable) reactant. A plasma beam generated in the apparatus and containing at least one fluid reactant impinges on the surface of a substrate to form a membrane layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing non-porous, selective membrane layers by contacting a permeable, continuous substrate (e.g. comprising a non-porous, permeable intermediate layer and a microporous support layer) with the glowing zone of a plasma.

Abstract: A low melting, eutectic melt salt composition comprising Li.sub.2 CO.sub.3, Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, also containing MnCO.sub.3, is disclosed including its use as a melt in the process for the removal of contaminants, e.g., H.sub.2 S, COS and/or fly ash, from gases obtained by partial oxidation/combustion.

Abstract: A noise-, and vibration-, damping article for use in a building structure is a laminated composite consisting essentially of a backing strip which on each of its two sides is provided with a damping layer comprising a viscoelastic material. At least one of said damping layers includes a granular material receptive to bonding with a material of the building structure.
