Publication number: 20080296112Abstract: A shifting device (1) for shifting a motor vehicle transmission with a shift selector shaft on which a plurality of shift elements (2) such as shift forks or shift rockers (3) are arranged and can be displaced to carry out a shifting operation. The shifting device (1) includes one hydraulic shift cylinder (5, 11, 18, 25), that can be actuated from both sides, with a piston (9, 15, 16, 19, 26) that can be displaced within a cylinder housing (6) and which is actively connected with a shift element (2) to be actuated. To simplify a shifting device (1) of this type, the piston (9, 15, 16, 19, 26) has a piston rod (10, 17, 23, 29) that follows the movement of the piston (9, 15, 16, 19, 26) and can be connected directly to the shift element (2) in a detachable manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2007Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Rudolf Kauffeldt, Hans-Joachim Martin, Gerhard Gumpoltsberger, Michael Ebenhoch, Wolfgang Rieger, Michael Drabek, Stefan Csajagi

Publication number: 20080202450Abstract: A bypass valve for blocking oil flow through a radiator from a transmission with low oil temperatures includes an oil supply from the radiator, an oil supply, via a bypass line, an oil outlet and a valve unit arranged inside the valve housing. The valve unit includes a compression spring and a heat sensitive element, which move depending on the oil temperature such that when the temperature falls below a threshold value, the oil supply from the radiator is closed and the supply, via a bypass line, is opened. When the oil temperature rises above the threshold value, the oil supply from the radiator is opened and the supply, via the bypass line, is closed. The valve unit can be axially moved against the force of the compression spring, when a predefined oil pressure is reached, thus opening the supply, via the bypass line.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2006Publication date: August 28, 2008Applicant: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Hans-Joachim Martin, Anton Fritzer

Patent number: 6394814Abstract: An electrical plug-in connector for electrically connecting two regions separated by a wall. The wall has an assembly hole with a reinforcement bead on a first wall side around the hole. The connector includes a connector part positioned on a second wall side. A guide bushing is positioned on the first wall side. An extended portion of the bushing penetrates the hole in the wall. The extended portion has a support flange and a lock stop. The support flange is supported on the bead on the first wall side. The lock stop extends through the hole to the second wall side and is connected to the connector part. A locking element is connected to the connector part and is operable to engage the lock stop and exert a fastening pressure directed away from the wall towards the connector part such that the extended portion braces the bushing against the hole.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2001Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignees: ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, Leopold Kostal GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Wolfgang Schmid, Gerhard Birkenmaier, Rudolf Fekonja, Peter Epe, Klaus Buhle, Hans-Joachim Martin

Process and apparatus for the agglomeration of hydrolytically sensitive substances by means of steam
Patent number: 5955036Abstract: In the process for the agglomeration of slightly soluble and hydrolytically sensitive substances, a powder of the slightly soluble substance is conducted, together with at least one water-soluble binder, in free fall through a steam atmosphere at temperatures between 85.degree. C. and 105.degree. C. essentially without the action of compacting forces. In this process, the residence time in the steam atmosphere is approximately 0.5 to 10 seconds. The agglomerates formed are then dried in free fall, so that small solid bridges form from the binder liquid bridges formed at the points of contact between the primary particles. In a following integrated fluidized-bed dryer, the final drying then takes place to a water content of less than 0.5% by weight. The process is carried out in a steam jet agglomerator in which a freely falling product curtain of the pulverulent mixture to be agglomerated is impinged by steam using steam jet nozzles (5, 6).Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1999Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ina Seyffert, Hans Uhlemann, Reinhardt Walter, Joachim Martin Maasz -

Patent number: 4728371Abstract: A method for manufacturing regions having adjustable uniform doping in silicon crystal wafers by neutron irradiation according to the reaction Si.sup.30 (n,.gamma.) Si.sup.31 .beta..sup.- P.sup.31 includes the steps of covering the silicon crystal wafer with neutron-absorbing materials of different thicknesses during the irradiation, and selecting materials having isotopes having a high absorption cross-section which yield stable isotopes in the nuclear reaction having small or short-lived activity. Suitable isotopes are B.sup.10, Cd.sup.113, Sm.sup.149, Gd.sup.155 and Gd.sup.157. The regions are generated photolithographically. By such specific material selection, very small layer thicknesses can be used and microfine surface zones or areas can be doped with high geometrical precision and large penetration depth. The method is particularly suited for manufacturing power thyristors.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1986Date of Patent: March 1, 1988Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ernst W.
