Abstract: Various embodiments include a valve comprising a valve body including a valve seat; and a valve element movable along a longitudinal axis to close the on-off valve by sealing against the valve seat. The valve body includes a conical lateral surface. The valve body includes a radially extending spring projection which is resilient in an axial direction and projects radially beyond the lateral surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for pressure control, including a rod and a plunger. The rod has a first end region delimiting a pressurized space and is movable along an axis between a top dead center and a bottom dead center. The plunger has a traverse substantially perpendicular to a plunger axis transmitting kinetic energy from a plunger drive to the rod in a contact region between a traverse surface and a second end region of the rod arranged opposite the first end region. The rod includes a calotte-shaped end region in the contact region of the rod and the traverse includes a calotte-shaped recess in the contact region of the traverse.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an assembly comprising: a housing; a flange having a first and second flange side; and a collar extending into a connector opening of the flange. The flange includes a first assembly opening remote from the connector opening. The first assembly opening has a first peripheral portion contiguous with a first flange surface region and a second peripheral portion contiguous to a second flange surface region and closer to the connector opening than the first peripheral portion. A periphery of the connector opening on the second flange side and/or a surface region of the flange adjacent to the connector opening defines a geometric reference plane. The first flange surface region is more remote in comparison to the second flange surface region in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a fuel pump includes: a housing; and a flange for fastening the housing to an engine. The flange includes two mutually separated parts for encompassing one circumferential part-region of the housing with a housing receptacle clearance. Each of the two flange parts includes two flange connection regions disposed along a flange-bisecting axis opposite the housing receptacle clearance. A first flange connection region part includes a planar connection element disposed in a first flange plane and a second flange connection region of the flange part includes a connection element disposed in a second flange plane and projecting beyond the first flange plane. The planar connection element of the flange part engages in a form-fitting manner with the projecting connection element of another flange part. The projecting connection element of the flange part engages in a form-fitting manner with the planar connection element of the other flange part.

Abstract: A sensor unit for use in the multiphase flow of a harvesting machine, wherein the sensor unit exhibits sensors for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the sensor unit has at least one device for acquiring flow parameters of the multiphase flow. The measuring values of the sensor unit can advantageously be used for controlling the operating mode of the harvesting machine.

Abstract: A valve arrangement for a high pressure pump includes a pump housing with a depression, and a valve housing configured to be inserted in the depression, and a clamping disc. The valve housing has at least one radial projection with a first axial boundary surface and a second axial boundary surface arranged opposite the first axial boundary surface, wherein the clamping disc extends radially over the radial projection of the valve housing and has a third axial boundary surface that corresponds with the second axial boundary surface of the valve housing. On the circumferential side, the clamping disc has a thread that can be screwed into a thread on the inner side of the depression to brace the valve housing onto the first boundary surface.

Abstract: An orientation layer for liquid crystal display devices is formed from an organic tin compound of the type:R.sub.n SnX.sub.4-nwherein R is an organic radical; X is a reactive residual radical and n is an integer ranging from 1 to 3, by applying such organic tin compound onto a free surface of a carrier plate of a liquid crystal display device and generating the desired layer. In a preferred embodiment, the organic radical is an alkyl and the reactive residual radical is chlorine. In a preferred embodiment, the orientation layer is applied via an immersion technique wherein a select organic tin compound is dissolved in a suitable organic solvent, applied to a carrier plate surface and thereafter dried at somewhat elevated temperatures.
