Abstract: A mixture for producing a fiber or a molded part contains at least one polymer solution, in particular a cellulose solution, and an adsorbing agent. The mixture includes a removable resisting agent for the adsorbing agent. The polymer solution also can be used as a resisting agent. In order to produce a fiber or a molded part, an adsorbing agent is mixed with a polymer solution, in particular a cellulose solution, where a removable resisting agent is applied to the adsorbing agent before or during the mixing process and wherein the resisting agent is removed after the fiber has been spun or after the molded part has been molded. Alternatively or in addition thereto, a method for producing a fiber or a molded part, an adsorbing agent, in particular activated charcoal, is mixed with a polymer solution, in particular a cellulose solution.

Abstract: A non-woven fabric (1) that is modified with activated carbon is needled on an elastic or inelastic textile sheet material (2), preferably a woven fabric or a knitted fabric. With this method, it is achieved that the strength of the textile sheet material (2) can be imparted to a non-woven fabric (1) that is otherwise not tear-resistant, whereby the adsorption properties of the activated carbon that are necessary in protective textiles are completely retained. During needling, the elastic or inelastic textile sheet material (2) is stretched or kept stretched, and stress is relieved after needling. The effect that is thus achieved is that the non-woven fabric (1) does not tear when the textile good or the molded part is stretched again, since the non-woven fabric then is stretched out from a compressed initial state.

Abstract: A mixture includes a polymer solution, especially a cellulose solution, a first additive in the form of an inorganic lubricant and/or stabilizer, for example graphite, and a second additive as an adsorbent, for example activated carbon. The inorganic lubricants and/or stabilizers do not weaken the positive properties of the adsorbent but can even improve them. The mixture can be used to produce fibers (7) or moldings.

Abstract: A non-woven fabric (1) modified by activated carbon is needled onto an elastic or inelastic textile sheet material (2), preferably a woven fabric or a knitted fabric. By this method, the strength of the textile sheet material (2) can be imparted to a non-woven fabric (1) that is otherwise not tear-resistant, wherein the adsorption properties of the activated carbon necessary for protective textiles are completely retained. The elastic or inelastic textile sheet material (2) is stretched or retained stretched while the non-woven fabric is needled on and is relaxed after the non-woven fabric has been needled on. The effect thereby achieved is that the non-woven fabric (1) does not tear if the textile good or the molded part is stretched again, because the non-woven fabric is then stretched from a compressed initial state.

The multi-sensor head can be part of a measurement system using two exchangeable sensors of different types in the multi-sensor head. The multi-sensor head can be part of a workpiece.

Abstract: A sensor has a measuring element that measures forces. The measuring element measures direct forces or measurement variables which are converted into forces by means of a measurement variable converter in the sensor. The sensor includes a structure that converts test pressure guided into the sensor into a test force that stresses the measuring element in the same manner as the phenomenon that is to be measured by the sensor.

The pressure sensor comprises a cylindrical housing in which a measuring element is located, and a round or annular membrane having at least one outer support. The outer support is arranged on the housing, offset behind a housing extension. The measuring element is adapted to acquire measurement data as a result of an axial displacement of the membrane. The housing extension is provided with a heat shield which is arranged, except on its edges, interspaced behind a gap.

Abstract: A spark plug is intended for combustion engines and comprises a metal housing having a ground electrode disposed at the front and a thread having a rear sealing surface for installation in the combustion engine. The spark plug in particular includes a pressure sensor disposed laterally in the housing for determining a combustion chamber pressure and a ceramic body having a center electrode. The ceramic body is disposed in the housing next to the pressure sensor and acting as an electric insulator. As viewed from the combustion chamber, the ceramic body defines a front clamping shoulder and a rear stop for clamping the ceramic body into the housing. The outside diameter of the ceramic body gradually decreases in the region of the thread located between the rear sealing surface and the front clamping shoulder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure sensor comprising a housing, a membrane and at least one measuring element for measuring a pressure acting upon the membrane from outside the housing. The pressure sensor also comprises a channel system, inside the housing, which system can be filled with a test medium. The channel system comprises at least one pressure chamber. The pressure chamber is arranged in such a manner that a defined test pressure applied therein produces a known pressure change in the measuring element.
