Abstract: The structured body intended for use for an anode (1) in fuel cells, includes a structure formed by macro-pores and an electrode material. The macro-pores form communicating spaces which are produced by using pore forming materials. The electrode material includes skeleton-like or net-like connected structures of particles which are connected by sintering and which form two reticular systems which interengage: a first reticular system made of ceramic material and a second reticular system which contains metals to effect an electrical conductivity. The electrode material has the properties so that, with a multiple change between oxidizing and reducing conditions, substantially no major property changes occur in the ceramic reticular system, and an oxidization or reduction of the metals occurs in the second reticular system.

Abstract: The porous, gas permeable layer substructure (5; 5a, 5b) for a thin, gas tight layer (89) can in particular be used as a functional component in high temperature fuel cells (8). This layer substructure has a smooth surface (50a) which is suitable for an application of the gas tight layer or a multi-layer system including the gas tight layer, with the application being carried out by means of a screen printing method or other coating methods. The smooth surface is formed by a compacted edge zone (50). The edge zone and a carrier structure (51) adjacent to this are made from sinterable particles of a uniform substance mixture. The porosity of the carrier structure is greater than 30 volume percent, preferably greater than 40 volume percent. The pore size of the edge zone is smaller than 10 ?m, preferably smaller than 3 ?m.

Abstract: The flow machine is furnished with an abradable (10) made of a particle composite material. This so-called composite (1) contains granular core particles (2) of a ceramic material. The surfaces (20) of the granular core particles carry functional layers (22) which form an intermediate phase of the composite which is stable at a high operating temperature. The intermediate phase in this process has been produced in situ at least in part by a chemical reaction of a precursor material (22?) and material (21) of the granular core particles on the particle surfaces (20). Bonds (23) are formed between the granular core particles arranged in a porous composite by the intermediate phase. These bonds have a breaking characteristic for abradables.

Abstract: The structured body intended for use for an anode (1) in fuel cells, comprises a structure formed by macro-pores (100) and an electrode material (5). The macro-pores form communicating spaces which are produced by means of pore forming materials. The electrode material includes skeleton-like or net-like connected structures of particles (60, 70) which are connected by sintering and which form two reticular systems (6, 7) which interengage: a first reticular system (6) made of ceramic material and a second reticular system (7) which contains metals to effect an electrical conductivity. The electrode material has the properties that, with a multiple change between oxidising and reducing conditions, substantially no major property changes occur in the ceramic reticular system, on the one hand, and an oxidisation or reduction of the metals results in the second reticular system, on the other hand.

Connecting elements are shaped on or in the inner and/or outer side of the profile sections. The assembly has three different profile sections which can be easily assembled in order to construct vertical cable conduits which can be connected to a column of the furniture frame, thus offering attachment possibilities for additional structures in or on the inner and outer sides of the cable conduit.

Abstract: A variable workstation furniture system having a furniture frame with vertical columns and foot extensions, whereby the lower ends of the columns can be connected to base elements to which the front and rear foot extensions can be connected. The design of the foot is simplified by the parts and assembly, while broadening variation possibilities, so that the foot extensions and the foot intermediate pieces form an assembly. The front foot extensions facing the columns include a column receptacle as a base unit which is open in an upward manner and in which a column can be inserted and connected to the foot extension.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system is disclosed wherein the processors communicate between each other asynchronously while carrying out synchronous processing. Each processor is associated with a cell connected to its neighbors by a ring network through which circulate messages for the processors. Each cell recognized the messages for its associated processor and communicates them to the associated processor. Particularly utility is found in the area of processing image-related data.

The apparatus includes a drum-like frame adapted for use in a centrifugal casting mold utilized for casting an endless, flat, flexible belt of pourable plastic material having a multiple strand core as a tension bearer at the generally center plane of the belt.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for making an endless, flat, flexible belt of pourable plastics include a core, especially a multiple core, as tension bearer, for example in a conveyor belt of polyurethane. Spaced apart support filaments extending transversely of the longitudinal direction of the belt are tightened in a mold approximately in the center plane of the belt to be cast so that the tension bearer will be placed as accurately as possible in the middle, based on the thickness of the belt to be produced. Subsequently the tension bearer is wound in longitudinal direction of the belt on the winding support formed by the support filaments. Thereupon liquid plastic material is poured into the mold and following that the support filaments protruding from the side surfaces of the belt are cut off upon termination of the curing.

Abstract: A hydraulic-damping two-chamber engine mount includes a working chamber and a compensating chamber. A conical jacket-like elastomeric wall has an end surface and a bearing plate is disposed on the end surface and borders the working chamber along with the elastomeric wall. The bearing plate has a cylindrical attachment with an end protruding into the working chamber. A rigid intermediate plate has an overflow conduit formed therein providing communication between the chambers. An integrated tension stop in the form of an annular stop plate has an inner edge suspended with play on the end of the cylindrical attachment for damping axial and radial mobility of the stop plate. A substantially conical jacket-like stop ring is provided for engaging the stop plate from above.

Abstract: A worktable, particularly an office desk, having a top adapted to be adjustable as to height and inclination. The top is supported on four vertically adjustable columns, each of the two columns of the pair of columns in front and the two columns of the pair of columns in the rear are jointly adjustable in guides provided in the trestle. To selectively adjust the height and inclination of the table top, latch receptacles are provided on all columns spaced along their length to receive compression spring urged locking pins installed in the trestle. Each of the pair of support columns is associated with a lever mechanism by means of which each pair of support columns can be rotated, the latch connection unlatched and, upon adjustment of the pair of columns, the latched position re-established.
