Abstract: The present invention concerns a metallic flat gasket with at least one sealing layer with at least one port, with a sensor layer corresponding to the ports being deposited on at least one surface of the sealing layer. This sensor layer consists of a compression protection layer and at least one break, in which a sensor element is at least partially installed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cylinder head gasket for sealing the region between cylinder head and a cylinder block having a cylinder liner of an internal combustion engine, comprised of at least one sealing sheet that has at least one combustion chamber passage opening and a combustion chamber crimp running around the combustion chamber passage opening, where a stop serving as a path limiter for the combustion chamber crimp is provided on the side of the combustion chamber crimp facing away from the combustion.chamber passage opening and which stop encloses the combustion chamber crimp laterally, where at least one sealing sheet has at least two concentric combustion chamber crimps, which are enclosed laterally by the stop.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-layered steel gasket, for example, a cylinder head gasket, with at least one through opening (7,7′), for example, for the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, with at least three active metallic sealing layers (2, 2′, 2″) arranged one on the other. In at least two sealing layers (2, 2″) beads (3, 3″) are formed around the through openings and in a spacer sheet (6) arranged between the both sealing layers a bead-shaped plastically deformable deformation limiter (4) is arranged on the side adjacent to the beads.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a cylinder head gasket (1) for sealing a region between the cylinder head and the cylinder block of a combustion engine, comprising at least one sealing plate (2) that features several adjacent combustion chamber passages (3, 4) and a corresponding combustion chamber bead (5) running around the combustion chamber passage (3), wherein there is a stopper (6) that acts as a displacement limiter for the combustion chamber bead, wherein the stopper is interrupted in the region (10) between two combustion chamber passages (3, 4) and extends essentially over the entire area of the sealing plate (2) where there are no openings.

Abstract: A gasket is provided that is suitable for use in connection with a cylinder head. The gasket includes a first outer plate including a compensating portion, a second outer plate including a compensating portion, and a compensating plate positioned between said first and second outer plates. Preferably, at least one of said first and second outer plates includes a bead positioned outside of, and in close proximity to, said compensation portion of said plate. The compensating plate includes a compensating element and an edge portion. In a preferred embodiment, the area between the compensating portions of said first and second outer plates defines a compensating area and said compensating element is positioned within said compensating area. If desired, the gasket may also include a spacer plate.

Abstract: A method of producing products from polymer materials having a medicamentous depot effect, characterized by the steps of: mixing the starting materials; shaping the mixture into a desired mold; introducing the resultant mold into a protective packaging; and curing and sterilizing the mold in the protective packaging.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of operating an injection molding machine including a hydraulic device (1) which has an asynchronous main drive motor (10) driving a hydraulic pump (2). The injection molding machine is operated in an injection molding cycle with a cooling phase and a phase in which an injection molding tool is opened following the cooling phase. It is determined before commencement of the injection molding cycle if the duration of the cooling phase is above a minimum duration. If the duration of the cooling phase is above the minimum duration the asynchronous main drive motor (10) is switched off after or at commencement of the cooling phase and is switched on again before commencement of the phase in which the injection molding tool is opened. Electrical energy is saved by switching off the main drive motor in dependence on the cycle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a metal gasket, in particular a cylinder head gasket, having two beaded metallic cover sheets and having at least one sandwich sheet, which surrounds an opening. The sandwich sheet features a folded edge, that lies in the region of one of the beads of one of the cover sheets. Further, the folded edge is formed in the direction of one of the beads.

Abstract: A method for transmitting high-priority programs and data between a first function unit and a second function unit of a communication system, wherein computer programs and data having different priorities are transmitted from the first function unit to an address calculation process via a first message route and the second function unit accesses an output list administered by the address calculation process for address calculation and forwards the computer programs and data to peripheral equipment via message distributor units, including the steps of: writing into a buffer memory allocated to the first function high-priority programs and data of first control procedures sequencing in the first function unit via at least one additional message route; subsequently sending a first message from the first control procedures to second control procedures sequencing in the second function unit; initiating the second function unit to read-out the high-priority programs and data deposited in the buffer memory; and subs
