Abstract: A paint system contains an anti-fouling metal oxide and a fumed silica, wherein the fumed silica has a BET surface area of 150 to 400 m2/g, a tamped density of 100 to 300 g/l and a thickening of less than 500 mPas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a PEG free, stable, low viscosity classic oil-in-water emulsion and the use and preparation thereof. The oil-in-water emulsion comprises, A) a primary emulsifier selected from alkyl polyglucosides and long chained polyglycerol esters, B) a secondary emulsifier selected from short chained polyglycerol esters and short chained sorbitan esters, and optionally a thickener if the amount of secondary emulsifier is below 2.5 wt. %. The emulsion is a classic emulsion and can be sprayable. The emulsion is suitable to prepare spray or foam emulsion products with good application effect.

Abstract: A mullion-transom structure has a supporting profiled element on which at least one filling element is retained at an edge, and a pressing strip by which at least one filling element is pressed toward the supporting profiled element. The pressing strip is retained on the supporting profiled element by at least one fastener, which fastener engages in a groove on the supporting profiled element. The groove is formed with an undercut and the at least one fastener is displaceably retained with a head segment in the groove. Preferably, the fastener embodies a bolt connected to a head segment, which head segment is pivotably held in a pre-mounted position on the groove of the supporting profiled element.

Abstract: A sliding element which has a main body and a layer system which is applied thereto. The layer system has at least a first layer of the thickness s1, which is applied to the main body, and hard material particles having a mean extent d, which are introduced into the first layer and are therefore at least fixed on the main body. The thickness s1 of the first layer is such that it amounts to at least 60% and at most 90% of the mean extent d of the hard material particles, and the hard material particles form a surface structuring of the sliding element.

Abstract: In order to configure a control unit for a vehicle, a method is provided which involves: transmission of a functional cluster assignment by a data source to the control unit, the functional cluster assignment assigning the control unit to a selection of functional clusters; reception of the functional cluster assignment by the control unit; preparation of the control unit for the use of the functional cluster assignment; activating the validity of the functional cluster assignment in the control unit, and use of the functional cluster assignment in the control unit. The functional cluster assignment is transmitted via a data network, preferably formed using a CAN bus, LIN bus, MOST bus or FlexRay bus system. The downloading of the functional cluster assignment to the control unit makes software releases that are specific to vehicle type and the time spent on their associated program maintenance superfluous.
