Abstract: Granular food composition comprising: Fat, Starch; wherein the food composition comprises gas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a rotational-speed-variable refrigerant compressor (2) for cooling a cooling volume (4) of a refrigeration system (1), which refrigeration system does not have its own control unit, wherein the refrigeration system (1) comprises at least one thermostat (3) for directly or indirectly monitoring a temperature state of the cooling volume (4) and wherein the rotational-speed behavior of the refrigerant compressor (2) during a cooling cycle is controlled by means of a specification rotational-speed control stored in an electronic control device (6) of the refrigerant compressor (2).

Abstract: Granular food composition comprising: Fat, Starch; wherein the food composition comprises gas.

Abstract: A food product comprising: starch, from 15 to 50 wt % of fat, wherein the total amount of salt, monosodium glutamate and sugar taken together is less than 5 wt %, wherein the product is in the form of a paste and wherein the product has a density of between 0.6 and 1.0 kg/1 at 20° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mounting a fastener screw (2, 3) on the base (5) of a brake cylinder (1). The method comprises the following steps: first, producing bores (8) in the base (5) of the brake cylinder (1) that have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the fastener screw (2, 3). Subsequently, the bore (8) is widened using a stamping tool (9) far enough that the fastener screw (2, 3) will fit through said bore, forming a collar (11). Finally, the collar (11) is reformed onto the fastener screw (2, 3) by a pressing process, whereby said collar engages in a groove (12) or a ribbing (15) of the fastener screw (2, 3), thus securing said screw.

Abstract: A spring-actuated air-brake cylinder as the diaphragm cylinder for vehicle brake systems includes a diaphragm, an actuator-spring chamber in which there is received a spring-actuated piston, which is acted on by a compression spring as the actuator spring and is actively connected to the diaphragm, which is disposed between the actuator-spring chamber and a pressure chamber, in which there is guided moveably a sealed push rod, which can include a pressure member on its diaphragm side. The spring-actuated diaphragm is connected to the push rod or to the pressure member or to the spring-actuated piston by means of vulcanization.

Abstract: A spring-actuated brake cylinder having a housing with a first housing part in which there is formed a spring chamber containing an actuator spring that acts on a spring-actuated piston, and with a second housing part in which there is formed a pressure chamber, the housing parts being provided with outwardly extending rim flanges that can be connected to one another. The second housing part is made from deformable plate material and has an adequately dimensioned rim flange which is crimped onto and circumferentially around the rim flange of the first housing part by exceeding its elastic limit.

Abstract: A turbine shaft, in particular for a steam turbine, is oriented along an axis of rotation. The turbine shaft has a first region with a maximum radius R1 and a second region adjoining the first region and having a maximum radius R2>R1. The first region includes a first base material for use at a temperature of over 550° C. and the second region includes a second base material for use at a temperature below 550° C. An alloy steel used for the first and the second base materials in each case has a chromium content of between 8.0% by weight and 12.5% by weight at a substantially identical austenitizing temperature. A method is provided for producing the turbine shaft.

Abstract: In a method for removing tin from a surface and/or from a region close to the surface of a component part, the component part has a concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide or concentrated hydrochloric acid flowing in contact with it at a temperature which is distinctly higher than room temperature. Preferably, the temperature is approximately 220.degree. C., and the component part is moreover subjected to a positive pressure of 5.5 bar. The method is suitable for a component part fabricated through the use of unidirectional solidification and liquid-metal cooling, in particular a turbine blade.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a brake cylinder which is formed by a cylindrical housing and a cylinder base. The cylindrical housing and cylinder base are joined together by a bayonet connection and form a pressure chamber. The bayonet connection is designed pressure-tight, and it is located on the pressurized-side of a circular sealing element which seals off the cylinder base from the cylinder housing. The bayonet connection is thereby protected from the entry of detrimental environmental influences, especially dirt and moisture, and it can still be easily disassembled at all times.

Abstract: Disclosed is a spring brake cylinder for use on motor vehicles. The cylinder is actuated to a release position in response to fluid pressure. The cylinder includes a spring actuator inserted between the brake cylinder base and a spring brake piston. A tensioning device is provided which mechanically acts upon the spring brake piston and facilitates adjustment of the distance between the spring brake piston and the cylinder base. The spring brake piston and the spring actuator can be assembled into a pretensioned unit outside the spring brake cylinder.
