Abstract: A connection arrangement for producing a rotational connection of a hydrodynamic torque converter with a rotating shaft includes at least one connection element arrangable at a housing of the torque converter and having a first connection area connectable to the housing and a second connection area connectable to the rotating shaft, wherein the first connection area has a limited circumferential extension with respect to the rotational axis (A) of the converter. The first connection area may be arranged at the housing via a riveting.

Abstract: A hydrodynamic torque converter includes a converter casing with a support connected on the drive side of the casing. The support includes a receptacle for receiving a connecting element for fastening the converter casing to a component of a drive. The receptacle is formed via an extrusion extending essentially at a right angle to the extension direction of the support and includes an annular collar surrounding a recess.

Abstract: Process for the filling of a piston-cylinder unit, for example a shock absorber, with compressed gas and for closing the gas chamber of the piston-cylinder unit with a sealing element in the form of a base. The piston-cylinder unit is placed in an apparatus which apparatus can be connected to a compressed gas source from which the gas chamber is filled. The base is inserted by the apparatus into the open end of the piston-cylinder unit, after which the piston-cylinder unit, now under pressure and closed off by the base, is closed by, the process of welding.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to aqueous dielectric coatings exhibiting reduced migration of the electrical ions of the conductive substrate. The coating composition comprises: (1) a binder comprising: (a) an aqueous polymerizable emulsion comprising: at least one monoethylenically unsaturated monomer; a monoethylenically unsaturated acid; and a copolymerizable surfactant; and (b) a volatile base and (2) a pigment.

Abstract: A heat curable coating composition which deposits a release coating containing a smaller proportion of silicone release material is disclosed. This composition comprises (1) an hydroxy-functional resin which is preferably a polyester resin; (2) a cross-linking agent for the polyester, such as an aminoplast resin; and (3) at least one and preferably a mixture of at least two reactive silicones which are preferably polysiloxanes. These two polysiloxanes comprise: (A) a hydrogen- or alkoxy-functional polysiloxane; and (B) an elastomeric polysiloxane reactive with the hydrogen- or alkoxy-functional polysiloxane to provide release properties. Either or both of the polysiloxanes are reactive with the hydroxy-functional resin or the cross-linking agent. Components (1), (2) and (3) are compatible in a liquid admixture which may contain a volatile inert organic solvent or which may be solvent-free.

Abstract: Dielectric coating compositions intended for application to conductive papers are disclosed. These coating compositions comprise a pigmented aqueous dispersion of a carboxyl-functional copolymer of copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers including form 8% to 18% by weight of monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, such as acrylic acid. The carboxyl-functional copolymer is dispersed in water with the aid of a volatile amine, such as ammonia, and the water dispersion is pigmented to contain calcium carbonate and/or clay in a pigment to binder weight ratio of from 0.5:1 to 6:1.
