  • Patent number: 11774386
    Abstract: A method for determining an aggregate state of an operating liquid in an operating liquid container for a motor vehicle, which operating liquid container has at least one capacitor fastened to a container wall of the operating liquid container and has a first electrode and a second electrode opposite said first electrode. A first method determines the aggregate state of the operating liquid by means of a frequency-dependent phase profile of the impedance of the at least one capacitor. Another method determines the aggregate state of the operating liquid by means of a frequency-dependent capacitance profile of the at least one capacitor. Further, an operating liquid container is designed for carrying out the methods.

  • Publication number: 20230165286
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pea isolate comprising, calculated by weight of dry matter: a. 0-10 wt.% of pea components having a molecular weight of at least 30 kDa; b. 0-70 wt.% galacto-oligosaccharides selected from raffinose, stachyose, verbascose and combinations thereof; c. 0.05-5 wt.% of 5?-inosine monophosphate (IMP); d. 0-1 wt.% of 5?-adenosine monophosphate (AMP); wherein the weight ratio IMP : AMP exceeds 1:1. This pea isolate is a valuable flavouring material that can be isolated from pea whey - an effluent stream that is produced in the manufacture of pea protein isolates - by subjecting the pea whey to ultrafiltration and/or nanofiltration, and by subjecting the pea whey or the filtration permeate to enzymatic treatment with AMP deaminase.

  • Patent number: 11046166
    Abstract: A hybrid module has an intermediate element via which a counter plate, or at least one of the counter plates, of a coupling device is fixedly connected to a rotor element. At least one pressure plate and/or intermediate plate of the coupling device is here connected rotationally fixedly but axially displaceably to the rotor element via the at least one intermediate element. The result is a compact plate connection which is advantageous in particular for multiplate clutches. The intermediate element may be arranged radially outside the plates (pressure plate(s), counter plate(s) and any intermediate plates) of the coupling device.
