Abstract: A yarn processing method is proposed for manufacturing a fancy yarn from at least one filament yarn comprising the process steps of supplying the filament yarn into a false twist texturing unit and producing twists of the filament yarn with a twist density by transferring an axial torque to the filament yarn by means of a false twist spindle of the false twist texturing unit as well as a false twist spindle and a yarn processing machine for implementing the method. According to the invention, the process fluctuations influencing the twist density are compensated by keeping the transferred torque constant.

Abstract: A machine for the production and/or converting of a material web, especially a paper or carton web, such as a coating machine for single sided or two-sided application of liquid or viscid coating medium onto a moving web by way of at least one application device. At least one carrier surface, or partial surface, and/or at least one area or partial area, of the machine that is exposed, or could be exposed, during the operation and/or during start-up of the machine and/or during slow-down of the machine and/or during at least an exceptional operational condition of the machine to the medium is a focus of the present invention. Application medium, that is used in the production or converting process, and/or is subjected to another contamination hazard, is formed by or furnished with a permanent or temporary, protective layer, also referred to as barrier layer, that is applied to the carrier surface.

Abstract: A system for measuring the temperature in a large number of galettes of a spinning or winding machine for synthetic filaments to limit the spread in measurements of the actual temperature of the galettes in control of galette temperature in which the temperature sensor at the end of a holding and/or protecting element extending into an annular groove in the respective galette and supported by a mounting on the machine frame. A thermal barrier of plastic, glass or ceramic is provided between the sensor and the machine frame to reduce or eliminate conduction of heat from the sensing element to the machine frame.

Abstract: A hybrid drive, in particular for vehicles has a variable-ratio gear unit with a branch which can be driven by a primary motor. The gear unit is also connected in a rotationally rigid manner to a rotatable part of a first electric machine. A branch of the gear unit is connected in a rotationally rigid manner to a rotatable rotor of a second electric machine. Another branch connected in a rotationally rigid manner to an output shaft and to which the likewise rotatably arranged other machine component of the first electric machine is connected in a rotationally rigid manner. The rotor of the second machine can be fixed or released for rotation by a brake.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection having a piston disposed in a cylinder and a cylinder head which together define a combustion chamber, wherein a fuel injector is mounted in the cylinder head so as to inject fuel into the combustion chamber in a conical pattern whereby the fuel is mixed with combustion air to form a combustible mixture, the cylinder head has a shape around the conical fuel pattern which aids in providing combustible fuel/air mixture at least in an area adjacent the conical fuel pattern where a spark plug with electrodes is mounted such that its electrodes are disposed outside the conical fuel pattern.

Abstract: In a port-controlled two-stroke internal combustion engine with an engine block comprising a crankcase and a cylinder block including pistons connected to a crankshaft by crosshead rods with crossheads guided for linear movement with the pistons, and connecting rods extending between the crossheads and the crankshaft a partition structure is arranged between the crankcase and the cylinder block and includes hollow cylindrical sleeves which project axially into the cylinders to a point closely adjacent the undersides of the piston tops when the pistons are in their bottom dead center positions and the sleeves are spaced from the cylinder walls to form between the sleeves and the cylinder walls annular spaces for receiving the depending skirts of the pistons.

Abstract: A motor vehicle pneumatic tire is made of polyurethane or another similar moldable material which hardens into an elastic plastic material and which has a substantially cylindrical or cylindrical belt insert mounted beneath the tread substantially composed of threads, wires or similar stability support elements which are mounted in the circumferential direction of the tire in a spaced-apart manner at a distance of 0.5-3.0 mm and which elements have a cross section of 0.5-2.5 mm. The stability support and the plastic mass of the belt insert encompassing the same having a tensile strength in the circumferential direction of at least 3 Mill.N and the elements of the stability support have a breaking strength of at least 1,500 N.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire made of polyurethane elastomers or other moldable material which can be made into an elastic, plastic material by means of a chemical reaction is provided. The tire includes a belt which is mounted beneath the tread surface which essentially consists of threads of a stress carrier, which threads run in the circumferential direction of the stress carrier. Alternatively, the belt is made of a moldable material which can be hardened into an elastic, plastic material having an E-modulus larger than 20,000 N/cm.sup.2. The tire is characterized by the provision of an increasing bending radius of the neutral axis of the tire sidewall from the tire bead to the edge of the belt.
