Abstract: A combustion chamber assembly group, and a mounting method therefor, includes a combustion chamber for an engine that includes a curved combustion chamber wall extending along two spatial directions, and a combustion chamber shingle affixed at an inner side of the combustion chamber wall and having a shingle edge defining the outer contour of the shingle. For an at least sectional abutment of the shingle edge at the combustion chamber wall with a minimum clamping force in an operational state of the engine, the shingle is mounted to the combustion chamber wall in a mounting state in which the shingle at least at one section of the shingle edge has a curvature with respect to at least one of the spatial directions that differs from the curvature of the combustion chamber wall with respect to this spatial direction.

Abstract: Use of a range extender vehicle includes a range extender energy store and means for transmitting energy to a main vehicle for supplying a main vehicle, including a main vehicle electric motor for driving the main vehicle, a main vehicle energy store for supplying the main vehicle electric motor with power and means for obtaining energy from the range extender vehicle, with energy from the range extender energy store via the coupled-together energy transmission means and means for obtaining energy. The range extender vehicle also includes: a range extender electric motor for driving the range extender vehicle; means for autonomously driving the range extender vehicle on a road network; and receiving means for receiving information for detecting the main vehicle. By means of the invention, the mobility, in particular the range, of electric vehicles can be improved in a simple and comfortable manner.

Abstract: A mobile energy system (MES) can absorb, temporarily store and restore electric energy through connection to the house network. The energy can furthermore be released at the location of charging, at other locations or while driving. This offers the possibility of operating stationary or mobile quick charging stations also at locations which permit only small power output. By coupling the systems via a cloud, functions of a virtual power station can be performed.

Abstract: A ski binding having two ski-binding parts is positioned on a ski, which bears guide devices for arranging the two ski-binding parts for sliding action, it being possible for each ski-binding part to be connected to an, in particular strip-like connecting element, which connecting elements can be secured in relation to the ski, between the two ski-binding parts, by means of a locking device which is fixed relative to the ski and has at least one blocking lever which can be engaged with, and disengaged from, toothing formations provided laterally on the connecting elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, in particular a ski, which is provided in its central portion with at least one receiving part which is arranged in a recessed fashion in relation to its upper side and is intended for slidably movable arrangement of a binding part, a binding or a supporting part of the binding part or binding which can be fixed in defined positions in the longitudinal direction of the sliding board. The receiving part (3, 3?, 3?, 3??) is incorporated in the ski in such a way that it functionally replaces the core of the ski, and if appropriate reinforcing plies, at least partially.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding board, especially a ski, comprising a treadsole, an upper surface, a lower rib and a core, and at least one element which comprises especially at least one rail-type guiding element, is connected to the body of the sliding board by means of at least one anchoring element, and is used to arrange and guide at least one binding element on the upper side of the sliding board. In order to avoid subsequently fixing guiding elements to the finished ski, the at least one anchoring element (9, 9?, 9?, 19) is integrated into the core (5, 5?) during the expansion thereof and is held by the hardened foam material.

Abstract: A sliding board, particularly a ski, comprising a sliding surface, an upper shell, optionally, a core, steel edges, an upper belt and a lower belt, and comprising at least one interface element, which is joined to the sliding board body and which is provided for mounting at least one binding element on the top surface of the sliding board. The interface element(s) is/are shaped onto lateral flanks that extend along the longitudinal sides of the ski. These lateral flanks are bound in the sliding board construction during the production of the sliding board.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for a ski binding which can be positioned on a ski, the binding including two parts: a front jaw and a heel holder which can be moved in a sliding manner in the longitudinal direction of the ski in guiding mechanisms which are fixed to the ski, and are connected by a connecting element extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski. The position of one of the parts of the ski binding can be adjusted in relation to the connecting element, and the connecting element can be fixed in relation to the ski. The mutual position of the front jaw and the heel holder can be self-adjusted and fixed on the connecting element in such a way that the front jaw and the heel holder form, together with the connecting element, a pre-assembled unit which is separate from the ski, and which can be slid along the guiding mechanisms which are fixed to the ski.

Abstract: A new type of folding box is disclosed, which is designed for redispatching to a second location, after it has been received at a first location. This box, which can be made from a single flat pre-cut blank, of cardboard or other suitable material, has two lids: an inner lid, and an outer lid. The outer lid is printed, stamped, or affixed with advertising information, a first mailing address, or other useful lettering, to facilitate a first delivery or sale. The inner lid, which is initially covered and preferably hidden by the outer lid, is printed or stamped with a second lettering, such as a second mailing or delivery address. The user purchases or otherwise receives the complete box, including the outer lid, and carries out any desired function with the contents of that box. For example, if the box contains collection jars, for holding blood, hair, water, or soil samples, the user would fill the jars with such samples or specimens.

Abstract: To determine the exact instant (T.sub.s) between the instant of transmission (T.sub.0) of the leading-edge of a square-wave pulse (S.sub.1) transmitted by a transmitter (4) and the instant (T.sub.1) of the first appearance of the received signal (S.sub.2), the latter is scanned with a threshold voltage (V) specifiable in steps, so that with n-time pulse transmission for repetition of the transmitting and receiving operation the threshold voltage is decreased by a value of .DELTA.V in each transmitting and receiving operation. The instantaneous value of the threshold voltage (V) is compared with the peak values (V.sub.A, V.sub.B, V.sub.C, V.sub.D) of the amplitudes of the positive half-waves of the received signal (S.sub.2). The instant at which the value of the threshold voltage (V) falls below the peak value (V.sub.A, V.sub.B, V.sub.C, V.sub.D) of the positive half-wave of the received signal (S.sub.
