Abstract: In a diagnosis module for leak testing a container of a tank ventilation system of a motor vehicle, which has a reference leak through which a volume flows and is matched to a permissible leakage of the container. The reference leak is constituted by a number of diaphragms disposed in series in the flow direction, in which each of the diaphragms have a throttle opening (25 27). The advantage of this diagnosis module lies in the large diameter throttle openings, which are less susceptible to malfunction when there is a permitted leakage hole that has a significantly smaller diameter.

Abstract: A fuel tank ventilation valve for a Laval nozzle, which has a sensitive regulation of the through flow quantity. The valve has a valve seat which is embodied on a valve seat body which has at least one opening that can be closed by the valve member. A cross section of the at least one opening is embodied as essentially smaller than an entry cross section of the Laval nozzle that is disposed spaced apart from the valve seat. The valve is suited for a metered introduction of fuel that has evaporated from a fuel tank of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition into an intake tube of the engine.

Abstract: A tank venting system for motor vehicles, having an internal combustion engine supplied from a fuel tank. A filter housing with an adsorption filter, and an air inlet and an air outlet that can be connected to a venting neck of the fuel tank. An air pump device for error diagnosis, which is integrated with a pump housing that has a pump inlet and a pump outlet. To attain a compact design of the tank venting system that is economical in terms of installation space, the pump housing is mounted with the pump outlet oriented coaxially to the air inlet on the filter housing and secured on the filter housing by means of spring-elastic fastening elements. The transition between the pump outlet and the air inlet is sealed off in airtight fashion.

Abstract: A simplified, economical, noise-abating mode of securing a unit embodied for instance as a valve. For securing the unit, the unit has a housing with a first portion having a first encompassing outer face and at least one second portion having at least one second encompassing outer face, wherein a first sealing ring can be mounted on the first outer face, and the first portion and first sealing ring can be introduced into a recess of an installation wall. A second sealing ring can be mounted on the second outer face of the second portion, and the second portion and second sealing ring can likewise be introduced into the recess, so that the support of the unit in the recess is effected by means of the first and second sealing rings without the first and second outer faces of the unit resting on inner faces of the recess.

Abstract: Disclosed are gel formulations, which are useful for dressing plant seed. The gel formulations comprise at least one active compound, at least one gel-forming agent, water, and an additive.

Abstract: A valve which has a dirt filter that is accommodated in a chamber between an electromagnet valve and an inflow adapter in a valve housing. The valve is suitable for metered introduction of volatilized fuel from a fuel tank into an intake tube of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A pump device for performing a leak diagnosis of a fuel vapor retention system. The pump device is provided for a fuel vapor retention system of an internal combustion engine, having a pump membrane driven by an electromagnet and a magnetic armature, which membrane defines a supply chamber that has valve devices, wherein a first valve can be connected to ambient air via a delivery line and can be connected via a second valve to a feed pipe that has an adsorption filter, and having a stop valve between the delivery line and the feed pipe, which valve is embodied so that it can be electromagnetically actuated. The pump device according to the invention is provided for a fuel vapor retention system of an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process in which a melt is mixed with, and emulsified in a colder aqueous phase at a temperature below the crystallization point of the molten compound, the melt only solidifying in the form of the dispersed particles after the emulsification step. To this end, the melt is sprayed into the aqueous phase to form a preliminary emulsion (12) and the preliminary emulsion is finely dispersed for 0.005 s to 0.15 s in a following homogenization nozzle (8) to form an emulsion (15) which then solidifies to form the final crystal suspension. The particle size can be clearly and reproducibly adjusted through the nozzle pressure during the emulsification step. The process may be used in particular for the production of highly concentrated dispersions of high-melting organic materials.

Abstract: There is a demand for arylpararosanililinesulfonic acid pigments which, even when the pigment content is relatively low, produce on dilution with customary printing varnishes a printing ink having satisfactory rheological properties. The invention relates to such pasty pigment formulations containing(a) 5 to 50% by weight of an arylpararosanilinesulfonic acid pigment,(b) a long-oil alkyd resin having an oil content of 70-80% by weight whose oil content is based on the reaction with a drying, semidrying or nondrying oil or with a mixture of a plurality of these oils or with corresponding fatty acids whose dicarboxylic acid compontent is a mixture of isophthalic and orthophthalic acid, a small proportion of one or more .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated dicarboxylic acids and, possibly, anhydrides thereof and whose polyalcohol component contains a mixture of glycerol and pentaerythritol,(c) a hydrocarbon resin having an average molecular weight within the range from 600 to 1700, the amount of which is 1-1.

Abstract: The invention relates to pasty pigment formulations of pigments of the arylpararosanilinesulfonic acid series, which are free of aromatics-containing mineral oils and are suitable for preparing printing inks, in particular letterpress and offset printing inks. The pigment formulations are obtainable by flushing aqueous presscakes of the pigments by means of the solution of a flushing resin in aromatics-free mineral oil and preparing the flushed paste obtained with an oil- or fatty-acid modified alkyd resin.

Abstract: The invention relates to readily dispersible strong pigment formulations containing arylpararosanilinesulfonic acid pigments of the formula ##STR1## and a polyester resin which has been water-solubilized by neutralizing the carboxyl groups with nitrogen bases.The pigment formulations are distinguished by being very readily dispersible in the various printing ink binders and by having a high tinctorial strength.

Abstract: 2,2-Bis[4-(2,3-dibromopropoxy)-3,5-dibromophenyl]-propane (BDDP) has the structural formula ##STR1## This bisphenol-A derivative is prepared by reaction of 2,2-bis[4-hydroxy-3,5-dibromophenyl]-propane with an allyl halide and subsequent bromination of the diallyl ether obtained. In the first reaction step, a lower aliphatic alcohol is used as solvent, and in the second reaction step an aromatic halogenated hydrocarbon. The reaction product is then precipitated by excess alcohol, and separated. The BDDP is obtained in the form of granules and is suitable for application as flameproofing agent.

Abstract: An improved process for the manufacture of aromatic sulfonic acid halides from aromatic diazonium compounds, wherein aromatic diazonium compounds are reacted in a strongly hydrochloric or hydrobromic solution in the presence of copper or copper compounds with an alkali metal hydrogeno-sulfite, which avoids the use of liquid or gaseous sulfur dioxide and of organic solvents according to known processes which makes the process, if carried out on a technical scale, expensive and strongly contaminates the waste water.
