The enveloping wall has an inner contour adapted to the outer diameters of the spur gears such that, between the enveloping wall and the spur gears, there are formed two ring-shaped gaps which transition into one another, wherein in each case one ring-shaped gap is arranged concentrically with in each case one axis of rotation. A lubricating device conducts a lubricant flow into the toothings of the spur gears. A cooling device is additionally provided, which conducts a coolant flow through one or more cooling ducts within and/or along the outside of the enveloping wall.

Abstract: A spur gear transmission with at least two intermeshing spur gears the teeth of which are in meshing engagement with one another, and each of which are rotatable via an axis of rotation. The spur gear transmission has an enveloping wall which surrounds the two spur gears in circumferential direction and in the direction of the axes of rotation. The enveloping wall has an inner contour which is adapted to the outer diameter of the spur gears in such a manner that two annular gaps which merge into each other are formed between the enveloping wall and the spur gears. One annular gap respectively is arranged at least substantially concentrically with respect to a respective axis of rotation. The enveloping wall is formed by a two-part housing which is closed along a parting line and which has an upper part and a lower part.

Abstract: The invention relates to an acoustic component contoured in a planar manner or three-dimensionally shaped, namely a firewall of a motor vehicle, and use of said component, said component comprising at least one sound-absorbing material and possibly at least one carrier material, wherein the sound-absorbing material is completely or partially covered by a flow layer at least on a planar side or in a composite of layers, wherein the flow layer has nanofibers.

The enveloping wall is formed by a multi-part housing which is closed along a parting joint. The parting joint extends partially or entirely substantially within a plane in which one of the two axes of rotation or both axes of rotation run.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for migrating between terminals. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network proxy having a controller that manages a communications interface in a communication system. The controller can be programmed to receive a request to migrate a first terminal to a third terminal while active communications are taking place on a first voice channel connecting the first terminal to a second terminal, establish a second voice channel with the third terminal, connect the first and second voice channels, and terminate without action of an end user of the first terminal a connection between the first terminal and the first voice channel. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
