Abstract: A method for producing a coil includes winding a wire in order to produce a wound coil, and stretching the wound coil from an initial state into a stretched state with an increased spread. The method includes providing the wound coil, in the stretched state, with a coating, and transferring the wound coil from the stretched state back into a state of smaller spread.

Abstract: The invention relates to a segmented coil carrier (20; 20?) for an electric machine (2), comprising a plurality of separately formed, interconnected segments (1) with in each case one carrier (10) with a shaft (100) and a coil (11) surrounding the shaft (100), a groove (N) being formed between two adjacent carriers (10); and a groove wedge arranged in the groove (N).

Abstract: A coupling element for a multi-joint crank drive of an internal combustion engine includes a coupling lever having a first eye for a piston connecting rod, and a second eye for an articulation connecting rod. A bearing cover forms with the coupling lever a third eye for a crank pin. The coupling lever and the bearing cover are connected to each other by bolts which defined parallel longitudinal central axes. The coupling lever and the bearing cover abut each other at an outer periphery of the third eye at adjacent contact surfaces on both sides of the third eye to define a separating plane which extends through a center of the third eye at an acute angle with respect to a further plane which passes through the center of the third eye and extends perpendicular to the longitudinal central axes of the bolts.

Abstract: A multi-joint crank drive of an internal combustion engine includes at least one coupling member supported on a crankpin of a crankshaft for rotation about a coupling member rotation axis; and at least one articulated connecting rod supported on a crankpin of an eccentric shaft for rotation about an eccentric rotation axis, wherein the at least one coupling member is connected with a piston connecting rod of a piston of the internal combustion engine for pivoting about a piston connecting rod rotation axis, and with the at least one articulated connecting rod for pivoting about an articulated connecting rod rotation axis, and wherein a rotation axis of the eccentric shaft is situated above a plane which receives a rotation axis of the crankshaft and is perpendicular to at least one cylinder longitudinal center axis, and wherein, respectively in relation to a total travel of the piston.

Abstract: The equipment size of a hearing device is intended to be reduced. Therefore, a hearing device, in particular an ITE hearing aid, is proposed with a shell having a user-specific shape, a faceplate for closing-off the shell and an electronic component which is attached to the faceplate using a support. The support is individually formed taking into account the shape of the shell, and/or a position of the support on the faceplate is individually determined taking into account the shape of the shell. As a result of the individual support, it is possible to cut down on installation space and therefore the shell can be shortened. In particular, the support can be formed integrally with the faceplate in order to simplify the production method.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for customizing a hearing aid casing. A user accesses a software program that allows him or her to select a type of a hearing aid. The software program further allows the user to select a motif to be displayed on at least a portion of the hearing aid casing. The software program may automatically size the selected motif based on the type of the hearing aid selected, and the selected motif may be printed on a film. The film then is coupled to the hearing aid casing to display the motif on one or more surfaces of the hearing aid casing.

Abstract: A method produces a bipolar ionic atmosphere using a dielectric barrier discharge, and to a device suitable for carrying out the method. The solution for achieving this aim is to trigger an electrical surface discharge at more or less regular intervals on the wall of a channel through which a gaseous medium flows. The flow channel is formed by a dielectric and a wall electrode such that the channel wall consists in the direction of flow alternately of a conductive electrode material and a dielectric. In principle it will suffice if the channel is formed of only one dielectric and one conductive section which adjoin each other. The electrical surface discharge is triggered by a second electrode which is separated by the dielectric from the wall electrode and the flow channel, and to which a temporally varying high voltage is applied by an impulse generator.
