Abstract: An arrangement in a motor vehicle includes a housing configured to accommodate a technical component, at least one pressure equalization element integrated into the housing, a cooling device configured to cool the technical component in the housing, and a control device configured to control the cooling device. The control device is configured such that, in the event of an exceedance of a temperature threshold value in the housing, the control device increases the cooling power of the cooling device in order to attain a first temperature value in the housing. After such an increase, proceeding from a second temperature value in the housing, the control device decreases the cooling power such that thermal residual energy of the technical component is sufficient to evaporate the condensation water generated in the housing as a result of the cooling, wherein the second temperature value is higher than the first temperature value.

Abstract: A condensate trap is provided for a housing of a motor vehicle that is sealed off from the environment, wherein the housing is provided for accommodating a technical component, in particular a power storage module. A reservoir for accommodating the condensate is formed in or on the floor of the housing. The reservoir forms the lowest point of the floor in a predefined installation situation of the housing. The reservoir is separated from the interior of the housing by a cover, which is provided with at least one breakthrough as an inlet for the condensate, accumulating in the interior. An outlet opening of the reservoir is coupled to an actively actuable element for discharging the condensate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing or preventing damage caused by pesticides to plants treated therewith and/or to plant propagation material treated therewith and/or to plants growing from this plant propagation material and/or to plants which grow in a growth medium which has been or is treated therewith, which method comprises treating the plant propagation material and/or the plants and/or the growth medium with at least one of these pesticides in combination with dimethomorph. Moreover, the invention relates to the use of dimethomorph as safener for pesticides which have a phytotoxic effect on plants treated therewith, on plant propagation material treated therewith, on plants growing from plant propagation material which has been treated therewith and/or on plants which grow in a growth medium which has been or is treated therewith.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preventing or reducing insecticidal resistance of adult insect pests of the family Nitidulidae, the family Curculionidae and Psylliodes spp. which method comprises contacting the plant or the soil or water in which the plant is growing, or the pest or its food supply, habitat, breeding grounds or locus, with pesticidally effective amounts of piperonyl butoxide and at least one pyrethroid, wherein piperonyl butoxide and the pyrethroid are applied in a weight ratio of from 0.0001 to 10000.
