  • Patent number: 8764112
    Abstract: Seating furniture including a base fixed in position during use, a seat unit with a seat surface, and a leg unit moveable in relation to the seat unit and having a leg support surface. The leg unit is displaceable by a movement mechanism between a storage position and a use position. The movement mechanism transfers the leg unit from the storage position into the use position, and has an intermediate support displaceable in relation to the seat unit or the base by a pivoting guide. The pivoting guide has a first pivot lever between the intermediate support and the seat unit or the base, and the movement mechanism has a sliding guide with a sliding member guided in a translatory manner on the intermediate support, and the leg unit is attached to the sliding member.

  • Patent number: 8509413
    Abstract: Device and method for recognizing wanted and/or unwanted telephone calls of a telephone user as a function of the user's behavior. The device has an interface to at least one telephone of the user and an interface to at least one media terminal. A mechanism determines the input of a telephone call on the user's telephone. An examining mechanism establishes a spatial relationship between the user's telephone and the media terminal. A detection mechanism detects the activation state of the media terminal. A tapping mechanism taps the media content playing on the media terminal at the time point of the input of a telephone call on the user's telephone. A comparison mechanism compares the media content during an incoming call on the user's telephone with the media content of Event Files of a User Profile stored in a storage mechanism. A determining mechanism determines whether a call is wanted.

  • Publication number: 20120301289
    Abstract: A fuel pump, including a driven impeller, which rotates in a pump housing and on the two sides comprises guide blades that each delimit a ring of blade chambers, and further including partial ring-shaped channels, which are arranged on both sides in the region of the guide blades in the pump housing and which form delivery chambers with the blade chambers for delivering fuel, wherein an inlet channel leads into the one delivery chamber and the other delivery chamber leads into an outlet channel, and mutually opposing blade chambers are connected to each other. The cross-sectional surface of the partial ring-shaped channel arranged on the inlet side decreases toward the end of the partial ring-shaped channel to zero. The region in which the cross-sectional surface decreases extends over an angular region of more than 45°.

  • Patent number: 8288583
    Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for preparing carboxylic acid derivatives, comprising the reaction of at least one carboxylic acid and/or of a carboxylic acid derivative with at least one alcohol and/or an amine in the presence of a metal-containing catalyst, wherein, after the reaction has ended, the metal-containing catalyst is contacted with water and a superabsorbent, the contacting of the catalyst with the water leading to hydrolysis of the catalyst. The present invention further relates to the use of superabsorbents for removing a metal-containing catalyst from a mixture after hydrolysis of the catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20110120424
    Abstract: A method for operating a fuel pump in a motor vehicle and a fuel pump. A brushless direct current motor arranged in a housing of the fuel pump has a stator and a rotor on a shaft. When the rotor rotates at least one pump stage arranged in the housing is driven via the shaft. The variables of the direct current motor necessary for determining the commutation are fed to a processor in the engine controller of the motor vehicle. The processor generates the electrical signals for the commutation based on these variables according to the field-oriented closed-loop control. These electrical signals are fed to the brushless direct current motor for the commutation.

  • Publication number: 20110043005
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piece of seating furniture (10), more particularly to an upholstered piece of furniture, comprising a substantially horizontal main segment (20), on the top surface of which a sitting surface (22) is provided, and a leg segment (40), on the top surface of which a supporting surface (42) is provided. The leg segment (40) can be moved relatively to the main segment (20) between a stowed position and a functional position in which the leg segment (40) is disposed in front of a front edge of the main segment (20) and is oriented such that the supporting surface (42) extends substantially in a horizontal direction. In the stowed position, the leg segment (40) is located at least in part underneath the main segment (20) and is at an angle in relation to the functional position.

  • Publication number: 20100189543
    Abstract: A fuel pump for delivering fuel in a motor vehicle, having a side channel stage. The fuel pump further includes a peripheral stage. The peripheral stage produces the same pressure at lower volume flow across the periphery of the rotor as compared to a side channel stage. For this purpose, the cross-sections of the delivery compartments of the peripheral stage are smaller than the cross-sections of the delivery compartments of the side channel stage. The fuel pump therefore has a higher efficiency and is less susceptible to soiling.

  • Publication number: 20100172776
    Abstract: A fuel pump for delivering fuel has a housing part made from a coated material. An insert made from an electrically non-conductive material, such as for example phenolic resin, is pressed into the housing part. The insert which is produced from phenolic resin can be pressed into the housing part before a surface treatment of the housing part, since phenolic resin is not electrically conductive. As a result, the fuel pump can be produced particularly inexpensively.

  • Patent number: 7654249
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel pump for a fuel system of an internal combustion engine, having a housing and a housing cap joined to the housing. In order to create a fuel pump which in its operation generates little airborne sound, structure-borne sound (vibration amplitudes) and pulsations in a low-pressure region of the fuel pump, it is proposed that the housing cap has at least one damping element, which is embodied as a sandwich construction having at least a first cover layer, a second cover layer, and a damping connection layer disposed between them. The damping connection layer has a markedly higher elasticity and/or higher material damping than the two cover layers, which may be constructed of sheet metal or the housing cap itself.
