Abstract: The present invention relates to an insufflator with a novel type of input processing for the setpoint value of the pressure in the body cavity. The new device makes it possible to predefine the pressure in the body cavity as the set pressure when there is sufficient expansion and to apply this pressure to the previous control in order to work as gently as possible on the patient.

Abstract: A chassis for a passenger car includes two main longitudinal chassis beams which are connected to one another via a bumper cross member. A support arrangement extends between the two beams and is supported on a central tunnel. The support arrangement forms a load path in an event of a collision-related force being applied to the passenger car where above and/or below the support arrangement an installation space region is provided for accommodating a component or unit in need of protection. The support arrangement includes a strut which extends in a region of a center of the passenger car between the two beams and which forms a protective device which transmits impact forces forwards to the central tunnel. The strut has a first longitudinal section that is deformable in a targeted energy-absorbing manner and a second longitudinal section which functions as a rigid beam.

Abstract: A catalyst body for an electrically heated catalyst has an electrical contacting assembly, which is arranged on the catalyst body and comprises an electrical conductor embedded in the catalyst body and extending in a longitudinal direction of the catalyst body and at least up to one end face of the catalyst body.

Abstract: An electrically heated catalyst has a catalyst body and a housing at least circumferentially surrounding the catalyst body. An electrical contacting assembly is arranged on a shell surface of the catalyst body, the electrical contacting assembly comprising a surface electrode arranged directly on the catalyst body and a contacting element connected to the surface electrode. The contacting element is rigid and has a screw thread.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a medical engineering device for use in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Until now, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as a device solution is isolated from the networked components of the operating room. The medical professionals are to be assisted in the device setting by an assistance system, by a better integration of the devices used for the MIS (e.g., insufflators, pumps, cameras, monitors) in the total surgery process as well as by a manufacturer-independent, open approach for information collection, information evaluation, and information-based process optimization. In the pre-operative phase already, before the actual surgical intervention, a multitude of information can be collected or acquired, in order to make them available in the intra-operative phase. At the same time, on this basis of data, a first individualization of the diagnostics or therapy to the respective patient can be performed.

Abstract: A sound generating assembly for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a sound generator arranged within a sound generator housing. Furthermore, an outer contour of the sound generator housing has a connecting surface configured to be attached to a motor vehicle structure. The connecting surface is set off from a remaining surface of the outer contour.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling sleep mode in a terminal comprising at least two network interfaces. According to the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: Switching off one of the two interfaces; Activating the switched off interface for a predefined time window upon reception of a predefined signaling message on the other interface.

Abstract: A flap valve for a motor vehicle exhaust system includes a valve housing in which a valve flap is pivotally mounted about a shaft. A bearing housing is disposed in a gas-tight manner outside the valve housing. The shaft is extended through a first orifice in the valve housing and emerges from the bearing housing through a second orifice. Inside the bearing housing, the shaft is surrounded by a bearing ring having a supporting surface pointing towards the valve flap. A spring element, which is mounted in the bearing housing, surrounds the shaft and is supported at the supporting surface and directly or indirectly at the shaft.
