Abstract: A device for laminating a substrate with a thermoplastic coating material has an IR heating device for melting a surface of the coating material, an opposite cooling apparatus which actively cools the opposite surface of the coating material, and at least one press-roller assembly, which presses together the substrate web and the coating material to produce a hot-melt adhesive bond. In order to prevent any irregularities in the finished product, the cooling apparatus is designed as a rotatably driven cooling roller, over the circumference of which the following are arranged in succession: a feed apparatus for the thermoplastic coating material, one or more IR radiant heaters for heating the surface of the thermoplastic coating material resting on the cooling roller, a feed apparatus for the substrate web, one or more press rollers for pressing the substrate web against the coating material, and a removal apparatus for the laminated product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for adhesively bonding substrates in film form, wherein one of the substrates has a thermoplastic surface which is converted into a softened state prior to adhesive bonding, and wherein the surface of this substrate that is opposite to the thermoplastic surface is cooled using a cooling roller. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.

Abstract: A method for operating a drive-train (1) of a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, a transmission connected between the internal combustion engine and a drive output, and a brake assembly. While the motor vehicle is traveling, if a manual command is given or if defined operating conditions exist, the drive-train (1) is operated in a coasting mode, in which the drive-train (1) is disengaged and the internal combustion engine is turned off. If the internal combustion engine, turned off for the coasting mode, fails to restart despite the existence of a signal to restart the internal combustion engine, a braking process is initiated automatically.

Abstract: The invention relates to: a method for adhesively bonding two substrates, in which a first substrate, which contains a thermoplastic, is transported by way of at least one supporting conveyor belt through a heating zone in which the surface of said substrate is softened, and then the second substrate, which has an adhesive layer, is laminated onto the softened surface of the first substrate and pressed together therewith; a composite body obtainable in this manner, in which the two substrates are bonded by a flexible, thin adhesive layer; and a device for adhesively bonding these two substrates by means of the described method.

Abstract: A method for operating a drive-train (1) of a motor vehicle, wherein the drive-train (1) comprises an internal combustion engine, a transmission connected between the internal combustion engine and a drive output, and a compressed aft system of a brake unit. While the motor vehicle is traveling, if a manual command is issued or if defined operating conditions are satisfied, the drive-train (1) is operated in a coasting mode in which the drive-train (1) is disengaged and the internal combustion engine is turned off. In order to achieve the coasting mode, a pressure in the compressed air system of the brake unit is increased before the internal combustion engine is turned off.

Abstract: A method for operating a drive-train (1) of a motor vehicle. The drive-train (1) has an internal combustion engine, a transmission connected between the internal combustion engine and a drive output, and a compressed air system of a brake unit. While the motor vehicle is travelling, if a manual command is issued or if defined operating conditions are satisfied, the drive-train (1) is operated in a coasting mode in which the drive-train (1) is disengaged and the internal combustion engine is turned off. During the coasting mode, a pressure in a compressed air system of the brake unit is determined, and if the determined pressure reaches or falls below a predefined first pressure value, the pressure in the compressed air system of the brake unit is automatically increased, via a pressure-generator, to a predefined second pressure value.
