Abstract: An airbag module having an elastically mounted gas generator. An easily fittable, elastic mounting is provided for mounting the the gas generator in such a manner that it can be used irrespective of the shape of the diffuser or of another housing surrounding the gas generator. The gas generator is mounted by means of an elastic subassembly, which has retaining element running obliquely upward, i.e., obliquely in the direction of the covering, and retaining element running obliquely downward, i.e., obliquely in the direction opposed to the aforementioned direction. The two retaining elements are fastened to the gas generator or to a section of the airbag module.

Abstract: Packaging for dismantled switch cabinet components, whereby the individual components or component sub-assemblies are respectively packed using partial packaging having one or several packaging components. In order to minimize packaging expenditure, the packaging components can also be used as an outer lining for the switch cabinet when assembled.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an occupant safety device and a control unit for performing the method. To limit the power supplied to a triggering means from a storage element, the electrical power supplied after operating each triggering means is measured and after a definable power limiting value has been reached the power supplied to the triggering means is interrupted. The known methods based on the voltage at the storage element being the measure of the power supplied prove to be highly prone to error because these depend firstly on the charged state of the storage element and secondly very much on the conductor resistance so that incorrect control action can result.

Abstract: Processes and apparatuses for partly disassembling tape cassettes having at least one closure flap comprise separating the closure flap from the cassette or from the cassette housing at an early time, before, during or shortly after the opening of the cassette. Several process methods and examples of apparatus are specified. The separating methods and apparatuses can be expediently used for all tape cassettes with one or more closure flaps, it being possible for these to be any type of audio, video and data cassettes.

Abstract: A device (213) for altering the displacement volume of a hydrostatic machine (1) has an actuator (3) which can be moved in a direction of adjustment and back in a resetting direction and is connected to a component of the hydrostatic machine (1) which adjusts the displacement volume, a spring (6) supported on a component (7a) of the axial piston machine (1) secured to the housing and a spring leg (6a) linked to the actuator (3) for spring-loading the actuator (3) in the resetting direction (5b). An adjusting device (8) for adjusting the actuator (3) in its zero position is arranged between the spring leg (6a) and the actuator (3) and has an adjusting element (11) for adjusting the actuator (3) relatively to the spring leg of the adjusting device.

Abstract: Continuous recovery of raw materials from coated films and apparatus for this purpose and film material recovered therewith. Large amounts of coated films can be fed to a continuous recycling process in which any pigments present in the coating and the substrate material are recovered. The treatment is carried out at room temperature in an alkaline medium consisting of soft soap, organic solvent and/or water, with or without the use of a catalyst. The solvent is recycled. After the first treatment stage, the film shreds can be treated in a second stage with a solvent/water mixture similarly to the first stage, and thorough final washing in a water or solvent circulation is effected in a third stage. The recovered film shreds are dried, pressed, milled and brought to the desired shape in a plastics agglomerator, and the recovered pigments are dried under reduced pressure (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A number (n) of keys is assigned to an anti-theft system. In order to initialize the anti-theft system, at least the number minus one (n−1) keys must be present so that new coding data can be formed using the previous coding data. During the initialization, the number of all the authorized keys is written into each key. If the vehicle is stolen, the insurer of the vehicle can thus compare the number of authorized keys with the keys that are actually submitted.

Abstract: The invention describes a circuit layout for generating a supply DC voltage in a dependent relationship to a non-constant input DC voltage in three voltage intervals, with the supply voltage being maintained at a constant nominal value in the intermediate voltage interval, and with the supply voltage being reduced by constant differential values in the other two voltage intervals in order to allow emergency functions to the maintained; implementation is effected by means of a diode arrangement for the first differential value, by means of a first Zener diode arrangement for maintaining the constant value, and by means of a second Zener diode arrangement for bridging the diode arrangement. In addition, a process will be described for generating an output voltage with superimposed current pulses for a signal generator unit which process will feed in such a supply voltage via a control circuit. The circuit layout according to this invention is particularly suitable for implementing this process.
