Abstract: A medium voltage connector incudes a flange leg and a cone leg. The flange leg is connected to the cone leg, and a central longitudinal axis of the flange leg is angled to a central longitudinal axis of the cone leg. The flange leg is configured to be connected to a part of a medium voltage switch gear. The cone leg comprises an outer cone connection, and an outer surface of the flange leg comprises an electroconductive coating and/or an outer surface of the cone leg comprises an electroconductive coating.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a medium voltage switchgear includes an evaporator section; a fluid conduit; and a condenser section. The evaporator section surrounds a current carrying contact and is configured such that fluid within the evaporator section can contact an outer surface of the current carrying contact. The evaporator section is fluidly connected to the fluid conduit. At least part of the evaporator section is electrically insulating and is connected to the fluid conduit. The fluid conduit is fluidly connected to the condenser section. In use, a working fluid in the evaporator section is heated to a vapor state, the vapor is transferred by the fluid conduit to the condenser section, and the vapor in the condenser section is condensed to the working fluid. The working fluid is passively returned to the evaporator section.

Abstract: A gasket is described herein. The gasket might be used between internal combustion engine components. The gasket might be comprised of metal. The gasket might have several layers including a sealing layer and a compression layer. The gasket includes sections having different radii of curvature. The different radii of curvature might have particular relationships to one another.

Abstract: A system for generating MR images for segmentation and/or use in correcting attenuation in subsequent images using other modalities (e.g., PET, SPECT, etc.) is described. A surrogate soft tissue device is provided and positioned on the patient near the artifact source to provide a surrogate soft tissue boundary that can be imaged and interpreted during segmentation to mitigate the deleterious effects of a local susceptibility artifact in the MR image.

Abstract: A flat gasket for an internal combustion engine is described. The gasket may be used in the hot gas region of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A metallic flat gasket having a through-opening which is covered by a sieve element is described. The gasket serves for sealing a line transition between two components and for capturing particles in the fluid flowing through the line. At leat one metallic layer of the flat gasket has at least two continuations, which extend from the edge of a through-opening into the region of the through-opening, the at least two continuations being curved such that at least two of the continuations merge into each other in one plane or are connected together.

Abstract: Transmission control devices may have two control boxes, and a planar transmission control plate disposed between the two control boxes. The transmission control plate seals the intermediate space between the two control boxes or the channel portions and borings thereof in the form of a flat gasket. The plate also makes available throughflow-openings between channels or borings in the control boxes for a fluid, the fluid in the channels controlling the function of a transmission. The sealing function is achieved by embossed beads and/or partial coatings.

Abstract: A transmission control device has two mutually oppositely arranged counter-components, for example control boxes, and a planar transmission control plate, which is arranged between the two counter-components. The transmission control plate seals the clearance between the two counter-components or their channel portions and bores in the form of a flat seal. The plate also provides through-openings between channels or bores, respectively, in the opposing counter-components, where the fluid in the channels controls the function of a transmission. The sealing function is realized by stamped beads and/or partial coatings. Transmission control plates therefore have fluid through-flow openings so the fluid can flow through from one side of the plate to the other side of the plate.

Abstract: A metallic flat gasket with at least one metallic layer and at least one filter element. The at least one metallic layer has at least one passage opening, which is covered by the filter element. The filter element has a mesh material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing system consisting of a first part and a second part and at least a passage opening extending in both parts, in particular a passage opening for fluids such as hot combustion gases from combustion engines as well as a corresponding metallic flat gasket such that the sealing system comprises or consists of a first part and a second part with the first part and the second part being compressed against each other at a joint contact surface and comprising at least one passage opening in the contact surface, which protrudes into the first and/or second part, an annular groove, which is delimited by the first and the second part and which encircles the passage opening, with the first and second part in the area at least radially outside of the groove come to rest one on the other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control plate as it is for instance used in pneumatic or hydraulic controls. An example of such a control plate is a transmission control plate with which automatic transmissions are controlled hydraulically.

Abstract: A method for production of a pole part of a medium-voltage switching device, and a pole part are provided. To obviate costly pressure reinforcements at least on the switching contact side of the vacuum interrupt chamber in the area of the mold core, while also achieving an optimum injection-molded result, a compensation ring is positioned, before the encapsulation process, as a separate injection-molded seal on or close to the external circumferential line of a vacuum interrupt chamber cover, between the lower cover of the vacuum interrupt chamber and the mold core. The positioned compensation ring is also encapsulated so as to remain in the encapsulation, and the mold core is then removed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat gasket with filter elements. In order to fulfill the increased requirements with respect to cleanliness, there is an increased demand for the integration of filter elements in flat gaskets. The corresponding filter elements mainly serve for picking of impurities accrued during production as well as other residues circulate via the operational fluids, especially during the initial period of operation of an internal combustion engine or a vehicle.

Abstract: When generating MR images for segmentation and/or use in correcting attenuation in subsequent images using other modalities (e.g., PET, SPECT, etc.), a surrogate soft tissue device is provided and positioned on the patient near the artifact source to provide a surrogate soft tissue boundary that can be imaged and interpreted during segmentation to mitigate the deleterious effects of a local susceptibility artifact in the MR image. More specifically, a metal implant may generate a signal void in MRI which may confound the segmentation of the lung in the MR image in such a manner that the lung and the air outside of the patient is falsely identified as one connected region. By providing the surrogate soft tissue device and positioning it in such a manner that its soft tissue boundary separates the lung and the outside air despite the signal void, the segmentation can be improved, thereby improving the attenuation correction which is based on the segmentation result.

Abstract: A resin-encapsulated pole piece is provided and includes a vacuum interrupter chamber having an outer surface. A protective sheath covers the outer surface of the vacuum interrupter chamber. The protective sheath is composed of a heat-shrinkable material. The protective sheath has been pulled over the vacuum interrupter chamber and then heat shrunk so as to be in firm contact with the outer surface of the vacuum interrupter. An outer casing encapsulates the vacuum chamber covered by the protective sheath. The outer casing is composed of a cast epoxy resin and is in contact with the protective sheath.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for producing circuit-breaker parts and plastic components for low, medium and high-voltage switching stations and to a corresponding circuit-breaker part. To obtain a simpler method of production with a higher variance of material characteristics, the outer insulation sleeve is produced in a plastic injection molding method, in which a vacuum interrupter chamber is sheathed in plastic.
