Abstract: A hydraulic conveying device for an internal combustion engine may include a pendulum slide pump including an inner rotor drivingly connected to an outer rotor via a plurality of pendulum slides. A hydraulic actuation device may change an eccentricity between the inner rotor and the outer rotor via an actuation member. The actuation member may be prestressed by a spring device. The actuation device may further include a first pressure-setting chamber and a second pressure-setting chamber for adjusting the actuation member. At least one of the first pressure-setting chamber and the second pressure-setting chamber may be connected via a control valve to a pressure side of the pendulum slide pump. A hydraulic line may connect the pendulum slide cell pump downstream to a hydraulic medium filter. The control valve may be connected to the hydraulic line upstream of the hydraulic medium filter.

Abstract: A pump arrangement may include a pendulum-slide cell oil pump and a vacuum pump. The pendulum-slide cell oil pump and the vacuum pump may be driven by a common shaft and may be mounted in a common housing. The vacuum pump may be configured as a rotary vane pump and include a rotor composed of a plastic.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of styrene polymers containing water as the sole expanding agent by polymerization of styrene in aqueous suspension in the presence of an amphiphilic organic emulsifier which carries both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, or a polar group-containing, water-miscible polymer.
