Abstract: A method of triggering a security alert using a tracking device, including detecting motion using a motion sensor of the tracking device, determining that the detected motion meets a motion threshold, detecting one or more wireless access points in proximity to the tracking device, determining that the one or more wireless access points do not correspond to a recognized wireless access point, and in accordance with the determination that the one or more detected wireless access points do not correspond to a recognized wireless access point, triggering a security alert.

Abstract: It is possible to prevent or at least mitigate discoloration of plastics tableware during machine dishwashing by using amphiphilic block copolymers of -An-Bm- type, where A represents the hydrophilic monomer unit of the hydrophilic block An and B represents the hydrophobic monomer unit of the hydrophobic block Bm and a diene serves as monomer for the hydrophobic monomer unit B.

Abstract: The intention was to improve the primary washing power of washing and cleaning agents in particular towards oily and/or greasy soiling This was achieved substantially by incorporating polymers containing styrenesulfonic acid.

Abstract: An electrical machine, in particular a starter for motor vehicles, with a stator (36) and a rotor (39) is proposed; the rotor has a hollow shaft (63) with various shaft segments. The electrical machine is characterized in that the shaft (63), between a bearing seat (81) and a shaft segment contour (108) for transmitting a torque, is a one-piece tube.

Abstract: A relay (10), in particular for a starter for an internal combustion engine, is proposed. The relay (10) includes a relay coil (13) and a solenoid armature (22) which can be moved when full battery current flows to the relay coil (13). A contact member (37) can be actuated by the solenoid armature (22), whereby an operating lever (31) is situated on the contact member (37). It is provided that a coupling element (46) connects the operating lever (31) and the solenoid armature (22) with each other in a manner that allows them to slide with limits.

Abstract: The starter apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a starter motor; an axially shiftable starting gear engageable with a ring gear of the internal combustion engine; a drive train for transferring rotary motion of a drive shaft of the starter motor to the starting gear, the drive train including a plurality of parts from the starting gear to the drive shaft; a free wheel clutch coupled with the drive shaft of the starter motor; and a shock absorber spring device for damping torque shocks between the starting gear and the drive shaft occurring on operation of the starter and located in the drive train between the starting gear and the drive shaft of the starter motor.
