  • Patent number: 8418679
    Abstract: The invention relates to a charger module (1) for an internal combustion engine, comprising a mechanical charger (2) and two charge coolers (3, 4), mounted downstream of the charger (2), for cooling the compressed charge air. The aim of the invention is to reduce the costs for producing such a charger module without impairing the rigidity or structural stability of the charger module (1). For this purpose, the charger (2) and the two charge coolers (3, 4) are inserted in a common housing (5) which surrounds the charger (2) and the two charge coolers (3, 4) at least on the bottom side and on two opposite sides.

  • Publication number: 20080074647
    Abstract: A gas concentration measuring apparatus is in miniaturized form and permits the measurement of anesthetic gas components. A variable interferometer is provided on the basis of a Fabry Perot interferometer (1) wherein the mirrors (2, 3) can be changed in spacing with respect to each other. The mirrors (2, 3) have coatings which make possible the transmission in two spectral ranges (??1, ??2).

  • Patent number: 5339663
    Abstract: A lock cylinder which can be actuated from one side by a knob and from the opposite side by a key, has a locking-member hub and a cylinder core which has tumblers adapted to be positioned by the key. A free passage is provided between a coupling member and a locking-member hub so that the coupling member entrains the locking-member hub only in one direction of rotation and can be freely turned back from the entrainment end position.

  • Patent number: 5171047
    Abstract: A drive-rod lock having drive-rods which can be displaced by turning the door handle or the like, and a nut associated with the door handle, which nut, held in its basic central position, can be swung out of said position against spring action in the opposite direction, the lock case bearing a cuff rail which continues beyond the lock case into freely extending cuff rail sections (1') behind which there are guided the drive-rods (48) which so control additional locking members, for instance swivel bolts arranged in the region of the cuff rail sections (1').

  • Patent number: 5058938
    Abstract: A drive-rod lock has drive rods which can be displaced by turning a door handle or the like, and a nut associated with the door handle. The nut, held in its basic central position, can be swung out of that position against spring action in the opposite direction. The lock case bears a cuff rail which continues beyond the lock case into freely extending cuff-rail sections behind which there are guided drive rods. The drive rods control additional lock members, for instance swivel bolts, arranged in the region of the cuff-rail sections. These locking members operate both by the turning of the door handle and as a result of release of at least one force accumulator acting on the drive rods. Operation is obtained by means of a release which is actuated upon the closing of the door by the frame, or the like, and for a favorable positioning of the release even with a small depth of the drive-rod lock.
