  • Publication number: 20080289961
    Abstract: A sensor element for determining the oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas has a conductor track applied to a solid electrolyte, which includes an electrode provided in a measuring area of the sensor element and an electrode lead connected to the electrode and situated in the lead area of the sensor element. In a transition area between the measuring area and the lead area, the conductor track has a narrowing. Furthermore, the electrode includes a first electrode section and a second electrode section, the first electrode section being connected to the electrode lead in a transition area between the measuring area and the lead area, and the first and second electrode sections being electrically connected to one another only on their sides facing away from the lead area.

  • Patent number: 6432211
    Abstract: A method of cleaning an imaged printing form having a silicone-based non-printing layer, which includes exerting a defined contact pressure by a cleaning arrangement on a printing-form surface to be cleaned, and moving at least one of the printing form and the cleaning arrangement relative to the other, further includes applying cleaning fluid to the printing-form surface to be cleaned, the cleaning fluid, besides water, containing a cleaning concentrate as a component, the cleaning concentrate having 1 to 30 percent by weight of an anionic surfactant and 1 to 30 percent by weight of a nonionic surfactant; and a cleaning fluid for cleaning a printing form.

  • Patent number: 5775115
    Abstract: A climate control device for a cooling compressor operated by a driving means. The climate control device including a control device for operating the cooling compressor at a compressor speed associated with a speed of the driving means and a connection device operatively connecting the cooling compressor and the driving means. The connection device comprises a viscous coupling including a drive-side element with a work chamber and a reserve chamber in which the filling level ratios of viscous fluid in the chambers are controlled in accordance with preset values from the control device. In addition, the connection device also includes a belt disposed about the drive-side element and driven by the driving means so as to rotate the drive-side element. A driven-side element operatively connected to said drive-side element by the work chamber and in transmitting connection with an input element of the cooling compressor.

  • Patent number: 5683511
    Abstract: An apparatus for applying a liquid to threads of a yarn sheet. The apparatus comprises multiple thread wetting elements, each of which has at least one thread guide groove for each thread. In the thread guide groove the thread travels with the liquid and each thread guide groove has one associated liquid feed bore or groove for supplying the liquid to the thread guide groove. The liquid feed bore or groove terminates in the thread guide groove. There is a liquid distributor which is implemented as a support to which the thread wetting elements are attached and which supplies liquid feed to each liquid bore or groove. The separation of adjacent thread guide grooves is 2 to 30 mm, and adjacent thread guide grooves are different distances from the liquid distributor such that the thread guide grooves are offset in an alternating manner.
