Publication number: 20220363216Abstract: A pedestrian protection device for a motor vehicle includes a crossbar and a deformation device which is arranged in front of the crossbar. The deformation device has bending limbs with ends which contact a surface or come into contact with the surface in the event of a collision of the motor vehicle and which are designed to be movable along the surface as a result of the collision, and a latching device is formed on the surface, said latching device being latchable with the ends of the bending limbs as a result of the collision. The deformation device has a plurality of such bending limbs, wherein a first bending limb and a second bending limb are arranged adjacently to each other, and the first bending limb and the second bending limb are offset relative to each other in the movement direction of the bending limbs and/or the end of the first bending limb and the end of the second bending limb are designed to be movable in opposite directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Oeztzan AKIF, Majid HOJJAT, Arne KOEHLER, Roland LANG, Theodor MEINERLING, Lin MOELLENHOFF

Patent number: 4515760Abstract: The NH.sub.3 content is regulated in methanol used in a process for scrubbing out sour gases from gaseous mixtures and/or for preventing ice formation prior to the scrubbing step. The methanol is freed, after the scrubbing step, respectively of absorbed gaseous components and/or water, and reused in the cycle as scrubbing liquid and/or for preventing ice formation. A strong acid is added to the methanol from water-soluble ammonium salts. Thereby, dissolved salts are formed which are removed together with water. Deleterious trace acids are also removed by an analogous treatment with a basic compound. The acid/base treatments are conducted in succession.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1983Date of Patent: May 7, 1985Assignee: Linde AktiengesellschaftInventors: Roland Lang, Heinz Karwat
