Abstract: A hybrid rim of a wheel provided with a wheel hub motor of a motor vehicle includes a non-metal part and a metal part, wherein a rotor housing of the wheel hub motor at least partially forms the metal part of the hybrid rim.

Abstract: A wheel mount, particularly for the front axle of a motor vehicle, has a basic body that has at least individual ones of the following accommodations or recesses: for accommodation of a kingpin for a wheel bearing, for connection of a brake caliper, for mounting of an upper wishbone fork, for mounting of an upper semi-trailing arm, for mounting of a tie rod, for mounting of a lower spring link, for mounting of a further lower wishbone, for positioning of a sensor, particularly an rpm sensor, for attachment of a sensor, particularly an rpm sensor, wherein the wheel mount is produced as a die-cast component made in one piece with these accommodations or recesses and connecting them with one another, preferably from light metal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a heat-treated hub carrier provided with a wheel bearing, the process comprising the successive steps: a) provision of a hub-carrier blank which is preferably cast, b) solution annealing of the hub carrier, c) quenching of the hub carrier, preferably in water and/or air, d) at least partial machining of the hub carrier, e) insertion of the wheel bearing into a recess of the hub carrier, f) re-annealing or hot ageing of the hub carrier.

Abstract: A wheel rim for motor vehicles driven with wheel hub motors has a wheel rim base, an outer and an inner wheel rim flange, and a wheel disk having a center hole, attachment holes, and, if applicable, having spokes. At least a part of the rotor housing of a wheel hub motor forms at least a part of the wheel rim.

Abstract: The invention relates to layer systems having at least one layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide may be either a functional layer—with or without interruption by an intermediate layer which is optically inactive—or a functional layer formed from a metal oxide which is interrupted by an intermediate layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer systems are structurally and thermally stable at operating temperatures of over 600° C. The layer systems may either comprise only one functional layer or may be a multilayer system, preferably an alternating layer system composed of functional layers with high and low refractive indices.

Abstract: A method of producing substrates with functional layers which have high optical properties and/or a high surface smoothness, in particular a low turbidity and significantly lower roughness, is provided. The method includes a sputtering process for coating a substrate with at least one functional layer, the sputtering process being interrupted at least once by the application of an intermediate layer with a thickness of less than 20 nm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coated object in which coatings remain of a constant and unchanged high quality despite operating temperatures of more than 350° C. This is achieved with interlayers which deliberately interrupt and thereby stabilize the morphology of the coating.

Abstract: A scratchproof, temperature-stable protective layer, in particular a scratch-resistant protective layer for cooking hobs is provided. In addition, processes and an apparatus for producing these protective layers are provided. The protective layer includes at least one hard-material layer having a functional layer interrupted by very thin interlayers so that the functional layer has a morphologically dense columnar structure that grows substantially perpendicular to the body surface. The production of layers of this type is achieved by a magnetron sputtering process and a corresponding arrangement, with the tendency of the columnar structures to widen out being reduced by targeted interruption of the growth of the functional layers.

Abstract: A container having an at least partly transparent hollow body and a decoration is provided. The decoration includes at least one interior lining of the hollow body so that reactions between ingredients of a product situated in the container and constituents of the decoration are prevented.
