Abstract: A charge air line of an internal combustion engine for supplying multiple cylinders of a cylinder bank of the internal combustion engine arranged in-line with charge air, has multiple charge air line sections. Emanating from each charge air line section a branch leads to a cylinder, the branch screwable to a cylinder head of the respective cylinder. The charge air line has an upstream end, via which charge air is feedable to the charge air line, and a downstream end, which is closed by an end cap. At the downstream end, the charge air line has a larger flow cross section than at the downstream end.

Abstract: The invention relates to a load cell for a scale, comprising a measuring device for producing a temperature-dependent weight measurement signal corresponding to an acting weight and at least one temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the load cell, wherein a temperature-compensated weight can be calculated by an evaluating unit from the produced weight measurement signal and the measured temperature. The temperature sensor is designed as a sensor, in particular a thermocouple, that measures a temperature difference between a first point, in particular a measurement point, of the load cell and a second point, in particular a comparison point, of the load cell.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a load cell for a scale having a monolithically configured measurement body that has a force reception section, a force introduction section, and a joint section arranged between the force reception section and the force introduction section, having at least one strain gauge arranged at the upper side on the joint section for detecting a stretching deformation of the measurement body, and having electronics that are arranged at the force reception side, that are at least partly arranged on a circuit board, and that have a memory in which calibration data of the load cell and/or a value for gravity are stored, wherein a hardware interface is provided via which the memory can be accessed and via which the calibration data stored in the memory and/or the value for gravity can be changed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a bonded, nonwoven sheet of continuous isotactic polypropylene filaments having a nonselvage portion with specified properties rendering the sheet useful as a carpet backing, said properties including an average bond strength, for bonds having a strength greater than 0.1 gram, of at least 0.9 gram and less than the fiber breaking strength, the sheet being characterized by a selvage having an average bond strength which is from about 15-400% greater than the average bond strength of the non-selvage portion of said sheet. There is also disclosed a process for producing said sheet.
