Abstract: Composite materials contain a silicone addition crosslinkable silicone elastomer composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having aliphatic unsaturation, an Si—H functional cyclic organopolysiloxane, a hydrosilylation catalyst, together with specific adhesion promoters, applied to a substrate material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a steering wheel position of a motor vehicle which has an evaluation unit and a servo-assisted steering device, a position sensor being assigned to the servo-assisted steering device. After loss of an on-board power system voltage, the servo-assisted steering device conducts a steering angle value which is absolute at least in one circular segment to the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit detects an absolute steering angle position which is transmitted to the servo-assisted steering device which accepts the absolute value obtained from the evaluation unit.

Abstract: A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle having at least two propulsion engines. According to the specification of an operating controller, propulsion is provided via the first propulsion engine, in particular an internal combustion engine, and/or the second propulsion engine, in particular an electric motor. The percentage contribution of the propulsion of the second propulsion engine is controlled as a function of the data pertaining to the travel route communicated to the operating controller, taking into account a charge state of an energy accumulator. An optimized operating strategy is determined by specifying a geographic destination and/or a destination parameter of the operating strategy, the travel route being selected by taking into account the optimized operating strategy when alternate travel routes are available.

Abstract: Base compositions for addition-crosslinking silicone compositions are continuously produced by, in a first stage, homogeneously mixing and kneading organopolysiloxanes and flowable prehydrophobized oxidic reinforcing fillers in a continuous kneading machine with kneading chambers arranged alongside one another. In a second, downstream, stage of the process, the compositions produced in the first stage are subjected to aftertreatment in a mixing apparatus in which the compositions have been subjected to a mixing procedure with introduction of shear force.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for controlling a wind energy plant, with a nacelle disposed on a tower and with a rotor with at least one rotor blade, the blade adjustment angle of which can be adjusted by means of a blade adjustment equipment. The objective to provide a reduction of the loads acting on the plant when there is a malfunction of the blade adjustment equipment is resolved according to the present invention in that the function of the blade adjustment equipment is monitored, and when an error of the blade adjustment equipment occurs, the nacelle is rotated from an operating position into a rest position, in which there is a flow of the wind against the surface extended by the at least one rotor blade (4) in a rotation of the rotor which is reduced with respect to the operating position.

Abstract: A method for the operation of a wind energy plant with a rotor, which transfers a driving moment to a generator via a drive train, wherein the generator provides a pre-settable generator moment acting opposite to the driving moment and is connectable to a grid, characterised in that after a sudden voltage change in the grid, the generator moment is controlled depending from the phase position of a torsional vibration of the drive train.

Abstract: Silicone moldings are conditioned in a conditioning oven at a pressure less than 150 hPa, and exhaust gas from the oven is scrubbed with cold water from which an organic phase is separated. The cold water is recirculated, and the scrubbed exhaust gas may be recirculated. Emissions of volatiles by this method are sharply reduced.

Abstract: Addition crosslinkable silicone compositions with excellent adhesion to polymer and other substrates contain an Si—H functional cycloorganosiloxane and an adhesion promoter having at least two aryl moieties linked by an intermediary linking group and containing at least one aliphatically unsaturated group.
