Abstract: A high-pressure fuel pump includes a pressure-limiting valve that opens from a high-pressure region of the high-pressure fuel pump towards a compression chamber or towards a low-pressure region of the high-pressure fuel pump. The pressure-limiting valve includes a valve body with a valve seat surface that tapers against the opening direction of the pressure-limiting valve, a spherical valve element, and a valve spring, which presses the spherical valve element against the opening direction of the pressure-limiting valve towards the valve seat surface. When the pressure-limiting valve is closed, the valve element and the valve seat surface bear against one another over a contact line, and a gap is formed between the valve element and valve body, next to the contact line. This gap is asymmetrically narrower upstream of the contact line than downstream of the contact line.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing metal structures for the electrical connection of components comprises the following steps: depositing an auxiliary layer on a substrate; structuring the auxiliary layer in a manner such that the substrate is exposed at least one environment which is envisaged for the metal structures; depositing a galvanic starting layer on the structured auxiliary layer; depositing a lithography layer on the galvanic starting layer and structuring the lithography layer in a manner such that the galvanic starting layer is exposed at least one location envisaged for the metal structure; galvanically depositing the at least one metal structure at the at least one exposed location; removing the structured auxiliary layer. An electronic component is also described.

Abstract: A tobacco product wrapping, material comprising composite particles is described, the composite particles being obtainable by a method in which an aqueous suspension containing calcium carbonate particles is prepared, and a metal salt comprising an aluminum cation is added. The metal salt is able to form a basic metal component in the suspension; and has a solubility of greater than 9.0 mg/L in water, measured at the pH value of the prepared suspension and at a temperature of 20° C. The invention further relates to a method for the production of the tobacco product wrapping material, the use of such tobacco product wrapping material for the production of tobacco products, and the tobacco products produced with the tobacco product wrapping material.

Abstract: A message may be used to update computing system of a commodity transaction. The message may include a commodity identifier, a date term, a quantity term, and a price term. The price term may include a formula arrangement or reference to a formula arrangement for calculating a fractional exposure of the entity to the commodity on each date in which an event affecting commodity transaction occurs. Each of these fractional exposures may be calculated for each commodity transaction and stored as separate entries in a data structure. The entries may then be updated, queried, and/or reorganized to generate an exposure position.
