Abstract: The invention relates to a quick coupling for coupling a tool to the boom of a working machines, comprising a quick coupling part at the boom side and a quick coupling part at the tool side that are latchable to one another via two spaced apart latching axles and an energy circuit coupling for the automatic coupling of an energy connector at the tool side and an energy connector at the boom side that comprises an energy coupling part at the boom side and an energy coupling part at the tool side that move toward one another by pivoting together about a first latching axle on an orbit and thereby automatically couple with one another. At least one of the energy coupling parts is movably supported. The energy circuit coupling comprises a linear guide that compensates the circular relative movement of the energy coupling parts on the pivoting together and guides them linearly toward one another.

Abstract: A sensor for detecting particles in a gas flow, in particular soot particles in an exhaust gas flow, includes at least two measuring electrodes, which are positioned on a substrate made of an insulating material. To protect the measuring electrodes, they are covered by a protective layer.

Abstract: A concrete pipe making machine having a packerhead consisting of a rollerhead and a longbottom in which the rollerhead and longbottom are quickly assembleable and disassembleable as a unit from the packerhead drive means with one connector and brought into final adjustment off the machine, said drive means providing no obstruction to the flow of wet concrete toward the compaction area, the speed ratios between the rollerhead and longbottom being infinitely variable, and easily replaceable protective wear rings for precluding erosive deformation of the permanent parts of the machine due to undesired penetration of wet concrete into the longbottom.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a user of a mobile vehicle with informational associated with a transmitted satellite radio program. The call center receives a data request for informational data associated with a radio program at a call center from a telematics unit via a wireless network. A determination is made of at least one informational data associated with the data request. The determined informational data is sent to a user communication device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of operating a telematics device within a mobile vehicle communication system. The method includes generating at least one personal route profile, comparing predetermined GPS hotspots to the personal route profiles, detecting real-time traffic updates associated with the predetermined GPS hotspots, identifying GPS hotspots corresponding to the personal route profile and based on the real-time traffic updates, and providing information relating to selected identified GPS hotspots based on the real-time traffic updates. The personal route profile may be generated from a user interface. The predetermined GPS hotspots may be created based on user interface input. The selected GPS hotspots may include all identified GPS hotspots within a predetermined geographic area of the personal route profile. The selected GPS hotspots may include GPS hotspots in the forward path of a vehicle including the telematics device.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve is provided that has a compact structural design and has especially low-noise characteristics. This is achieved in a valve with two pole pieces, wherein at least one pole piece is provided with a fluid line and a valve seat, and wherein the fluid line is connected by the valve seat with a valve chamber, in which a valve body is arranged so that it can move between at least two switch settings between the valve seat and at least one other stop surface, which operates at especially low noise levels. This is achieved according to the invention by providing at least one guide piece (15) incorporated in the valve housing to linearly guide the valve body in an axial direction.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve is proposed that has a compact structural design and is especially convenient to manufacture.
