Abstract: Joint arrangement (10) has a hollow cylindrical receiving cylinder (20) that extends in a cylinder axis direction (Z) and receives one end of a chair column (30) of an active-dynamic wobble chair, the latter movably mounted in a substantially hollow cylindrical outer joint shell (40) composed of joint shell segments (45). Movable mounting of receiving cylinder (20) is achieved by deformable elastic elements (50) arranged to be variable in shape and position in a bearing gap (60) between an outer wall portion (21, 22) of the receiving cylinder (20) and an inner wall portion (41, 42) of the joint shell (40). Receiving cylinder (20) is actuated in a force-dependent manner, whereby shape and/or position of the elastic elements (50) change as viewed in a radial direction (Rs) from changing, preferably reducing, clearance of the bearing gap (60) when the receiving cylinder (20) is actuated in a cylinder axis direction (Z).

Abstract: A method of prioritizing communication in networks on a situation-related basis includes comparing a quantity of incoming communications to a predetermined threshold to determine whether an overload is occurring. The method further includes analyzing content of incoming communications, in response to determining that an overload is occurring, to determine whether the overload is related to a particular situation. The method further includes grouping incoming communications, in response to determining that the overload is related to the particular situation, into prioritized communications and non-prioritized communications. The method further includes transmitting the prioritized communications. The method further includes retaining, without transmitting, the non-prioritized communications in a repository so long as the overload is occurring.

Abstract: An exhaust gas aftertreatment device for a motor vehicle has an exhaust pipe and a mixing chamber arranged in the exhaust pipe to mix an exhaust gas stream with a reducing agent which can be introduced into the mixing chamber by a dosing device. The mixing chamber has a wall which is on the input side as viewed in a main flow direction of the exhaust gas stream through the exhaust pipe and in which a first inlet for the exhaust gas is formed. The first inlet extends in some regions in a lateral surface region of the input-side wall such that exhaust gas entering the mixing chamber through the first inlet can be set in a rotating motion inside the mixing chamber. The dosing device has an outlet device where a longitudinal axis of the outlet device is inclined towards the main flow direction of the exhaust gas stream.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment device includes an exhaust gas guide element which has an exhaust gas conduit. A first flow separation element is disposed in the exhaust gas conduit that divides the exhaust gas conduit into a first partial conduit and a second partial conduit. The first flow separation element has a first conduit area. A second flow separation element is disposed in the second partial conduit. The second flow separation element divides the second partial conduit into a first sub-conduit, a second sub-conduit, and a third sub-conduit. The second flow separation element has a second conduit area which is cylindrical or expands in a flow direction. The first conduit area of the first flow separation element expands along an injection direction of a reductant.
