Abstract: A catalyst carrier body includes a honeycomb body with at least partly structured sheet metal layers having exhaust gas channels. An inner surface of a jacket tube at least partially encloses, and is connected in at least one axial subregion to, the honeycomb body. A sleeve has a length axially less than the honeycomb body and an outer surface against part of the inner surface of the jacket tube. The sleeve is on an outer region of the honeycomb body near an end surface and has an inner surface connected or brazed to radially outward end regions of the sheet metal layers at the end surface for preventing flapping. The sleeve has at least one microstructure for reducing a contact area between sleeve and jacket tube. Such a catalyst carrier body is mechanically and thermally resistant even to high alternating loads and suitable in particular for placement near the engine.

Abstract: A product display device is comprised of a wire base structure with a plurality of spaced-apart, straight parallel wire supports extending in a front-to-back direction, and wire cross bars underlying the wire supports adjacent their front and back ends. Plastic base elements are snap-fitted to the cross bars at the front and back ends of the wire base structure, and a pusher means is provided on the base structure for urging displayed product items toward the front. A molded plastic barrier panei is mounted at the front of the front base element by vertical tabs which are received in vertical grooves at the front of the base element. The plastic barrier panel can be made of clear, transparent material for optimum viewing of the product being displayed. The panels can accommodate the presence of product identifying logos, graphics or other special information associated with a particular product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a housing. Housing walls (1) are provided which are formed so as to be integral and collapsible, constituting the housing in the collapsed state, and which are fitted with functional elements (8) and closing elements (5) of synthetic resin injection-molded onto the housing walls (1), which closing elements (5) are designed so as to be movable.

Abstract: A telecommunications network, which a first protocol, couples to a bearer connection, having a second protocol. At least a portion of the first protocol is mapped to the second protocol. A first signal of the first protocol is translated and inserted into a second signal of the second protocol according to the mapping, wherein the first signal of the first protocol is employed in the control of the bearer connection.

Abstract: A catalyst carrier body includes a honeycomb body having sheet-metal layers and an axial extent. The sheet-metal layers are at least partly structured in such a way that the honeycomb body has passages through which an exhaust gas can flow. The sheet-metal layers of the honeycomb body have end regions lying radially outwardly. A tubular jacket has an edge and an axial span shorter than the axial extent of the honeycomb body. The tubular jacket is connected to the honeycomb body in at least one axial partial-region by a joining technique. A sleeve has an axial length shorter than the axial extent of the honeycomb body and is disposed on an outer region of the honeycomb body, in the vicinity of an end surface. The sleeve has an inner shell surface connected by a joining technique to the end regions of the sheet-metal layers at the end surfaces. The honeycomb body projects beyond an edge of the tubular jacket in a projecting section surrounded by the sleeve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door module (1) for motor vehicles and the manufacture of such a module. The invention is characterized in that the door module (1) is intended for fixation to a door (2) of a motor vehicle and has a synthetic material carrier (1a) as a carrier element, and various function elements and/or reinforcements (11) fixed by synthetic material injection-moulding or connected to the synthetic material carrier (1a) by means of injection-moulded synthetic material.

Abstract: An assembly having a system for preventing mechanical vibration includes a honeycomb body disposed in the interior of a tubular casing for permitting a fluid flow therethrough. The tubular casing has at least one reinforcing structure which locally increases vibration resistance and is connected to the honeycomb body only in at least one partial region of its inner surface at least in a surrounding region of the reinforcing structure only over a part of the inner periphery. The reinforcing structure projects from the outer surface of the tubular casing by more than the thickness of the tubular casing. The system according to the invention enhances both the durability of a honeycomb body as well as its connection to a tubular casing.

Abstract: To prevent dusting of a solid such as a crop protection agent, a pharmaceutical or a dyestuff, there is added thereto as a dustproofing agent a compound of the formula I ##STR1## in which Z represents Z.sub.1 or Z.sub.2 whereZ.sub.1 denotes a bivalent radical of the formula ##STR2## in which W represents a direct bond or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 unit, andZ.sub.2 represents unsubstituted arylenedioxy, wherein the remaining variables are defined herein.

Abstract: A synchronous belt drive, with a high multiplication ratio for transforming a rotary movement into a translation or rotary movement, has at least two rows of teeth with different pitches interconnected by a toothed belt. The rows of teeth with different pitches engage wheels of at least one pair of wheels secured against independent rotation. The products of the number of teeth of the wheels and the pitch of the corresponding row of teeth differ at least slightly from each other. The pitch difference between the toothed belts gives the drive a high multiplication ratio. Very fine gradations and therefore high multiplication ratios may be achieved, even when the tooth modulus is high for reasons of resistance.
