Abstract: Compositions comprising at least one liquid or carrier-bound, unsaturated organosilane, at least one free-radical generator (FRG), an optional crosslinking catalyst, a thermoplastic base polymer and a reinforcing, extending, or flame-retardant mineral filler provide moisture-crosslinked, filled cable compounds having superior properties compared to conventional cable compounds.

Abstract: A composition containing (i) at least one silicon-containing compound, (ii) at least one peroxidic free-radical initiator, and (iii) at least one conjugated hydrocarbon and/or at least one organofunctional silane of the general formula I

Abstract: For their pump drive dishwashers are usually equipped for reasons of cost only with an unregulated asynchronous motor which however is temperamental in terms of the sealing requirements involved, and a simple controller operating circuit (13) for executing the functional program because a rotary speed-controllable drive could not comply with the price limit which is preset by the market. However rotary speed control would be highly desirable in terms of the level of efficiency, energy demand and the generation of noise. In order to embody a dishwasher with a pump drive which involves a low level of wear and which is controllable in respect of its rotary speed without a substantial increase in cost, the use of a dc motor (11) with field windings (19) which can be alternately supplied with current by way of sensor-controlled switching sections (34) is an optimum.

Abstract: Fillers surface-modified by treatment with an organosilane- and/or organosiloxane-containing agent for preparing filled polyamide compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of alkoxysilanes in which at least one halogenosilane is reacted with at least one alcohol in the presence of metallic magnesium and the alkoxysilane is isolated from the crude product.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for suppressing interference from a sence of bandspread communication signals received by a radio receiver. Each sample is defined as a vector having signal and interference vector components. The interference vector component is such that: 1) the interference dominates the signal vector component, and 2) the phase of the interference vector components in the sequence changes slowly with time. Interference is suppressed while a portion of the signal vector component that is normal to the interference vector component is estimated as an indication of the bandspread communication signal. To do this, a phase angle is determined for each sample based upon each sample's defined vector. The phase angle for each sample is transformed into a corresponding phase vector based on a symmetric sampling of phase angles from previous and subsequent received signal samples.
