Further aspects of the invention are a process for their preparation, a UV stabilized composition containing the new UV-absorbers, a process for the stabilization of organic materials and the use of the new compounds as UV-light stabilizers for organic materials.

Abstract: The invention concerns a conveyor system for oil or gas with an engine, which generates an exhaust gas flow 4; with a conveying device (2) driven by the engine in the form of a pump or compressor, which conveys and/or compresses said oil or said gas; with an exhaust gas energy recovery device, which converts the heat of the exhaust gas flow (4) into mechanical energy.

Abstract: A method for controlling the speed of a vehicle having a regenerative or active braking capacity when the vehicle is traveling downhill using a cruise control system on the vehicle. When brake pedal is applied and the cruise control is set, the vehicle is put into a controlled braking mode. The cruise control system controls are then used inversely to the normal operation where decreases in vehicle speed are provided by applying motoring torque. For the inversed cruise control, increasing the vehicle speed is prohibited by applying more regenerative braking torque.

Abstract: The present invention provides organometallic latent catalyst compounds, which are suitable as catalysts in polyaddition or polycondensation reactions which are catalysed by a Lewis acid type catalyst, in particular for the crosslinking of a blocked or unblocked isocyanate or isothiocyanate component with a polyol or polythiolto form a polyurethane (PU).

Abstract: Systems and methods for settling credit default swap contracts upon occurrence of a credit event are provided. In the first stage an inside market price and imbalance between net sell and buy positions are determined. When there is an imbalance between net sell and buy positions, a second stage is employed to determine a final price for settling the imbalance.

Abstract: A hazy polyester film with a thickness in the range from 10 to 100 ?m including thermoplastic polyester as the main constituent and barium sulfate with a particle size in the range from 0.1 to 0.5 ?m, expressed as d50, in an amount in the range from 5 to 25% by weight. The films exhibit a transparency, measured to ASTM-D 1003, of greater than 56% and a haze in the range from 40 to 95%. Owing to their particular optical properties in the form of high transparency with simultaneous scattering action in the form of volume scatter, the film is suitable particularly for use for internal and external window glazing, for interior paneling in bright rooms, for exhibition construction, in vehicles and buildings, in the lighting sector and in shopfitting and shelving.

Abstract: An inductor array that includes a plurality of inductors where adjacent inductors share a core piece and thus a flux path to reduce the size and weight of the array. In one embodiment, the shared core pieces are formed as back-to-back U-shaped members defining an indented region at the center of the core piece. In another embodiment, a plurality of small block-shaped center core pieces in each inductor defines a plurality of gaps therebetween.

Abstract: A process for modifying the surface of an inorganic or organic substrate with strongly adherent nanoparticles is described, providing to the surface modified substrate durable effects like hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, electrical conductivity, magnetic properties, flame retardance, color, adhesion, roughness, scratch resistance, UV-absorbance, antimicrobial properties, antifouling properties, antiprotein properties, antistatic properties, antifog properties, release properties. In this process, an optional first step a) a low-temperature plasma, ozonization, high energy irradiation, corona discharge or a flame is caused to act on the inorganic or organic substrate, and in a second step b) one or more defined nanoparticles or mixtures of defined nanoparticles with monomers, containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated group, or solutions, suspensions or emulsions of the afore-mentioned substances, are applied, preferably at normal pressure, to the inorganic or organic substrate.
