Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-heating conductor for a radiation source, wherein the micro-heating conductor is formed from a meandering heating conductor structure which has meandering protrusions and spans a heating conductor structure plane with a surface normal, wherein adjacent meandering protrusions are formed in the heating conductor structure plane and so as to face away from one another in opposite directions.

Abstract: A pump-motor combination includes a motor (30) and a pump (20). The pump has a first rotor (21) and a first housing 300). The motor is an electric motor (30) having a second rotor (31), a stator (33) and a second housing (32). The first (pump) rotor (21) is at least partially coupled, and the second (motor) rotor (31) is completely coupled, to a common rotating shaft (40) in order to enable transmission of rotation of the second (motor) rotor (31) to the first (pump) rotor (21). The pump-motor combination can be installed with the gearbox (G) or transmission of a motor vehicle, to assure supply of lubricant (360) when a primary lubricant pump (350) has not been operating, for example, upon start-up. Use of the common shaft (40) minimizes frictional losses during operation and reduces the cost of manufacture, since fewer bearings are needed.

Abstract: Feedback control of combustion in a gas diesel dual-fuel engine (20), based on the measured cylinder pressure, has been invented. The center of combustion and pressure rise rate is controlled by manipulating the start of diesel injection and duration of diesel injection. Measurements of transient engine operation show, that the proposed controller is able to control the center of combustion and the maximum pressure rise rate. The influence of changing intake manifold pressure, changing exhaust gas recirculation rate and changing air-fuel ratio can be compensated by the controller (10). Steady state measurements show that the gas diesel dual fuel engine reaches efficiencies around 40% with stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and diesel ratios below 5%. The results have been obtained on a slightly modified production type common-rail diesel engine with four cylinders and a displacement volume of 2 liters.
