Abstract: A turbocharger (1) having a turbine housing (2), a compressor housing (3) which has a compressor outlet (20), and a silencer (21) which is arranged on an end region (22) on the compressor outlet (20) and which has a silencer housing (23) in which an insert part (25) is arranged so as to form at least one buffer chamber (24) which is connected via at least one opening (26) to an air-guiding duct (27). The opening (26) has an edge (28) with a radially inner corner (29) which is designed so as not to have a sharp edge.

Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger (1), having a turbine (2) and a compressor (3) which is connected to the turbine (2) via a bearing housing (4) and which has a compressor housing (5). The compressor housing has a valve flange (6), provided with a valve seat (11), for an overrun air recirculation valve and has a connecting duct (9) which opens out at one end (9A) in a compressor inlet (7), a valve flange chamber (14) into which the other end (9B) of the connecting duct (9) opens out being arranged between a valve orifice (10) of the valve flange (6) and a valve seat orifice (13) of the valve seat (11). The valve flange chamber (14) is provided with a buffer volume (15).

Abstract: A pager receiver for receiving radio broadcast message signals including call signal information and message information comprises a receiver (3) for receiving and demodulating coded message signals, a memory (5) for memorizing the message information, a coded message signal decoder (4) for selectively furnishing message information to the memory (5) and function control circuitry (8) capable of furnishing control signals to the memory and of receiving therefrom message information stored therein. The memory (5) comprises internal processing circuitry for controlling the reception of message information coming from the decoder (4) so that the selected message information furnished by the decoder (4) may be stored in the memory without the necessity of having control available from a micro-computer or processor outside such memory which thus becomes, in a manner of speaking, "intelligent". The receiver may be applied to pagers incorporated in wrist-watches.
