Abstract: A rotational rate gyroscope for detecting rotation thereof comprises a base member, a primary oscillator supported by its primary oscillator suspension so as to be movable with respect to the base member, and a secondary oscillator supported by a secondary oscillator suspension, separate from primary oscillator suspension, so as to be movable with respect to the primary oscillator. The secondary oscillator suspension is designed such that movement that can be applied to the primary oscillator can be transferred to the secondary oscillator, whereas the movement of the secondary oscillator effected by the Coriolis force substantially is not transferred back to the primary oscillator. In addition thereto, the major surfaces of the primary oscillator and of the secondary oscillator extend substantially in the same plane, with the movement of the primary oscillator and/or of the secondary oscillator also taking place in this plane.

Abstract: Polyhalogenated cinnamic acids and cinnamic acid derivatives are prepared by reacting diazonium salts accessible from polyhalogenated anilines with acrylic acid or acrylic acid derivatives in the presence of a homogeneous, palladium-containing catalyst at about −5 to about +100° C. Some of the cinnamic acids and cinnamic acid derivatives obtainable in this way are new. Cinnamic acids and cinnamic acid derivatives which can be prepared according to the invention can be used for the preparation of indanones which are precursors for agro- and pharmaceutical chemicals and for substances having liquid-crystalline properties.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for limiting the temperature of the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine operating at high load. In the method, a first measure for reducing the exhaust-gas temperature is carried out when the engine is operating under high load. Then, a check is made as to whether this measure is effective. If the first measure is inadequately effective, then a second measure is carried out to reduce the exhaust-gas temperature.
