Patent number: 9139182Abstract: The invention relates to a reservoir, in particular for hydraulic motor vehicle brake systems, having one or more pressure medium chambers, a filler neck for filling the reservoir with pressure medium and a pressure medium passage, which is connected to the filler neck and has an opening facing the pressure medium chamber. In order to provide a reservoir which reliably prevents the pressure medium from leaking when the vehicle is in extreme positions and which, at the same time, can be produced in a simple and inexpensive manner, the proposal according to the invention is that the pressure medium passage be provided as a lateral channel which extends in the longitudinal direction along the reservoir, starting from the filler neck, and be formed by walls of an upper part and of a lower part of the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2010Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Peter Tandler, Werner Krebs, Stephan Schlicht, Hans-Jürgen Neumann, Christoph Schiel, Yoji Hiraga

Patent number: 9127842Abstract: A burner incorporating a pilot cone and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone is constructed as a pilot cone assembly which is decoupled from the mounting insert. Further, an operating method for increasing the service life of a burner which incorporates a pilot cone assembly and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone assembly has a cone side and incorporates at least one further side where the further side is arranged to be essentially parallel to one of the sides of the mounting insert and spaced apart from it, so that between the further side and the side of the mounting insert there is a defined gap. In an operation of the burner, the gap is significantly reduced by the thermal expansion in at least at one point of contact between the further side and the side of the mounting insert. Finally, an assembly method is provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Andreas Böttcher, Thomas Grieb, Matthias Hase, Peter Kaufmann, Werner Krebs, Tobias Krieger, Patrick Lapp, Mark F.

Publication number: 20140366553Abstract: A combustion chamber (10, 20) for a gas turbine (1) having a housing (12, 23), a combustion zone (21, 22, 47) surrounded by the housing (12, 23), and at least one burner arrangement (11, 25), which has at least one pre-mixing passage (28) opening into the combustion zone (21, 22) for preparation of a fuel/air mixture. To enable suppression of combustion chamber pressure fluctuations, at least one interference body (50) is provided against which a flow can take place and to which a Strouhal number can be assigned, the flow generating fluidically induced sound waves. The interference body (50) is in a passage (48, 59) opening into the combustion zone (21, 22, 47). A fluid (51, 62) flowing through the passage (48, 59) in the direction of the combustion zone generates a sound wave with a frequency f by flowing against the interference body (50), wherein the frequency f substantially corresponds to a dominant frequency of the combustion chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2012Publication date: December 18, 2014Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Christian Beck, Olga Deiss, Werner Krebs, Bernhard Wegner
