Abstract: The invention relates to a method which uses an injection mold for the production of an intake system which is composed of plastic and is intended for internal combustion engines, and which has a plurality of parallel-running intake pipes and which has, arranged in the intake pipes, throttle flaps operated by way of a shared shaft bearing against bearings located in the walls of the intake pipe. A simplified production process is obtained if two mandrels (1, 2) of the injection mold, intended for formation of apertures for the bearings, are inserted respectively from one side of the injection mold in such a way that ends of the mandrels (1, 2) bear against one another in the injection mold, and if the method of production of apertures situated further outwards, with respectively greater diameter than the adjacent inwardly situated apertures is such that each mandrel (1, 2) is of staged shape, and the mandrels (1, 2) are drawn out during demolding at the two sides of the injection mold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an actuating device (12) with a pressure cell (1) for actuating mechanical systems by means of an actuating rod (13). To determine intermediate positions of the actuating rod (13) in a simple and inexpensive way, a housing (17) of the pressure cell (1) consists entirely or partially of a translucent plastic. Furthermore, a lug (4, 5) that is firmly connected to the actuating rod (13) is provided inside a chamber (14) of the pressure cell (1), with a light barrier (3, 6) arranged outside the pressure cell (1) to detect the position of the lug (4, 5).

Abstract: An arrangement comprises a plastic piece and a metallic insert, of which the plastic piece comprises a fixing hole open at both ends for insertion of a securing screw to screw it to another part, and the metallic insert is designed as a cylindrical bush which can be inserted into the fixing hole of the plastic piece to limit the attachment forces applied to the plastic piece when it is screwed into place. The plastic piece comprises a projection on the hole wall of the fixing hole and the metallic insert comprises at least one recess on its outer wall which interacts with the projection when the metallic insert is inserted into the fixing hole, in order to hold the metallic insert in the fixing hole of the plastic piece.

Abstract: An apparatus for heat connecting sections of polymeric tape, and provided with a thermostat-controlled welding head seated in a flat tubular member adapted to be inserted between sections of the tape and a control module for controlling the temperature of a heating coil as a function of supply voltage, the thermostat being positioned directly over the heating coil.

Abstract: A filter element, in particular for purifying the intake air of an internal combustion engine, constituted by a non-woven fabric or paper folded in the manner of a concertina and secured as a flat plate in a frame (10). In order to increase the stability of this filter medium (11), strut segments (19, 20) are disposed on the frame, which engage in folds in the plate and are bonded thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus for indicating the extent to which an air filter in an internal combustion engine is fouled. For this purpose the apparatus includes a pressure sensor, a sensor to detect the rotational speed of the engine, and an additional sensor which determines the load state of the engine. The signals of the three sensors are combined and serve to produce an air filter dirtiness indicating signal.

Abstract: A pressure control valve for controlling the vacuum in a crankcase housing, which valve is disposed on an oil filler opening (33) and simultaneously acts as a cap for the oil filler opening. A tube 37 through which the crankcase gases are conveyed to the air intake of the internal combustion engine is provided in the oil filler opening. The pressure control valve serves to establish a certain vacuum in the crankcase, is of compact construction, and can be replaced or checked in a simple manner.

Abstract: A pressure regulating valve for venting the crankcase of an internal combustion engine in which the pressure regulating valve is combined with a motor oil filler tube and with an oil dip stick. This combination is distinguished by the fact that it is especially compact, and centrally connects all of the components relating to oil supply and monitoring in an internal combustion engine. This combination is further characterized in that only one connecting opening is needed on the engine block for adding oil, for returning oil from the pressure regulating valve to the oil pan, and for accommodating the oil dip stick.

Abstract: A solid electrolyte capacitor in a chip structure is composed of an anode member having an anode wire. A cathode terminal and a anode terminal are arranged as parts of a carrier band. The cathode terminal comprises an auxiliary clip bent in a U-shaped manner and comprises a further auxiliary clip arranged at 90.degree. opposite thereto, the clips at least partially embracing the chip structure. The capacitor is provided with a plastic envelope.

Abstract: A solid electrolyte capacitor in a chip stucture has a fuse element that is arranged in the anode terminal. What is achieved by applying parting locations in the anode terminal is a current path that extends by way of the anode terminal, the fuse element, an anode wire weld point, an anode wire, a sintered anode member, and a cathode contact to the cathode terminal.

Abstract: For mechanically stress-free assembly of a solid electrolyte capacitor, a system carrier whose cathode terminal and anode terminal are not parted before assembly is employed. The electrode terminals are parted from one another only after the welding of the anode wire to the anode terminal and soldering of the cathode contact to the cathode terminal, preferably being cut by a laser beam.

Abstract: Microwave oven having an oven muffle connected to a high frequency oscillator and a rotatable shaft brought through an opening in a metallic muffle wall with clearance. To prevent microwave energy which is brought into the cooking chamber or muffle from a high frequency generator from getting to the outside through the opening in the muffle wall, i.e. through the clearance, a microwave seal is provided comprising a metallic disc spaced a short distance from and parallel to the muffle wall to form a gap-like microwave transmission line and an annular slot-like microwave pocket adjacent the transmission line with the opening of the pocket next to the opening in the muffle wall.

Abstract: An electrolyte capacitor and method with the capacitor having an anode coated with a dielectric oxide layer and a cathode consisting of a semiconductive metal oxide. A graphite layer is formed on the cathode and an additional semiconductive metal oxide is disposed on the cathode in and between the graphite particles forming the graphite layer.

Abstract: A method of producing a solid electrolytic capacitor including the steps of producing a sintered anode on a capacitor body which anode has a dielectrically effective oxide coating, producing the capacitor cathode by immersing the capacitor in a bath containing a pyrolytically decomposable compound of the element needed for production of the cathode, and while still in the immersion bath, applying a given voltage to the capacitor body, then lowering the voltage to a further value, removing the capacitor body and producing the cathode by pyrolytic decomposition. A graphite layer is then applied in a known manner and an additional coating is produced by further immersing the capacitor body in another bath which contains a pyrolytically decomposable compound of the element needed for that additional coating. A voltage is also applied in the additional bath and after a lapse of time the capacitor is removed and finished in a known manner.
