Abstract: The present invention relates to a frame for carrying a concrete-distribution boom, the frame comprising a carrier profile (13) which has: at least one force-absorption region (16, 17), for absorbing a flow of force exerted by the concrete-distribution boom; and a force-dissipation region (18), which is spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the carrier profile (13), for dissipating the flow of force into the ground. The carrier profile (13) comprises at least two profiled sheets (20, 21), which are each bent along at least one bending axis (26, 27, 31) and are assembled along at least two connection lines (22, 23) to form a hollow profile. The carrier profile formed by bent profiled sheets is simple to produce and flexible to use.

Abstract: A braking system of a vehicle, with at least one brake control system with a brake pressure regulator which, in case of a braking request, builds up a hydraulic brake pressure by which the vehicle wheel brakes can be actuated. The brake control system is attached to the vehicle body via a holder. For the detection of a holder failure, an evaluation unit is provided, which acquires a sensor signal curve from an internal sensor built into the brake control system. In the evaluation unit, a signal comparison occurs. The acquired sensor signal curve is compared to a reference signal curve. In case of a significant deviation of the acquired sensor signal curve from the reference signal curve, the evaluation unit generates a holder damage signal.

Abstract: An antioxidant combined with UHMWPE prior to subjecting the UHMWPE to crosslinking irradiation. In one exemplary embodiment, the antioxidant is tocopherol. After the antioxidant is combined with the UHMWPE, the resulting blend may be formed into slabs, bar stock, and/or incorporated into a substrate, such as a metal, for example. The resulting product may then be subjected to crosslinking irradiation. In one exemplary embodiment, the UHMWPE blend is preheated prior to subjecting the same to crosslinking irradiation. Once irradiated, the UHMWPE blended product may be machined, packaged, and sterilized in accordance with conventional techniques.
