Abstract: The invention relates to a formwork element (20a) of a ceiling formwork (10). The formwork element (20a) has a non-fully circumferentially closed, in particular U-shaped, frame onto which a formwork skin can be or is arranged. The frame preferably has at least a first leg, a second leg and a base strut in between. The base strut is preferably oriented at a right angle ±5° relative to the two legs. The legs are preferably each provided at their end regions opposite to the base strut with a fastening projection and/or a fastening recess. The formwork element (20a) can be suspended by a worker from below into a pillar head (16a) and is upwardly pivotable. It makes it possible to build around an obstacle (18) in a simple manner while maintaining a grid-like imprint structure in the concrete surface to be created with the ceiling formwork (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a ceiling table (10) for a partial formwork of a concrete ceiling. The ceiling table (10) has at least one formwork element, in particular multiple formwork elements, which can be assembled on a lower frame (16) of the ceiling table (10) in a nondestructive manner and which can be disassembled from the lower frame (16). The ceiling table (10) has a support skeleton (14) on which at least one formwork element, in particular multiple formwork elements, is/are arranged. The support skeleton (14) can have multiple braces which can be connected together and separated from one another in a nondestructive manner. The support skeleton preferably has a pair of main supports, in particular parallel running main supports, on which a pair of edge supports and at least one central support that is arranged between the edge supports are arranged. The edge supports and the central support run preferably parallel to one another.

Abstract: A formwork part having a compensation element with two transverse supports connected to a longitudinal support. An outer support is movably situated on the transverse supports. A center support may be detachably fastened to the transverse supports. The longitudinal support, the outer support, and/or the center support have/has, preferably at both ends, at least one support head receptacle, in particular formed as a connecting protrusion, in particular at least two support head receptacles, preferably formed as connecting protrusions. The connecting protrusions may be hooked into ceiling supports of the ceiling formwork. The ceiling formwork includes such a formwork part and a formwork element. The formwork element has at least one support head receptacle, in particular formed as a connecting protrusion, which may be hooked into the ceiling support of the ceiling formwork. The ceiling formwork may include the ceiling support, and the ceiling formwork may have a dual support.

Abstract: A support head and a ceiling support. The support head in particular has a plate-shaped design and has multiple guide tabs. The guide tabs are arranged or provided in such a way that a formwork element is secured on the support head so as to prevent shifting, preferably at various positions. The support head has widely opened first guide tabs that are situated opposite from less widely opened guide tabs. This asymmetry of the support head allows the support head to be situated close to a wall corner, while at the same time the formwork element can be easily fastened.

Abstract: In a method for detecting an incorrect installation of brake lines of a brake system for a multi-axle motor vehicle, a tandem brake master cylinder, connected by the brake lines to primary and secondary circuits of the brake system, is actuated to completely fill a primary reservoir of a primary circuit and a secondary reservoir of a secondary circuit of the brake system. The primary and secondary circuits are associated to wheel brakes of a first and second axles, respectively, and provide brake fluid volumes, of which the primary circuit is greater. Outlet valves of the primary and secondary circuits are then closed, and actuation of the tandem brake master cylinder is still maintained to thereby decelerate a revolving wheel of the first axle and determine a braking behavior. A measuring device indicates whether the brake lines are correctly or incorrectly installed as a function of the braking behavior.

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.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides implantable articles and methods of forming implantable articles from a crosslinked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (“UHMWPE”) blend stabilized with Vitamin E. The crosslinked UHMWPE blend may be prepared by combining the UHMWPE material and vitamin E prior to irradiating the UHMWPE blend with electron beam radiation at a sufficient radiation dose rate to induce crosslinking.

Abstract: A quick-change system for a tool holder comprises a machine-side receiving fixture having a hollow-cylindrical extension on which a switching sleeve is displaceably held. Automatic angular alignment of the tool holder upon introduction into the hollow-cylindrical extension of the receiving fixture is enabled by an alignment of the points of the star-shaped end face on the cylindrical holding portion of the tool holder, upon impact against a first set of three balls angularly spaced 120° apart. Once the tool holder has aligned itself in this way, then the first balls make their way into the longitudinal grooves of the cylindrical holding portion, whereby a rotationally fixed coupling is achieved. Upon the further insertion into the hollow-cylindrical extension, an axial securement finally occurs when a second set of three balls are displaced radially inward into associated depressions on the cylindrical holding portion.
