Abstract: A starter arrangement for starting a motor vehicle engine, having a starter ring for connecting to a drive shaft, a starter unit for introducing a starter torque into the starter ring via a starter pinion acting on the starter ring, and a clutch connected to the starter ring for coupling the drive shaft to at least one transmission input shaft of a transmission. The clutch is spaced apart in the axial direction from the starter ring by an axial distance s, a forming reserved installation space for positioning an electric machine for a hybrid drive. The starter unit is positioned at least partially, preferably in large part, within the reserved installation space. A smaller installation space requirement for positioning a drive train in a motor vehicle body is possible by the sharing of the reserved installation space provided for the electric machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for counteracting the escape of radioactive iodine from a cooling system of a water-cooled nuclear reactor, a reducing agent being introduced into the cooling system of the reactor during a shutdown of the reactor and/or during a subsequent after-cooling operation.

Abstract: In a headbox system for a papermaking machine with an adjustable distribution of the fiber stock suspension or pulp over the web width, the flow in the delivery slice is controlled in such a way that, across the web width, also the distribution of the fibers in respect of fiber orientation and quantity has a desired profile. For this purpose, the flow of the fiber stock suspension is controlled such that in the event of a change in the distribution of the fiber stock suspension across the web width, the horizontal component of the flow direction in the delivery slice remains, at all locations, always in the predetermined machine direction and thus transverse flows are avoided and the flow rate in the delivery slice has a predeterminate profile.

Abstract: The papermaking machine contains at least one water pervious dewatering wire or the like for forming a fiber web, particularly one layer of a multi-ply fiber web, and at least one headbox for infeeding a fiber stock suspension to be applied in the form of a free jet to the dewatering wire. Between the headbox and a section of the dewatering wire extending along the headbox there is arranged at least one deflecting device for separating and withdrawing a partial flow or stream of the fiber stock suspension. The deflecting device can be inserted into a marginal region of the free stock jet. Such an arrangement enables, for example, a continuous or infinitely variable adjustment of the format width of the fiber web to be produced.

Abstract: A longitudinal wire papermaking machine is disclosed wherein the longitudinal wire is guided in a dewatering region, following a pre-dewatering path, out of a wire plane downwardly over a deflection element and then upwardly over a downwardly domed or arched dewatering element towards the wire plane. The deflection element is arranged at a spacing K=approximately 15 to 80 mm from the dewatering element. The longitudinal wire is guided at the inlet section of the dewatering region, located between its outbound or run-off location at the deflection element and its lowest deflection location, over a negative pressure zone, for instance constituted by a suction chamber, which is effective at its underside. Hence, at the inlet section there is obtained a reduction in the suspension pressure and the fiber stock suspension is guided with an approximately constant total thickness lower into the dewatering region, i.e.

Abstract: A dewatering apparatus contains a longitudinal wire and an additional wire which is guided, conjointly with the longitudinal wire, along a section of such longitudinal wire over a domed or arched surface. This domed or arched surface is formed, for instance, by the jacket or outer surface of a dewatering cylinder arranged within the wire loop of the longitudinal wire. The longitudinal wire is provided with a headbox and extends forwardly and after the dewatering apparatus essentially in a wire plane, above which upwardly rises the domed surface. Both of the wires are guided out of the wire plane over a dewatering shoe arranged within the wire loop of the additional wire towards the domed surface and from such--if desired over a deflection roll arranged beneath the wire plane--again towards the wire plane, where both wires separate from one another.

Abstract: A headbox arrangement for a papermaking machine contains a plurality of headboxes forming a group, these headboxes being arranged either essentially in parallelism with regard to one another or in fan-like or spread apart configuration. Between each two neighboring headboxes there is located a flexible divider, particularly in the form of a foil member, which extends past the outlet gap or slice of the headboxes.
