Abstract: A body structure of a rear part of a motor vehicle contains at least two side walls, each having a side wall element, and a bulkhead with a cross member on the ground side. The cross member is provided with rearwardly open mounts into which a front end region of the respective side wall element is pushed and is welded and/or riveted to the cross member.

Abstract: A body structure of a motor vehicle has a rear side wall which is constructed in a simple manner. It is important for the side wall to have at least the following components configured as light metal diecast parts: a support, a suspension strut mount and a bracket for a rollover protection device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter circuit for processing an audio signal, comprising a first branch in which the audio signal is guided in an essentially unchanged state to an output summation stage, and a second branch comprising several series-connected filter stages. The audio signal is inputted into a first filter stage of the series-connected filter stages and guided via said stages to an output summation stage. The second branch comprises several secondary branches via which the audio signal is directly guided to further filter stages of the series-connected filter stages. At least one of the filter stages is adjustable and adjusting one filter stage has an impact on the function of another filter stage.

Abstract: A transverse structural member for a seat area of a vehicle has a seat transverse center member that has side attaching sections. Two seat transverse side members are each connected to an associated side attaching section of the seat transverse center member and each extends in a transverse direction of the vehicle from the associated side attaching section of the seat transverse center member to form a functional connection in each case with an associated side sill beam section of the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a container for supplying pressure fluid to a master cylinder of a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system. The container includes a filling reservoir (2,29) arranged at a first level (14,45) and including a fill hole (15,31) and a discharge opening (16,32), a main reservoir (3,30) arranged at a second level (19,46) and including an inlet opening (35, 44 and discharge openings (47,48), as well as a device 8 for monitoring the container's state of filling, with the first level (14,45) being disposed above the second level (19,46), and the filling reservoir (2,29) and the main reservoir (3,30) being interconnected. A device (17,33) for filling the main reservoir is integrated with the container and includes one or more channels (18,34).

Abstract: A tape-like magnetic medium comprising a flexible substrate and a magnetic layer thereon which comprises magnetic pigment and polymeric binder. The magnetic layer has a thickness of at least 3 &mgr;m and a specific surface porosity of at least 80 cm2/cm2. Also provided are a production process for the medium and a high-speed process for the production of a copy of a magnetic master tape.

Abstract: Compositions, consisting essentially of a melt-spinnable polymer component and minor amounts of an emulsion polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder having a melting point sufficiently far above the processing temperature of the polymer component for the micro-powder not to melt during the processing of the polymer component are suitable for producing textile fiber materials.

Abstract: An abrasion-resistant fluoropolymer mixture comprising(A) from 75 to 99% by weight of a fluorocarbon polymer(B) from 1 to 25% by weight of an oxidized polyarylene sulfide and, based on the sum (A)+(B),(C) from 0 to 15% by weight of a filler,is used for the production of feed pipes for Bowden cables which are pressure-resistant and abrasion-resistant.

Abstract: A front-loading washing machine has a laundry drum and a washing liquid container with a rear wall. A drive device for the washing machine includes a stiff carrier part mounted at the rear wall of the washing liquid container and having a bearing sleeve. An at least substantially horizontal shaft supports the laundry drum overhung in the bearing sleeve and has an end protruding out of the bearing sleeve toward the rear. A flat motor is mounted at the rear wall of the washing liquid container for directly driving the shaft. The flat motor has a stator connected to the stiff carrier part to form a disc-shaped chamber and has a rotor. A hub rotationally fixes the rotor to the end of the shaft. Rolling bearings rotatably connect the hub to the stiff carrier part or to the stator.

Abstract: Concentrated, aqueous, colloidal dispersions of tetrafluoroethylene polymers having a polymer solids content of 25 to 70% by weight, which comprise, as the dispersion stabilizer, an amine oxide of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is an alkyl radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms or a mixture of such alkyl radicals and R.sup.2 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 22 carbon atoms or a mixture of such alkyl radicals, and in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and 50 to 0% by weight of the alkyl radicals R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 can be replaced by alkenyl radicals having 6 to 22 carbon atoms and having 1 to 3 C.dbd.C double bonds, are obtained by concentration with addition of these dispersion stabilizers. The dispersions are used for impregnating yarns and textile sheet-like structures.

Abstract: Aqueous, pasty coating compositions containing a fluorine-containing copolymer formed from tetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropene and a polyacrylate thickener which is composed of an essentially noncrosslinked copolymer of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and which has a viscosity of 4 to 40 mPa s in a 1% strength by weight solution in aqueous ammonia at a pH of 9 at a shear rate of 1,000 s.sup.-1 are described. The coating compositions are particularly suitable for application to textile substrates by means of the brushing process.

The composite material is particularly suitable for structural units belonging to the field of textile construction.

Abstract: A screen for reproducing continuous-tone pictures of the kind which has an orthogonal, equally spaced screen structure and which is rotated through 45.degree. from the direction of scanning. In this invention, the individual screen dots are split up into four parts by lines extending parallel and perpendicular to the direction of reproduction which pass through the centers of the screen dots, thus producing square part screen-configuration which, in two opposite corners, each contain covered segments which derive from two different screen dots. Prior to reproduction, one such screen-configuration is stored for each tonal value liable to occur and at the time of reproduction these are called up again for selected tonal values and reproduced under the control of the scanning process.
