Abstract: A heatable hollow body for transporting and/or storing liquid, gaseous and/or pasty media, having at least one heatable layer which has an electrically conductive material, is provided, wherein the heatable layer is in direct contact at least partially, preferably largely, particularly preferably fully, with the medium to be heated. In some aspects, the electrically conductive material has such a high electrical resistance that it can heat the heatable layer as a resistance conductor, and the electrically conductive material has such a low electrical resistance that the heatable layer is simultaneously electrically conductive. In some cases, the heatable layer has an elastomeric material or a plastics material in which the electrically conductive material is embedded. Also, the electrically conductive material may be conductive carbon black, a metal powder or carbon nanotubes.

Abstract: The inorganic oxidic filler of the invention has hydrolysis-resistant peroxy functionalization and is specifically suitable for bonding into polymer mixtures crosslinked by a free-radical root, in particular in technical items composed of polymer or of elastomer, for example tires, tire components, drive belts, drive belt components, air springs, conveyor belts, hoses, gaskets, etc. Peroxyorganosiloxane groups are bonded here by way of oxygen to oxides of silicon, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, zinc, zirconium, and/or titanium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor as a built-in component of an object, especially an elastic object, the sensor comprising a polymer material containing electroconductive additives according to the invention and thereby acting as an expansion sensor (2), in that it measures the static and dynamic expansions of the object in relation to the acting forces and also monitors the changes of the polymer material generated by the static and dynamic expansions of the object over time. The invention also relates to a sensor arrangement (1) acting especially in combination with the following components: an expansion sensor (2), a fixed resistor (3), an analog/digital converter (4), a micro-controller comprising a memory (5), a radio interface (6), a controlled current/voltage source (7), an energy supply (8), a coupling coil (9), and a receiving unit (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a single or multiple-layer plastic skin as the surface covering of coated objects. Regions are disposed in the plastic skin which are made up of a mixture of the plastic material of the plastic skin and a conducting material.

Abstract: A production machine includes an electrical positioning drive having a stator and a moveable member displaceable relative to the stator in at least one travel direction. The moveable member is mounted, in relation to the stator, in a contactless manner by a magnetic field in at least one of the supporting directions differing from the travel direction. A sensor device is associated with the positioning drive to shift the moveable member relative to the stator in the supporting direction to be detected. A control device is also associated with the positioning drive, and the shift of the moveable member is detected by the sensor device and can be supplied in the supporting direction. A control signal for a positioning magnet system can be determined by the control device, on the basis of the shift of the moveable member in the supporting direction and a nominal positioning of the moveable member.
