Abstract: An optical glare limiter uses an electrical power source, typically of a motor vehicle. It includes a light sensor component and a light source. The light from the glare limiter light source falling on a reflecting surface depends on the intensity of the light falling on the light sensor component from an external blinding source and can be regulated electronically so that the light in the driver's field of vision has a contrast that is almost homogeneous and widespread with the effect of reducing the blinding effect.

Abstract: A process is described for the co-production of maleic anhydride and at least one C4 compound selected from butane-1,4-diol,  gamma -butyrolactone, and tetrahydrofuran in which maleic anhydride is produced by partial oxidation of a C4 hydrocarbon feedstock to yield a vaporous reaction effluent stream comprising maleic anhydride, water, unconverted hydrocarbon feedstock, and carbon oxides. A part of the maleic anhydride present in the vaporous reaction effluent stream is condensed to form a crude maleic anhydride stream and leave a residual vaporous stream containing residual amounts of maleic anhydride. Further maleic anhydride is absorbed.from the residual vaporous stream by absorption in an organic solvent, water or an aqueous solution. Maleic anhydride is then recovered from the loaded liquid absorption medium. Said at least one C4 compound is produced by hydrogenation of a C4+ hydrogenation feedstock selected from maleic anhydride, maleic acid, dialkyl maleates, and mixtures of two or more thereof. The process is characterised in that the vaporous reaction effluent stream is cooled prior to step (iii), that a guard bed of a phosphorus-absorbing material is placed in the path of the cooled vaporous reaction effluent stream prior to step (iii) thereby to remove phosphorus-containing materials therefrom, and that material of the crude maleic anhydride stream of step (iii) is used as the C4+ hydrogenation feedstock of step (viii) or is used to prepare the C4+ hydrogenation feedstock of step (viii).

Abstract: A load-disconnecting switch has a permanent-magnetic holding circuit. A coil (5), upon excitation thereof, generates a magnetic flux that is opposite to the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet (9). The armature (6) is biassed to an open position by an armature spring (10), so that the armature spring (10), when a defined operational excitation is exceeded, detaches the armature (6) from the core (7) of the magnet system, allowing said armature to open and thereby disconnecting a switching contact (15) and a fixed contact (16). The load-disconnecting switch can be switched on again by means of a spring clip (12) acting on said armature (6).
