Abstract: In exhaust devices, consisting of housings (1) and/or pipes (2) carrying exhaust gases, parts must, if necessary, be surrounded by an insulating shell consisting of insulating material (3), generally mineral wool, and a sheet-metal jacket (4). The connection between the sheet-metal jacket (4) and the housings (1) or pipes (2) is made on the one side as a fixed bearing (6) and on the other side as a loose bearing (7). In the region of the fixed bearing (6), a clamping ring (8.5) presses the end of the sheet-metal jacket (4) into a circumferential bead (2.1) in the pipe (2). In the region of the loose bearing (7), a sliding collar (9.1) (which is welded on one side to the pipe (2) carrying exhaust gases) overhangs the end (4.1) of the sheet-metal jacket (4). In this way, the connecting points (6, 7) between the sheet-metal jacket (4) and the exhaust device (1, 2) are sealed against the penetration of dirt and moisture and against insulating material (3) emerging. Relative movements between the sheet-metal jacket (4) and the housing (1), caused by engine vibration, pulsations of the exhaust gas and unevennesses in the roadway, are reduced to a minimum. The service life of the insulating material (3) is increased. Thermally dependent expansion differences between the sheet-metal jacket (4) and the exhaust device (1, 2) are compensated for without problems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a two-stroke double piston engine, a piston (2, 3) runs in each of two adjacent cylinders (1a, 1b), a common combustion chamber (15) being formed. 
<??>In order to ensure that such an engine gives low exhaust emissions in combination with low consumption, a lean mixture is burnt, the complete combustion of which is made possible by the fact that a rotation of the fuel/air mixture or ignited mixture is produced in the common combustion chamber (15), with the result that this mixture burns rapidly and thoroughly. In addition, the two-stroke double piston engine can be designed for stratified charging, excellent separation between the lean component and the rich component of the mixture being effected by the centrally arranged partition wall (24) in the double cylinder (1).

Abstract: Das Verfahren dient zur aktiven Dämpfung von Schwingungen an einer Papiermaschine. Es werden die kinematischen Größen gemessen, die die durch die Schwingungen erzeugten Bewegungen der Papiermaschine bzw. Teilen davon beschreiben. Die kinematischen Größen werden als Meßsignale in einem Regler (5) verarbeitet. Zwischen relativ zueinander beweglichen Massen, von denen mindestens eine zur schwingungsfähigen Struktur (1) der Papiermaschine gehört, ist mindestens ein Stellmotor (2) vorgesehen, der durch den Regler (5) gesteuert wird. Die Bewegung dieses Stellmotors (2) wird in der Weise erzeugt, daß sie der zu dämpfenden Schwingungsbewegung entgegengerichtet ist. Die auf diese Weise erzeugte Bewegung zur Dämpfung der Schwingungen kann sowohl zwischen Teilen der Papiermaschine, als auch zwischen einem Teil der Papiermaschine und einer eigens hierfür angebrachten beweglichen Zusatzmasse (3) erzeugt werden. Zum Abbau der Schwingungsenergie kann ein Dämpfer vorgesehen sein, welcher sich auch in den Stellmotor (2) integrieren läßt. Die Kraftwirkung des Stellmotors kann beispielsweise durch ein Druckmedium, durch Piezo-Kristalle oder durch magneto-striktive Elemente hervorgerufen werden. Mit Hilfe des Verfahrens können gegebenenfalls mehrere Schwingungseigenformen, die an der zu bedämpfenden Papiermaschinenstruktur auftreten, bedämpft werden.

Abstract: For knee reconstruction surgery involving replacement of an anterior or posterior cruciate ligament the present invention is in a process for verifying isometric ligament positioning at the femoral and tibial points of origin that includes, as apparatus, an arrangement of a stud (19) with attached suture (24) to serve as a mock ligament for testing isometry. In practice, as for an anterior cruciate ligament replacement procedure, a surgeon, observing on a fluoroscopic monitor (17), forms a tibial tunnel (18) from a point medial to the tibial tuberosity that exits a test or proposed tibial point of ligament origin. The stud (19) is arranged for turning on a driver (20) that is then passed through that formed tunnel and the stud (19) is turned into the test or proposed femoral point of ligament origin. The driver (20) is then pulled out of engagement with the stud (19) exposing the suture (24) that extends from that stud (19), which suture (24) is attached under tension to a tension isometer (25), and the knee (10) is flexed through its full range of motion. With an isometrically correct selection of the femoral and tibial ligament points of origin, the tension isometer (25) will show no more than a three (3) pound change in force and no more than a two (2) mm change in ligament length or distance between the two points of origin over a full range of knee (10) flexure.
