Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases from combustion engines, in particular from internal combustion engines. The device according to the invention and the method are intended to be of simple construction, should be inexpensive to produce and operate and should have less adverse effect on the flow conditions in the exhaust gas stream. To achieve this object, at least one region which is filled with beads is provided in the exhaust-gas stream, the beads preferably being hollow beads. The exhaust gas from the combustion engine is passed through this region, and it is possible to achieve particle agglomeration with simultaneous separation of these particles. In addition, further regions which are filled with metal fibers may follow the at least one region filled with beads, and the exhaust gas is additionally passed through these further regions.

Abstract: Phenol is separated from a mixture containing hydroxyacetone, cumene, water and phenol, by fractionating the mixture in a process with a fractional distillation step and a phase separation step to provide a single phenol fraction containing less than 300 ppm of hydroxyacetone. In the work-up by distillation of cleavage product mixtures, the hydroxyacetone can be removed from the cleavage product mixture together with a phenol fraction from which the hydroxyacetone has to be removed. A process can be used for purifying cleavage product mixtures obtained in the cleavage of alkylaryl hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide. The process allows separation of phenol and acetone from mixtures obtained in the cleavage of cumene hydroperoxide.

Abstract: A drive unit for a liquid ejection head in which shrinkage of a pressure chamber and ejection of the liquid are caused by the application of a voltage to a piezoelectric body, wherein: (A) a drive pulse with an electric field exceeding the coercive electric field of the piezoelectric body is applied to the piezoelectric body during the liquid ejection operation such as printing, and (B) a pulse that eliminates polarization remaining in the piezoelectric body is applied to the piezoelectric body when no liquid ejection operation is conducted. As a result, a difference between the elements can be prevented even as time elapses, and a stable ejection characteristic can be obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a planar inductive component (11) comprising at least a first and a second concentric inductor, which include a first and a second spiral pattern (12A, 12B), respectively. Both spiral patterns have a first end point (13A, 13B) and a second end point (14A, 14B), are electrically interconnected, interlaced, and interrupted at the outer side, and provided with two contacts (16A, 16B) on one side of the opening (15A, 15B) and two contacts (17A, 17B) on the other side of the opening (15A, 15B). By interconnecting the first two contacts (16A, 16B) and the second two contacts (17A, 17B), respectively, both spiral patterns are connected in parallel. The spiral patterns (12A, 12B), which are magnetically coupled, have identical electrical and magnetic properties. This leads to a reduction of eddy current losses at high frequencies. This results in a planar inductive component (11) which is suitable for high-frequency operation with a high maximum quality factor Q. The invention also relates to a planar transformer comprising two planar inductive components according to the invention. The first planar inductive component serves as the first winding of the planar transformer; the second planar inductive component serves as the second winding of the planar transformer. As a result of the above-mentioned reduction in eddy current losses at high frequencies, the planar transformer can suitable be used for high-frequency operation.
