Abstract: The electrically heated catalytic converter of the present invention has a substrate, for a catalyst, which is formed as a scroll-like cylindrical laminated assembly. The scroll-like cylindrical laminated assembly is formed by laminating a thin corrugated metal sheet and a thin plain metal sheet and winding the laminated metal sheets together around a center electrode. The outermost layer of the laminated assembly is connected to an outer electrode. The corrugated metal sheet has an insulating coating made of an alumina Al₂O₃, and the plain metal sheet has no insulating coating. Local conductive connections are formed between the thin metal sheets by soldering the thin metal sheets using strips of zirconium solder foils interposed between the layers of the thin metal sheets. Since zirconium has larger reducing capability than aluminum, the alumina in the insulating coating is reduced by zirconium and precipitates at the local conductive connections. Therefore, the plain metal sheet and the corrugated metal sheet are electrically connected at the local conductive connections. The solder foils in the respective layers are arranged in such a manner that a strip of solder foil in one layer overlaps with strips of solder foils in adjoining layers only at its ends, and does not overlap with strips of solder foils in the layers next to the adjoining layers when viewed from the radial direction. Since the solder foils in two adjoining layers overlap only by a small area, electric current flows between the local conductive connections concentrates in the overlapped area when electricity is fed to the electrodes. Therefore, hot spots are formed. The resistances of overall electric paths can be easily adjusted by changing the lengths of the solder strips, i.e., distances between the hot spots. Therefore, the amount of electric current flowing through electric paths can be kept at appropriate level.

Abstract: This vehicle wheel has a single- or multipart rim (10) with an integrally-constructed pneumatic tyre. In the newly-improved structure, the axial ends of the rim, curve upwardly in radial extension (2), forming an air-retaining side section of the tyre. The extensions then curve axially inward, up to the shoulders. Here, the ends lie overlapped by the bracing ply belt (4,5) under the tread (6). Between the ends of the bracing plies and half the tyre height at least, there is a region of lower stiffness, in comparison with the region radially within the half height. Pref. the rim is a fibre reinforced material, pref. a fibre reinforced aluminium alloy or polymer mixture. The fibre density, at least in the radial section between overlap and half tyre height, is smaller than in the region radially inside half tyre height. The curved extension, from start of curvature, continues with essentially constantly reducing stiffness. The cross section may similarly reduce. Extensions are constructed as sidewalls, being coated internally and/or externally with a layer of rubber (7,8). The rim is one piece, and is a flexible homogeneous material, pref. an aluminium alloy, other highly flexible metal, or a flexible plastic. In the outer region of the extension, over the circumference of the tyre, there are radially-distributed, inward-reaching, slot-like recesses. The extension is externally and/or internally coated with airtight material, pref. rubber, also sealing the slots.

Abstract: The meter works on the part-current principle. The exhaust gas enters through a tube (12) and valve (13) vertical to the centre of the measuring tubes (16,17), where it travels in both directions to expansion chambers (18,19), each with an exit to the atmosphere (31). a measuring light-beam (24) is directed through the measuring tubes and the chambers to diaphragm openings (28) and to the measuring heads (23,25). Air rinse channels (21,22) across the beam between the diaphragms and the measuring heads prevent the build-up of soot. The use of a 90 degree connection from the exhaust to two measuring tubes and expansion chambers also ensures accuracy irrespective of the rate at which the gas is being admitted.

Abstract: The invention concerns a communication device interface which is used for optional connection of input lines (E1, ..., E128) assembled to form a plurality of input line groups to at least one output line group (A1, ..., A16), each of the input line groups being connected to a separate interface element (SE) of at least one interface element arrangement (e.g. KA21) with a funnel structure. Each interface element arrangement further comprises a number of outputs corresponding to the number of output lines belonging to the respective output line group. Each of these outputs is connected to one of the output lines belonging to the respective output line group. According to the invention, the respective interface element arrangement (KA21) consists simply of the interface elements (SE) connected to the input line groups. Each of the interface elements has outputs which are individually associated with the output lines belonging to the respective output line group. Only one of the mutually corresponding outputs of these interface elements can thus be optionally connected by switching means to the relevant output line of the respective output line group.
