Abstract: A coupling interconnecting an engine and the impeller (36) of a torque converter in a vehicle powertrain has first (16) and second (18) inertia masses interconnected by a spring and friction isolator (20,22). The coupling is effective to decrease the inertia mass of the engine and to increase the inertia mass of the transmission thereby providing a change in the natural frequency of the vehicle powertrain.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à la préparation de composés contenant des acides aminés, qui possèdent également de nombreux groupes fonctionnels d'acide carboxylique. On utilise ces composés pour former des complexes chélatés d'ions métalliques (II) ou (III) paramagnétiques, lesquels servent d'agents de contraste intraveineux pour produire des images par résonance magnétique de meilleur contraste du coeur, du foie, de l'arbre biliaire et de l'intestin grêle supérieur. Des acides monoaminés et diaminés (et leurs esters carboxyliques, amides carboxyliques et catéchols) de d'EDTA de DTPAet similaires sont préparés. Les complexes d'ions métalliques (II) ou (III) paramagnétiques ainsi formés produisent des effets de contraste associés à T1 dans des images par résonance magnétique.

Abstract: For the production of pinched connections with close-tolerance rivets in any work area and with variable lengths of rivet, requiring a quality of hole suitable for press fits, the pressing in of rivets and a rectilinear rivet-pinching movement, a riveting machine of known type cannot be used. The automatic riveting machine (1) according to the invention consists essentially of a drilling unit (2) with a tool-lubricating device, a rivet transfer unit (3), which consists essentially of a feed tube and of rivet transfer tongs (302) pivotable about a pivot (304) and which is positioned in a fixed manner on the mounting bracket (5), and of a rivet pincher (4) which performs a parallel pinching movement. In addition, a rivet grip for the transfer of the rivet to the rivetting location (9) is inserted in the upper tongs of the rivet pincher. It is, in particular, advantageous here that the riveting machine according to the invention achieves the production of pinched connections with close-tolerance rivets automatically and in any desired working position. Another advantage is that different lengths of rivet can be achieved by virtue of the achievable parallel pinching movement of the rivet pincher. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention starts from an arrangement for coupling the ends of optical waveguides to transmitting or receiving elements having a one-part carrier (substrate) of monocrystalline silicon on whose underside at least one optical waveguide end is fixed in a groove and on whose upper side at least one transmitting or receiving element is provided whose light-emitting or light-receiving surface faces the underside. The optical waveguide is in this case fastened in a V-groove in which a mirror is located as well. A passage is located between the light-emitting or light-receiving surface of the transmitting or receiving element and the mirror. Said passage can be filled with a light-guiding material in such a manner that a light-guiding channel is produced. Such an opto-electrical coupling arrangement is very complex to manufacture since a groove and a passage are provided. In addition, it is necessary to adjust the mirror. The invention specifies an arrangement which is simple to manufacture. In it, the light from the optical waveguide (4) is guided through the Si carrier (1) to the receiving element (20). <IMAGE>
