Abstract: This homogenized, multilayer sandwich structure has a total bending stiffness. The structure has two external skins each of a material having a modulus, a thickness and a width with contribution to the total moment of inertia. The structure also has a core of a foam material sandwiched between the two external skins, wherein the core has a modulus, a thickness and a width with contribution to the total moment of inertia. The external skins are fixed to the core, the strength of the structure being dependent on the core thickness via cubic power, as well as on the placement of the layers within the structure.

Abstract: [TASK] To provide an lower body structure for automobile highly strong against a seat belt load that acts from a seat belt anchor joined to the floor of a cabin compartment rear portion.  [MEANS OF SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A, tank bracket 4 for supporting a fuel tank N    is disposed on the underside of the floor 1 of the cabin compartment rear portion, to which the seat belt anchor 3 is joined. The tank bracket 4, having a substantially inverse hat-shape cross section, forms a closed cross section together with the floor 1. At the rear end, a rear edge flange 43 of a side wall 41 is joined to the front face of a floor cross member 2, and a joint flange 44 that extends from the rear end of a bottom wall 40 is joined to the lower face of the floor cross member 2, thereby to enhance the joining force to the floor cross member 4. In the bracket 4, beads 45 and 46 are formed extending in the width direction of the bracket 4, so that the beads 45, 46 deform to spread in the front-rear direction, when the vehicle decelerates abruptly and the seat belt load G acts, and to absorb the load G thereby.  As a result, the joint of the seat belt anchor 3 to the floor 1 is not displaced on account of the load G.   [SELECTED DRAWING] FIG. 1

Abstract: A method and apparatus for isolating formation zones preferably with a memory based material formed into an expansion element, with an outer diameter larger than a borehole, adjacent to a radially telescoping perforation element, converting the memory based expansion element to a stable, smaller, run-in diameter, running it into the borehole, then allowing the memory based material to expand and seal against the borehole wall. Expansion can be enhanced by expanding a mandrel on which the expansion element is formed. The expansion element separates two or more groups of outwardly radially telescoping perforation elements, to isolate formation zones and allow the perforation elements to access the isolated zones.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the positioning of operating units of a coal filling cart at the filling openings of a coke oven, wherein a rail-guided coal filling cart is displaced on the oven ceiling of a coke oven and positioned at locations that are predetermined by a machine control for filling the oven chambers, and filling openings are associated with the oven ceiling, and wherein subsequently at least one operating unit of the coal filling cart is led toward the filling openings by means of horizontal biaxial actuating motions. According to the invention, the coordinates of at least one marking affixed to the oven ceiling, having a fixed association with the center line of one filling opening, are detected by means of an optical measuring method in a measuring field predetermined by the measuring method after each positioning of the coal filling cart, and are compared to reference values, which are stored for the markings in the machine control. Deviations between the coordinates measured and the coordinates stored in the machine control are determined for both axial directions. Difference values are then taken into consideration as correction values in the actuating motion of the operating unit. An object
