Title: Car seat structural guide includes crash-energy absorbing element between slotted link and body part and exposed to torsional load as link swings round in crashes.
Inventor: BOEHMER MICHAEL
IPC: B60N2/42
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: An element (20) between slotted link (10) and body part (18) absorbs energy in crashes and is exposed to a torsional force for this purpose. In a crash, the link swivels round a crosstube which either mounts or contains the element (20). The element is plugged into two sides of the body part (18) so the element is bent round the slotted link (10) between crosstube and body part. The element is plugged into a disk fixed in the center of the crosstube and in addition to this a catcher belt (27) runs between seat and body structure.

Title: Continuous delamination process for plastic masses involves pressing mass through two perforated plates each having channels of defined diameter to length ratio
Inventor: HAENDLE PHILIPP
IPC: B28C1/16

Abstract: The delamination process involves pressing the mass through two plates (3, 5), located one behind the other at a spacing which can be varied. The plates each have a number of channels of defined diameter to length ratio. The shear effect at the edges of the channels and the increase in local flow rate alter the grain structure of the mass as it flows through.

Inventor: LICHTERFELD STEFAN
IPC: H03G3/34
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: In a receiver (100), a receiver unit (110) demodulates a
radio frequency (RF) signal into an audio signal (V AUDIO )
and provides a strength signal (V SSI ). The strength
signal has a magnitude proportional to the field strength
of the RF signal. A mute switch (120) selectively
forwards the audio signal to a speaker (130). An
analyzer (140) identifies a first event when the change
rate of the magnitude of the strength signal is larger
than a predetermined threshold change rate and identifies
a second event when the magnitude of the strength signal
goes below a predetermined threshold signal. The mute
switch opens when both events occur simultaneously and
thereby prevents the speaker from outputting unwanted
demodulator noise.
