Abstract: A muffler assembly (10) for use with internal combustion engines discharging hot exhaust gases. The muffler assembly includes an elongated casing (15) having an inlet opening (12) at one end and an outlet opening (13) at an opposite end. A sound attenuating partition assembly including a conically converging, perforated, dispersion shell (33) and a transverse wall (45) are provided inside the muffler casing (15). The dispersion shell (33) tapers inwardly by an amount resulting a cross sectional area (A3) between the dispersion shell (33) and casing (15) at the transverse wall (45) which is at least equal to the area (A1) of the inlet opening (12). The combined area (A4) of the perforations (46) in the dispersion shell (33) upstream of the transverse wall (45) also is at least about equal to the area (A1) of the inlet opening (12). A perforated retaining shell (17) is provided positioned internally of the casing radially outwardly of the dispersion shell (33). An outer fiberglass layer of material (20) is positioned in the cavity (18) between the casing wall (15) and the retaining shell (17), and an inner ceramic layer of thermally insulating material (21) is positioned in the cavity (18) to thermally insulate the fiberglass layer (20) from the hot exhaust gases.

Abstract: A bead wire (18) for a bead core (6) of a tire, having at least one
portion of its annular extent formed from a material having
characteristics of superelasticity, resulting in increasing deformations
of the bead core (6) when a constant stretching load is applied at
constant temperature. As the load ceases, the bead core (6) recovers
from the deformation. The characteristics of the bead core (6) allow
mounting a tire incorporating the bead core (6) to a rim at ambient
temperature, with intelligent adjustment of the bead core (6) to the
dimensions of the seat of the rim. The bead core (6) increases the
magnitude of an inward contraction stress as its temperature
increases, so that it increases the gripping pressure exerted by the
tire beads on the rim when the tire runs in the deflated state.

Abstract: Data transfer between a secure computer and a number of input/output units occurs via a bus control unit connected to the secure computer and a serial bus system. The bus control unit cyclically activates the input/output units connected to the bus system and transfers multi-bit message to the respective activated input/output unit. In order to produce a data transfer method which enables security/related signals to be transmitted via a non-error-protected bus system, at least one of the input/output units is designed as a security unit. Further, the multi-bit message transferred to the security unit has at least one checkbit. The security unit interprets the transferred multi-bit message as correct only if the checkbit alternates within a predefined monitoring period.
