Abstract: The hammer mechanism (1) has a striking piston (3) moving alternately through working strokes and return strokes under the influence of a control valve (5). The control unit is itself influenced by a servo valve (14) with a returning device (17, 17a) which can be in locked position or open position, depending on the setting of the striking piston. When the piston limit setting in the direction of the working stroke (3e) is exceeded, the control valve is changed to the return stroke setting. During the return stroke immediately following, a short stroke line (18) pressurises the control valve in advance into the working stroke position so that the piston only makes a short stroke.

Abstract: The method involves selectively activating and deactivating several Hall elements (HE1,HE2, HE18) of a position transducer. The Hall elements are activated and deactivated in a predefined sequence and an assembly (SP1,SP2,SP18) is associated with each Hall element and is activated to store its output signals (D1,D2,D18). The sequence in which the individual Hall elements are activated is a function of the frequency of the output signals. The Hall element with the highest output signal frequency is inserted into the sequence most often.

Abstract: Lors du moussage de cavités d'éléments constitutifs à paroi double ou multiple, ou lors du revêtement par moussage d'éléments constitutifs munis de surfaces décoratives, effectué pour améliorer l'haptique, il est prévu de procéder au moussage d'une matière à l'état non moussé, introduite ou appliquée par énergie micro-onde. Afin de parvenir à des pertes diélectriques élevées et à un effet thermique réparti de manière homogène et essentiellement limité à la matière expansible, ladite matière est ajustée de manière polaire par adjonctions déterminées, par ex. de suies. Afin d'améliorer la répartition et l'action des micro-ondes, il est prévu d'utiliser des éléments réfléchissants. L'utilisation de ce procédé garantit un moussage complet des cavités et l'obtention de couches d'épaisseur régulière.
