Kurbelwellenmechanismus

A connecting rod bearing (1) has a guide (2) with enclosing surfaces (3,4,6,7) that retain a crankshaft funnel (4) such that the crankshaft funnel is movable back and forth along the guide as the funnel rotates. The crankshaft funnel is enclosed by a holder (18) that is further enclosed by a bush (19). The bush rotates with the funnel.

Flexibler Pleuel

The engine has a piston rod (1), which is connectable with a crank shaft at a piston rod head (2), and connectable with a piston at a piston rod lug (3) opposite to the head. Supporting carriers (6, 7) are attached to the head and the lug. The carriers extend axially along a centre axis (X) to each other, and variably spaced with their strikings (8, 9) to each other, so that a gap (11) is formed, which is bridged by a force storage unit (12).

Rheologische Steuerung einer Motorkühlung

The engine is cooled by a rheological fluid which in its passive state has a lower thermal conductivity value than in its activated state. The rheological fluid in its passive state has a thermal conductivity value of about a third with regard to the thermal conductivity value of water, and in its active state has a value of somewhat more than three times the thermal conductivity value of water. The rheological fluid has a base substance of silicone oil and a thermal conductivity value range of 0.2 to 1.88 watts per metre kelvin.

Verfahren zur Entlüftung eines Kurbelgehäuses einer Brennkraftmaschine und Brennkraftmaschine zur Durchführung eines derartigen Verfahrens

The method involves performing load control of an internal combustion engine by a throttle valve provided in a suction line. An exhaust line is provided at a crankcase and is connected with the suction line. An electronically controllable valve (115) is arranged in the exhaust line to control the exhaust flow of the internal combustion engine depending on the operating condition of the internal combustion engine. An independent claim is also included for an internal combustion engine for the execution of a crankcase ventilating method.

Drehschieberventil fuer ein Kraftfahrzeug

The valve has a sealing unit arranged proximate to a rotary body. The sealing unit is arranged with a flexible sealing lip (6) in such a manner that the lip in a closed position of the valve is brought into a position resting against the body by pressurization of a combustion chamber. The sealing unit is provided with an under cut (8), where section of the under cut regions lying near the chamber forms the lip. An independent claim is also included for a method for intake and/or exhaust of gases in an internal combustion engine.

Abgasnachbehandlungssystem mit optimierter Abgasanstroemung

The system has a cylinder with an entry area (3) for supplying exhaust gases and a housing covering a main channel (5) such that a chamber is formed between the housing and the main channel. An additional channel (8) runs transverse to flow direction and tangential to the main channel, so that the gases supplied by the additional channel flows via the main channel in a spiral form to mix with the gases supplied by the main channel.

Vorschlag zur Ergänzung der Bewertung des sommerlichen Wärmeschutzes nach DIN 4108-2 bei Verwaltungsgebäuden: Korrekturwerte für den zulässigen Höchstwert des Sonneneintragskennwertes Szul

In DIN 4108-2 ist ein Nachweis zum sommerlichen Wrmeschutz in Gebuden enthalten, der seit Inkrafttreten der Energieeinsparverordnung (EnEV) 2002 gesetzlich vorgeschrieben ist. Dabei handelt es sich um ein einfaches, parametrisiertes Verfahren, bei dem ein Sonneneintragskennwert S_vorh berechnet und mit dem maximal zulssigen Wert S_zul verglichen wird. Diese Formulierung ist im Ansatz sehr gut, allerdings offensichtlich für Wohngebude entwickelt worden. Im Nichtwohngebudebereich sind dagegen höhere Wrmeeintrge und verminderte Lüftungsmöglichkeiten zu erwarten. Aus diesem Grund ist eine Korrektur des Sonneneintragskennwertes S_zul für Verwaltungsgebude notwendig, die Ermittlung von entsprechenden Korrekturwerten ist Inhalt dieser Veröffentlichung.

The role of religiosity as a coping resource for relatives of critically ill patients in Greece

Critical care hospitalisation is emotionally overwhelming for the relatives of patients. Research has shown that religiosity is an effective coping resource for people with health related problems and has been correlated with better health outcomes. However the processes by which religiosity is utilized and its ejfocts on relatives of critically ill patients have not been adequately explored. This article presents relatives' experiences and processes of religiosity; it is part of a wider grounded theory study on the experiences of critically ill patients'relatives in Greece. T wenty-jive relatives of patients in the intensive care units of three public general district hospitals in Athens, Greece, participated in 19 interviews. Religiosity was found tv be the main source of hope, strength and courage for relatives and was expressed with church/monastery attendance, belief in God, praying. and performing religious rituals. Health care professionals should pay attention and understand these aspects of coping.
