The invention relates to a jaw-iron of a ski binding and it is to be achieved with simple constructional means that increased friction forces are compensated in the case of a continuous turning, backward or forward fall. For this purpose, a sole hold-down, which is swivellable about a transverse axle, rests against an abutment of the triggering system and is connected by control surfaces along its...

A safety ski binding having a jaw for holding a boot on a ski and permitting lateral release of the boot, an elastic system for biasing the jaw longitudinally forward against lateral pivoting, and a mechanism for compensating for the additional bias against lateral pivoting arising from friction between the boot and the ski during a forward fall. The compensation means includes a sensor which prod...

In a slip-controlled system for road vehicles with all-wheel drive, the rear-axle differential gear (5) and/or the intermediate differential (3) are equipped with differential locks (33, 34). An electronic brake slip control unit (50) automatically disengages the differential locks (33, 34) partially or entirely upon the occurrence of an imminent locked condition or upon commencement of brake slip...

Agricultural bast-waste with silicic acid content, mainly rice-hull, is used as basic material. It is first fiberized, and may be dewaxed. Filling material, e.g. perlite or rice- straw or asbestos, and binding material as for instance two-component synthetic resin-based adhesive are added to the fiberized rice-hull, and these are mixed to homogeneous mixture. The so-obtained mixture is cold or hot...
