The first object of the new innovation is both to improve and regulate the production conditions for skin-core type polyolefin fibers so that the product fibers have better physical characteristics than before. The second object of the innovation is to manufacture from the said fibers nonwoven-fabrics with strength and softness characteristics that are better than before. The method is especially ...

Direct-injected, four-cycle internal combustion engines can be operated advantageously with charge stratification, with the fuel being injected into the combustion chamber during the compression stroke of the piston in the cylinder as a conical fuel stream. To ignite the stratified mixture cloud, an igniting spark jumps between the electrodes of a spark plug and thus contacts an ignitable mixture....

A method for determining an initiation threshold value for an automatic braking process, in which an automatic braking process is used and a brake pressure is produced which is greater than the brake pressure which corresponds to the operation of the brake pedal by the driver. Short distances between vehicles increase the risk of accidents. If a driver operates the brakes when there is a short dis...
