Abstract

A pyrolytic production method for a silicon-carbon anode, in which the silicon- carbon anode obtained has a low degree of roughness, includes producing a pyrolyzable coating that is then applied to a substrate. The coating consists of a mixture of silicon particles, conductive additives, and a carbon-containing and pyrolyzable component. The silicon- carbon anode material is then produced by pyrolysis. According to a variant of the method, three different fractions of silicon particles are added to the mixture. According to another variant of the method, particles of a defined size are applied to the coating after pyrolysis.

Abstract

A vehicle jack includes a lift element and an operative element. The operative element operates to alter the elevation of the lift element. The vehicle jack also includes an extension element affixed to the lift element. The extension element includes a body with a first tab connected to a bottom of a front side and extending toward a rear side and a second tab connected to a bottom of the rear side and extending toward the front side. The first tab and the second tab define a bottom side positioned atop the lift element. A first attachment element is associated with the first side of the body. A second attachment element is associated with the second side of the body. The first attachment element and the second attachment element secure the body to the lift element, thereby establishing a stable interface between the body and the lift element.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for determining an item of distance information for a vehicle. In the method, a light source (11) of the vehicle (10) is actuated using a modulated signal and light (16), which was emitted by the light source (11) and was reflected from an object (17) in an environment of the vehicle (10), is received. A reception signal is generated as a function of the received light (16) and a correlation signal is generated by correlating the modulated signal with the reception signal. A distance (18) to the object (17) is determined as a function of the correlation signal.

Abstract

4. hand displaceable laser welding gun is configured with an elongated support column extending along a longitudinal axis and made from lightweight material. A support plate is displaceably mounted to the column while supporting thereon an optical head which is provided with beam-guiding optics. The optics is configured to direct a laser beam along a path towards a welding zone through a protective window of the optical head. The laser welding gun further is structured with a first arm mounted to the support plate and extending along a longitudinal axis of the gun diametrically opposite to the optical head. The inner surface of the displaceable arm has an inner surface defining a tunnel which is aligned with the optical head and axially traversed by the laser beam, a first axially flowing stream of pressurized gaseous medium, and a second axially flowing stream of gaseous medium. The second stream, entering the tunnel at a pressure lower than that one of the first stream in response to a pressure gradient generated in the column, does not generate vortexes within the column. The first and second streams exit through the downstream end of the tunnel next to the welding zone. As the streams flow out, they can-y out welding debris flowing within the tunnel before the debris reach the protective window of the optical head.
