Abstract: A structural unit for a gas exchange valve train of an internal combustion engine is provided. The structural unit includes a support element (8) having a joint head (7) and a valve lever (1) having a joint socket (6) which, together with the joint head, forms a joint for a pivotal mounting of the valve lever on the support element. The structural unit further includes an anti-loss device arranged on the joint, with the anti-loss device having one or more projections (11) extending from the opening of the joint socket while being directed toward the center of the joint socket, which projections retain the valve lever secure against loss on the support element through a positive-engagement behind a recess situated axially adjacent to the joint head. The invention further provides that the projections are configured in one piece with the joint socket.

The valve-drive component (1) has transmission elements (3, 4), which can be connected with a positive fit by coupling elements (8) in the transmission direction, in which force transmission surface sections (16) of the coupling elements (8) can be clamped between force transmission surface sections (20) of the transmission elements (3, 4). Here, at least one of the force transmission surface sections (16, 20) should be provided with a wear protection layer (23). This layer comprises at least one metal-free amorphous hydrocarbon layer with sp2-hybridized and sp3-hybridized carbon.

Abstract: A recommendation network is described. The recommendation network may include, but is not limited to, users or entities (“recommendation sources,”) that explicitly or implicitly recommend, rate or refer items and users or entities that receive recommendations or referrals (“recommendation receivers,”). Users who make recommendations can create multiple recommendation sources, using different recommendation sources for different purposes, by assigning different recommendations to different recommendation sources. The recommendation network allows recommendation receiver to assign relative trust ratings to recommendation sources, the relative trust rating representing the recommendation receiver's confidence that the recommendation source, compared to other recommendation sources, makes recommendations the recommendation receiver considers valuable. The relative trust ratings can be ordinal or cardinal values that can be used by the network algorithm to filter and rank items for the recommendation receiver. The network may rank items for the recommendation receiver based on the number of recommendation source referencing the item and the relative trust rating the recommendation receiver has assigned to those recommendation sources. By ranking items for each recommendation receiver according to the a ranking algorithm that uses the relative trust ratings the recommendation receiver has assigned to those recommendation source, the network allows the recommendation receiver to receive recommendations for items in the form of a ranked list, the items being ranked by the degree they are recommended by the recommendation receiver's trusted recommendation sources. By allowing the recommendation receiver to assign relative trust ratings to different recommendation source, and by ranking and displaying recommendations by the degree to which they are recommended to the recommendation receiver, the network allows users to subscribe to, or receive, recommendations from a limitless number of recommendation sources without being overwhelmed. The network prioritizes the recommendations for an recommendation receiver by the parameters the recommendation receiver establishes, imposing order on a potentially-limitless number of pushed recommendations. According to an embodiment of the invention, a recommendation receiver can be a recommendation source, and can create recommendation sources, for themselves or other recommendation receivers. The recommendation receiver may explicitly or implicitly recommend items as a recommendation source, and can also recommend other recommendation sources, or re-label other recommendation sources, or rate multiple recommendation sources and combine them, to create new recommendation sources. Besides combining multiple recommendation sources to create a new recommendation source, recommendation receivers can create new recommendation sources by restricting the new recommendation source to include only those recommendations, from one or more existing recommendation sources, that share or avoid particular characteristics. The new recommendation sources may in turn be used by the recommendation receiver, or other recommendation receivers. Other recommendation receivers can assign relative trust values to the new recommendation sources. Therefore, by interpreting or reinterpreting received recommendation sources to create new recommendation sources, then by recommending those new recommendation sources, the recommendation receiver provides more information, which helps other recommendation receivers to identify valuable recommendations and information about items.

Abstract: A detector system that contains two inlet port coupled to a photoionization chamber. One inlet port allows for the introduction of a test sample. The test sample may contain contaminants, drugs, explosive, etc. that are to be detected. The other port allows for the simultaneous introduction of a standard sample. The standard sample can be used to calibrate and/or diagnose the detector system. Simultaneous introduction of the standard sample provides for real time calibration/diagnostics of the detector during detection of trace molecules in the test sample. The photoizonizer ionizes the samples which are then directed into a mass detector for detection of trace molecules. The detector system may also include inlet embodiments that allow for vaporization of liquid samples introduced to a low pressure photoionizer.
