Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for supplying current to a glow plug in a running diesel engine after reaching the operating temperature thereof by a series of current pulses, wherein a piston of the engine carries out a work cycle comprising several strokes and the glow plug is supplied with current as a function of the strokes of the work cycle such that the electric current supplied in each work cycle is mainly supplied at a predetermined, steady stroke of the piston, wherein control time intervals that follow each other are defined, during which up to two switching processes can be triggered by a control device, by which the glow plug can be connected to a voltage source for creating a current pulse or can be disconnected from the voltage source for ending a current pulse. According to the invention, the control time intervals have a duration that can be varied by the control device as a function of the rotational speed of the engine.

Abstract:
3-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimido)cinnamic esters I ##STR1## (R.sup.1 =H, halogen; R.sup.2, R.sup.3 =halogen; R.sup.4 =C-organic radical, R.sup.5 =H, CH.sub.3) are prepared by reducing 3-nitrocinnamic esters II ##STR2## with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst and condensing the resulting 3-aminocinnamic esters III ##STR3## with a 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride IV ##STR4## and are valuable active ingredients in crop protection.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for measuring the electrical resistance of a glow plug, wherein a test current is set by closed-loop control to a constant value using a constant-current source, and is directed through the plug. A value of the electrical resistance of the glow plug is determined by evaluating a feedback signal of the constant-current source.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a diesel fuel filter heater comprising at least one PTC element, in a motor vehicle. According to the invention, a glow plug control device is used to generate an effective voltage from a vehicle system voltage using pulse width modulation, which is then applied at the filter heater.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an electric toothbrush (1) comprising a handle part (2) and an attachment part (3), e.g. a bristle head (4). Preferably, the bristle head (4) can be driven by a first drive unit (6.1) encompassing a first electric motor (7.1). A reservoir (8.1) for a care substance is connected to a duct (11.1) extending into the bristle head (4) by means of a pump (10.1) which can be driven by a second drive unit (6.2) encompassing a second electric motor (7.2). The first and the second electric motor (7.1, 7.2) are powered by a disposable or a rechargeable battery (12). A housing (16) of the handle part (2) is subdivided into a first and a second chamber (19, 20) by means of a liquid-tight partition (17) that extends in the longitudinal direction of the handle part (2). The first and the second drive unit (6.1, 6.2) and the disposable or rechargeable battery (12) are arranged in the first chamber (19) while the reservoir (8.1) and the pump (10.1) are disposed in the second chamber (20). The pump (10.1) can be driven by the second drive unit (6.1) via a lever (15), pumping movements (A′-B′) being transmitted from the lever (15) to the pump (10.1) via an integrated soft membrane (18) of the partition (17) by means of non-positive contact or via a liquid-tight slide passage (21) in the partition (17).
