20100310446 | Carbon and Electrospun Nanostructures - The present invention is directed to the production of nanostructures, e.g., single wall carbon nanotubes (“SWNT”) and/or multi wall carbon nanotubes (“MWNT”), from solutions containing a polymer, such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN). In particular, the invention is directed to the production of nanostructures, for example, SWNT and/or MWNT, from mixtures, e.g., solutions, containing polyacrylonitrile, polyaniline emeraldine base (PANi) or a salt thereof, an iron salt, e.g., iron chloride, and a solvent. In one embodiment, a mixture containing polyacrylonitrile, polyaniline emeraldine base or a salt thereof, an iron salt, e.g., iron chloride, and a solvent is formed and the mixture is electrospun to form nanofibers. In another embodiment, the electrospun nanofibers are then oxidized, e.g., heated in air, and subsequently pyrolyzed to form carbon nanostructures. | 12-09-2010 |

20090309374 | Outside door grip, in particular for vehicles - The invention relates to an outside door grip, in particular for vehicles. The outside door grip exhibits a manually actuated handle, which engages a lock disposed in the door upon actuation. In addition, a pivotable blocking member serving as a mass blockage is furnished, which blocking member is disposed generally in its ineffective disengagement position, wherein the handle remains actuatable, which blocking member moves into an effective blocking position based on the inertia of its mass in case of a crash and thereby blocks the handle. Furthermore means are furnished which take care that the blocking member remains at least so long in its blocking position in case of a crash, until oscillations caused by the crash and acting on the outside door grip and/or the handle, have decayed so far that an effective actuation of the handle by the oscillations is not any longer possible. | 12-17-2009 |

The first module and the second module are coupled together via a coupling member in order to actuate a lock of the lock assembly when the first module, in particular the actuating unit, is actuated in order to initiate the opening and/or closing procedure of the door. A connecting element is arranged between the first module and the second module. The connecting element maintains the distance between the modules relative to one another substantially constant when a force F acts on at least one of the modules. | 12-04-2014 |
20140361556 | DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle includes an operating handle moveably supported on a handle mounting, a mechanical coupling device and a locking device. An acceleration force can move the locking device from a normal operating position, in which an actuation of the operating handle is possible, in a first blocking direction, in which an actuation of the closing assembly via the operating handle and/or the coupling device, is blocked. The locking device also blocks the door handle assembly when long lasting or strongly pronounced oscillations occur as a result of a crash. In that event, the locking device can move from the normal operating position in a second blocking direction, in which an actuation of the closing assembly via the operating handle and/or the coupling device is blocked, wherein the second blocking direction is oriented opposite the first blocking direction. | 12-11-2014 |
