According to the U.S. government, U.S. companies lose over one billion dollars each year to piracy alone. Other forms of IP infringement, such as the illegal inclusion of U.S. proprietary technology in Chinese goods, are equally, if not more damaging. Therefore, IP protection is pivotal to successfully doing business in China.

PP INTAKE MANIFOLD REDUCES COST AND WEIGHT BY 15% With intake manifolds made of polypropylene, Röchling Automotive has set new benchmarks in terms of cost, weight and acoustics. These three criteria have improved due to the lower density of polypropylene compared with polyamide, the material currently most widely used for intake manifolds. At the same time, PP offers sufficient sturdiness. Two reference engines by VW are the one-litre three-cylinder petrol engine in Brazil and Europe and the 1.6 litre four-cylinder petrol engine in China.

Röchling coolant expansion container for GM fuel cell car Röchling Automotive supplies from its South Tirol plant fuel cell cars all over the world with expansion containers. Here the separation of gases and fluids as well as the management of bursting pressure require new measurements. Other specification criteria are met with state of the art container construction. The containers represent real high tech products with multi chamber system, several safety valves and safety caps as well as a ion filter. The fuel cell principle depends on a coolant without any conductivity. Therefore the ions must be filtered out of the fluid. The container is a system relevant component for flawless operation of a fuel cell. Thus the electric level indicator must not be disturbed by electromagnetic fields. Comparable specifications also apply for pure battery electric cars.

Muth, a lifelong automotive enthusiast, served as leader of the company since 1965 when he joined the company his father, Kenneth Muth, founded in 1947 as K. W. Muth Company. Under Mike’s leadership the company focused on automotive safety products. Mike was instrumental in bringing the Signal® Mirror safety system to market and oversaw the engineering, patenting process, and current production for both the original equipment and aftermarket industries. Another division of the company, Muth Global Visions, is working on Muth Vision Assist, a night vision system that allows drivers to see more clearly in all weather conditions.

For engineers combating vibrational loosening, axial-torsional loading, joint fatigue, and thermal extremes, conventional fastening methods involving standard 60 degree threads have posed design limitations for too long and proven solutions, backed by test data, have been relatively nonexistent.

Burning Fuel and Holes in Your Wallet: A Consumer´s Guide to Variable Fuel Costs Authors: Emily Claeys Materials Engineer, DaimlerChrysler Corporation Andrew Stolen Product Engineer, Peiker Acoustic Abstract Increasing fuel costs is, without a doubt, a key frustration for those who drive automobiles on a daily basis. Moreover, owners of vehicles with low fuel efficiency suffer the greatest impact. Recent surveys suggest rising gas prices are a major factor in car-buying decisions. This has become reality for the Full-Size SUV market, where sales have declined 14% from February 2005 to February 2006. Although automakers have recognized an increase in sales for a certain truck and SUV models, the overall market decline has led to the introduction of a variety of hybrid gas/electric vehicles. While hybrid gas/electric vehicles have higher fuel efficiency, other costs must be considered. Additionally, some automakers have introduced marketing campaigns for flex-fuel vehicles, or those with the ability to run on ethanol based fuel. As global oil demand increases and political turmoil continues, fuel economy will remain a major issue to consumers and force important vehicle decisions going forward.
