Abstract: Disclosed is an asymmetrical fastening system comprising (1) a fastener having asymmetrical loosening surfaces and tightening surfaces formed in a single fastening periphery, and (2) a wrench comprising asymmetrical loosening surfaces and tightening surfaces formed in a single fastening periphery, that engage, respectively, the loosening surfaces and tightening surfaces of the fastener. When the wrench engages the fastener and force is applied to the wrench the torque to failure of the system in the loosening direction is greater than the torque to failure in the tightening direction.

Abstract: In a device according to the invention for the automatic charging of processing stations (1) with printing cylinders (9) a number of charging stations (2) is provided, each being designed as input location for entering the printing cylinder (9) into the device, as storing location for storing the printing cylinder (9) before and after processing, and as output location for delivering the printing cylinder (9) from the device after processing. The printing cylinders (9) may each be supplied to the processing station (1) by means of a crane (3) without being required that the operator must wait at the device until the crane has terminated its operation.

Abstract: Front wheels (3) are attached to transmission devices (30) which are mounted to the vehicle body (2) to be rotatable around vertical axes (27), and rotating means (55) are provided between the side of the vehicle body (2) and the transmission devices (30), whereby the front wheels are steered to turn laterally at substantially right angles. An electric motor (40) is attached to the transmission device (30) to be located under the vertical axis (27). A case body (41) of the electric motor (40) is constructed by an outer case part (41A) and a non-loaded side bracket (41B), and a loaded side end portion of the outer case-part (41A) is connected to the transmission device case body (31). The drive shaft (44) is rotatably supported by the non-loaded side bracket (41B) at one end and by the transmission device case body (31) at the other end. A driving portion (34) provided at the other end side of the drive shaft (44) is operatively connected to an axle (28).

Abstract: A transformer core comprises at least one leg and at least one yoke part, wherein the cross section of the leg or the legs regularly multi-edged with more than four edges. The core is made up of rings rolled from strips of constant width, whereby good electrical properties are achieved. The transformer is also easy to manufacture and avoids waste of material.

Abstract: Individually dosed active substance-containing and, in particular, aromatic-containing, film-shaped administration form, rapidly disintegrating upon contact with a liquid, wherein the aromatic is present as an internal, liposoluble phase in the form of liquid droplets distributed within an outer, solid but water-soluble phase, is characterized in that the said outer phase contains: at least 40% (w/w) polyvinyl alcohol 0 to 30% (w/w) of a surface-active substance, and that the constituent amount of the inner phase, relative to the outer phase, is between 0.1 and 30% (w/w), in each case relative to the water-free portions.

Abstract: A topical patch having non-steroid antirheumatic agent as active substance, consisting of a backing layer inert to the active substance, a self-adhesive, active substance-containing matrix layer based on a polyacrylate adhesive, and a protective film to be removed prior to use, is characterized in that a. the non-steroid antirheumatic agent has a free carboxyl group, b. the active substance-containing matrix of the patch consists of a polyacrylate adhesive cross-linked with multivalent metal ions and having free carboxyl groups, and is free of hydroxyl groups, c. the matrix contains a fatty acid as plasticizer and permeation enhancer, and d. the backing layer consists of a material that is elastic in at least one direction.

Abstract: A device, which is preferably designed in the manner of a standing plate for a ski binding or the like, having abutments between which there is a damper unit, preferably hydraulic, which can be uncoupled from an abutment so that it is possible to switch to a state with effective damping and a state without effective damping.
