Abstract: The invention relates to a luminescent composition which is based on yttrium oxide sulfide and other oxide sulfides and to which at least one doping agent is added. The inventive composition has a characteristic emission spectrum and can optionally be used along with a reading system that is adjusted to the emission spectrum in order to mark substances or *substance mixtures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring method and a measuring instrument for measuring raw data for determination of a blood parameter, in particular for non-invasive determination of the D-glucose concentration. The measuring device (1) comprises an excitation source (2) for generating electromagnetic radiation, a coupling arrangement (5-8) which is configured to couple in the radiation emitted by the excitation source (2) into a body surface of an object to be measured, and a sensor arrangement (13) which is configured to detect infrared (IR) radiation which is excited by the coupled-in radiation of the excitation source (2) in the body surface. The coupling arrangement (5-8) is configured to couple in the radiation emitted by the excitation source (2) extensively at a plurality of measuring points into the body surface, and the sensor arrangement (13) is configured to detect the IR radiation generated in the body surface at a plurality of measuring points.

Abstract: The invention relates to a luminescent composition comprising a component which can be excited by infrared (IR) radiation and a component which can be excited by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The composition has a characteristic emission spectrum and may optionally be used together with a reading system adapted to the emission spectrum in order to mark substances or mixtures of substances.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ballast which have a high stability and a long service life and to a process for the production of ballast. These ballast are suitable for railway track laying and road construction and dike systems used for example in costal protection. These ballast comprise ballast stones and polyurethane foams based on a reaction mixture of selected polyisocyanates and selected compounds with isocyanate-reactive groups.

Abstract: An information carrier includes information in the form of a hologram. In order to increase protection against copying and/or as a simple recognizable additional security feature of this information carrier, the hologram is the combination of a transmission hologram and a reflection hologram.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a transmission unit comprising a transmission input, a transmission output, at least one first main transmission stage and a second main transmission stage connected in series therewith, and a housing encompassing said first and second main transmission stages in common, at least said first main transmission stage being defined by a gear/shaft carrier provided with at least one shaft and at least two gears, and the thus defined first main transmission stage being replaceably inserted in a reception bore of the housing as a modular unit.

Abstract: Improved gel compounds based on reaction products of polyols and polyisocyanates are characterized in that the polyol component consists of a mixture of a) one or more polyols having hydroxyl values below 112 and b) one or more polyols having hydroxyl values of 112 to 600 and in that the isocyanate index of the reaction mixture is in the range from 15 to 70. They may be used as pressure-distributing elements.
