Abstract: The transport container serves for transporting sterile products, for example caps or stoppers for pharmaceutical purposes, from a sterilization facility to a downstream facility, for example a filling plant. It has two connecting devices which are arranged opposite one another and one of which is equipped with a rapid transfer port for docking the transport container with the downstream facility and the other is a filling device. The rapid transfer port is equipped with a cover which is provided with an opening device for opening the port cover. In addition, the rapid transfer port is preferably provided with a medium outlet through which cleaning and sterilization media can be discharged when the port cover is opened.

Abstract: The invention provides the use as a pesticidal adjuvant of at least one citric acid derivative and compositions containing the derivative, which has a log octanol-water coefficient (log P) of 2.6 to 11 and an equivalent hydrocarbon (EH) value of 29 to 47. The invention has been shown to enhance the efficacy of a range of pesticides.

Abstract: An actuator cylinder for the engagement and release of the friction clutch of a motor vehicle is described. The actuator has a device to indicate clutch engagement position, which is located outside the cylinder. A piston is disposed within the actuator cylinder. The piston has an actuator rod which extends through a cylinder end to operate a clutch. The device to detect the engagement position of the clutch is designed to adjust to the range of movement of the piston, which range of movement changes with clutch wear. The detection device is a displacement transducer. A housing, in which the transducer is mounted, moves as the range of motion of the piston changes with clutch wear. A rod or sensor mounted on the piston both interacts with the transducer to indicate the clutch engagement position and moves the housing of the transducer.

Abstract: To detect the shift position of a motor vehicle transmission (1), the invention teaches that by means of sensors (17), the position of a shift lever (7) which shifts the transmission (1) is measured in the neutral path of a shift pattern of the transmission which corresponds to the neutral position of the transmission (1). The direction of the displacement into the gears which are located in pairs in the shift paths of the transmission is measured by means of shift lever contacts (23), which respond when the shift lever (7) is displaced from the neutral shift position. An evaluation circuit (25), as a function of the signals from the sensors (17) which, in the neutral shift position of the transmission, detect the shift path which has been selected and the signals from the shift lever contacts (23) which detect the direction of displacement, delivers a shift position signal which identifies the shift position instantaneously engaged.
