Abstract: A method for producing a stabilizer composition for a polymer and a stabilizer composition produced by the method. At least one carboxylic acid is reacted with at least one metal compound, such as at least one metal hydroxide and/or at least one metal oxide and/or at least one metal carbonate, thereby forming a metal carboxylate of the carboxylic acid. The reaction of the carboxylic acid with the metal compound is carried out in a continuous manner in an extruder while reaction water being formed is discharged out of the extruder.

Abstract: The invention relates to an implant, a therapeutic agent, the use of micelles, which are formed from both surfactants as well as active substance molecules, and to a micelle. In order to achieve a defined delivery behavior through pores of a diffusion element, the active substance molecules are covered with surfactants.

Abstract: A micro electronic component, preferably in the form of an electronic memory, includes the use of clusters as an electronic memory. Also disclosed as part of the present invention is a method for fabricating a micro electronic component. The present invention contemplates fabrication of an especially compact electronic memory that works especially with single-electron transistors or single-electronic transfers. According to the present invention, clusters with a metallic cluster nucleus are arranged in parallel grooves essentially in lines or rows and are connected individually to first and second connecting electrodes, such that individually the clusters can be electrically modified or polled independently of each other.

Abstract: A safety system ignition device (1) having an igniter housing (3), an open housing (9), and an ignition element (2) with a; least two contact lugs (7 and 9) that are positioned in the open housing (9). Disposed from and into the ignition housing are at least two connecting leads (4 and 5) that arc connected to conductors (10) that also arc connected to contact lugs (7 and 8). The open housing is positioned in the igniter housing.

Abstract: An ignition device for a safety system such as an air bag or seat belt tightener for a motor vehicle having an ignition element and associated EMC protection means. The EMC protection means may comprise an EMC suppression comprising a ferrite core, which is encapsulated resistant to pressure. Encapsulation in a pot-like housing or between two half shells, with or without an intermediate coating, aids pressure resistance. Terminal means, such as terminal contacts or lugs, extends through the encapsulation to operatively connect the ignition element and the system's controls.

Abstract: An ignition device for triggering a restraining device of a motor vehicle has a MID support having a forward end and a rearward end. Electronic components are mounted on the MID support. An ignitor is arranged at the forward end of the MID support. The MID support has at least one unitary connector pin having at least one metallized area configured to contact the electronic components.

Abstract: An ignition device (1) for a safety system, especially an air bag or a safety seat belt tightener of a motor vehicle, with an ignition element (2) which can be ignited through connecting means, especially connecting conductors (4, 5), is improved in regard to its automatable manufacture and enhanced reliability of operation in that the ignition element (2) is disposed and preinstalled with the connecting means in an igniter housing (3), the igniter housing (3) being insertable into the safety system at an appropriate place.

Abstract: The polybenzoxazole and polybenzothiazole precursors of the invention have the following partial structure: ##STR1## where: A.sup.1 to A.sup.6 are--independently of one another--H, F, CH.sub.3, CF.sub.3, OCH.sub.3, OCF.sub.3, CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, CF.sub.2 CF.sub.3, OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3 or OCF.sub.3 CF.sub.3 ;T is O or S, and m is 1;Z is a carbocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical.

Abstract: In a kitchen appliance (1) comprising a container (2) and a drive unit (9) adapted to be placed onto the container (2) and having a housing (10) which accommodates a motor (21) of the drive unit (9), the housing (10) carries in the area of its housing cover wall an actuator grip (26) for actuating a retaining device (40) arranged in the housing (10) and, by moving the actuator grip (26) from a rest position into an operating position, the retaining device can be set from a disengaged position into a retaining position in which the drive unit (9) and the container (2) are coupled to one another so as to form a firmly coupled assembly with the aid of the retaining device (40).

Abstract: The invention relates to a depilation apparatus, in which a driving roller (3) and a drive roller (4) are provided with tooth means (5, 6) and form a roller pair, the rollers performing a rotary movement which is directed into the interior of the apparatus at the location where they interengage circumferentially. The driven roller (4) of each roller pair has teeth (5) along its entire circumference but the driving roller (3) has teeth only along part of its circumference, so that the rollers intermesh only during part of a revolution of the driving roller.

Abstract: A system for injecting fuel into the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine, comprising an injection nozzle and a glow coil which is connected downstream and is enclosed by a sleeve. The sleeve contacts one end of the glow coil on the combustion chamber side and is connected with a current lead. The other end of the glow coil is grounded via a contact ring body, a heat protecting ring and the nozzle body of the injection mozzle. This arrangement has the advantage that an insulation of the contact ring body relative to the heat protection ring is dispensed with and the latter can be supported immediately at the contact ring body.

An electric motor having an essentially-cylindrical housing has one end of the motor housing connected to the stationary base part of the swinging bridge, the drive shaft of the motor extending through the aperture in the base part into the output part of the swinging bridge. An eccentric on the drive shaft drives the output part. A frame-like motor support has a transverse U-shape, one end of such support being connected to the stationary base part of the swinging bridge.
