Abstract: A spring made of a fiber composite includes a metal thread which is connected to the spring and has an electrical resistance which changes in dependence on a deformation of the spring. The metal thread can be integrated inside the spring or may also be arranged on an outer side of the spring.

Abstract: A hydrostatic machine includes a housing and a drive shaft. The housing has an inner housing part, configured to receive a force flow, an outer housing part, configured to seal and damp, and a housing floor. The drive shaft is configured, on an input side, to pass coaxially through the housing floor and is configured, on an output side, to pass coaxially through a swash plate. The drive shaft is connected to a cylinder drum in a rotationally fixed manner. The hydrostatic machine is configured in a weight-saving manner and is configured such that propagation of vibrations in the hydrostatic machine, and noise generation therefrom, are reduced. To this end, the drive shaft is further configured to pass only partially through the inner housing part and is rotatably mounted in the housing floor and the inner housing part.

Abstract: A substrate, such as a glass, glass ceramic, ceramic or metal substrate, is provided with a thermocatalytically active coating on at least a part of the substrate surface. The thermocatalytic coating contains an inorganic lithium salt or organic lithium-containing compound in an amount that is equivalent to not less than 2 wt. % of lithium ions, based on total coating weight. The thermocatalytic coating has a glass, glass solder or sol-gel matrix in which the lithium salt or organic lithium-containing compound is introduced. Optional barrier and IR-reflecting layers are arranged between the substrate surface and the thermocatalytically active coating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions to be administered to infants delivered via caesarean section and in particular to a product comprising inactivated cells and/or bacterial cell fragments of Gram-negative bacteria and of optionally inactivated Gram-positive bacteria. Thereby it is possible to stimulate a fast colonisation of the intestinal microbiota of said infants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for feeding of infants delivered via caesarean section and to compositions to be administered to infants delivered via caesarean section and in particular to the use of a product obtained by fermentation of milk, whey, whey protein, whey protein hydrolysate, casein, casein hydrolysate and/or lactose by lactic acid producing bacteria. Thereby it is possible to stimulate a fast colonisation of the intestinal microbiota of said infants.

Abstract: A control device for a hydraulic piston machine with a variable flow rate averaged over time has a plurality of pistons each defining a working chamber with a changeable value and connectable to high-pressure and low-pressure line via first and second valves actuable in an electric fashion, and an electronic control unit operating the valves in several modes, so that the valves can be operatable only in the partial stroke mode, or in the partial stroke mode and in the idle stroke mode, or in the partial stroke mode and in the full stroke mode, or in the way that all three modes are used on a limited number of working chambers and only the idle stroke and the full stroke modes are used on the remaining working chambers.

Abstract: Neutral straight-chain or branched oligosaccharides for preventing the invasion and infection of mammal cells by pathogens and for fighting diseases caused by such pathogens are disclosed. Food, dietetic products and pharmaceutical agents containing oligosaccharides consist of a base unit of formula (I), and between 0 and 19 other units of formula (II), which are linked directly or indirectly to the base unit. Gal represents a galactose monosaccharide unit; Glc represents a glucose monosaccharide unit; HexNAc rpresents an N-acetylated galactosamine or glucosamine monosaccharide unit (GalNAc or GlcNAc); R independently represent a ? 1-3 or ? 1-6 glycosidic link to HexNAc monosaccharide of the next [Gal-HexNAc] unit (II), and on a terminal [Gal-HexNAc] unit, or R are not present; and a terminal [Gal-HexNAc] unit, wherein R represent a deoxyhexose radical, can have another deoxyhexose radical on the HexNAc monosaccharide unit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for deposition of an anti-reflection layer, in which glass particles are embedded in a titanium oxide containing matrix that is produced by a sol-gel method.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production and use of a gray hue palette for decorative coatings based on a sol-gel method for glass and glass-ceramic articles, wherein flake-form pigments and solid lubricant are used in specific mass ratios as decorative pigments. The pigmentation provides a high-temperature-stable decorative layer, has good adhesive strength between the substrate and the decorative layer, has good impermeability relative to fluids and gases during use, as well as a high resistance to scratching. The invention further relates to glass or glass-ceramic articles with decorative coatings which are produced, in particular, according to the method of the invention, which are suitable particularly for use as glass-ceramic cooktops due to the named good layer properties of the decorative layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a glass or glass-ceramic article, comprising a decorative layer and a sealing layer. The two layers are produced by means of a sol-gel process and contain, in addition, at least fillers and inorganic pigments, wherein it is possible for the pigmentation of the decorative layer and the sealing layer to be the same or else different. In order to achieve a good adhesive strength and impermeability of the decorative coating, certain composition rules in regard to the quantity and kind of inorganic pigments used must be observed and, surprisingly, are different for the sealing layer according to the invention than for the decorative layer. The invention relates, furthermore, to a glass or glass-ceramic article with decorative coatings, produced particularly according to the method of the invention, said article being suitable especially for use as glass-ceramic cooktops.
