Abstract: A description is given of the use of at least one compound of the formula I where R1, R2, R3 and R4 independently of one another are H or C1-C6-alkyl; and the use of a compound of the formula I for medical use.

Abstract: A beverage bottling plant for filling bottles with a liquid beverage comprising of a filling machine, a bottle closing station and a labeling station configured and disposed to label filled bottles. The labeling station comprises a label storage magazine configured to hold a plurality of single-sheet labels in a stacked condition, pie-shaped grippers, that extract labels from the storage magazine and directly apply them on the bottles. The grippers are heated prior to applying the labels to the bottles to assist in securing the labels and then the grippers are cooled.

Abstract: A locking device is provided with a locking finger (12), the locking finger (12) being provided with a clearance space (12a).

Abstract: A device for milling and/or lathing workpieces including at least one machine bed, on which there is at least one tool holder and one workpiece spindle as part of a workpiece holder with an axis of rotation, whereby the tool holder has at least one tool drive with an axis of oscillation running parallel to the axis of rotation, whereby the workpiece holder and the tool holder can travel relative to each other in the direction of an axis of translation that runs at a right angle to the axis of oscillation. The workpiece holder has a linear drive that can travel in the direction of the axis of translation.

Abstract: A device for increasing a selection force is integrated into a support arrangement of a shift lever. The device is pivotable around a pivot axis and also around a tilt axis aligned transversely to the pivot axis. The selection force upon pivoting movements of the shift lever around the tilt axis is produced by at least one lever that is movable against a spring and a runoff roller placed in operative connection with the lever (24, 38). The device is integrated into a support arrangement for pivotable support of the shift lever by a casing in a housing. The support arrangement supports the shift lever pivotably with respect to the casing around the pivot axis and also supports the shift lever with the casing pivotably with respect to the housing around the tilt axis aligned transversely to the pivot axis.

Abstract: Compositions are proposed which comprise folic acid in combination with 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, and also compositions which comprise folic acid, 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid and/or 5-methyltetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate and also comprise a dietary component and/or a nutrient preparation, and their use is also proposed.

Abstract: The use of ?-lipoic acid or ?-dihydrolipoic acid for increasing the bioavailability of mineral salts, the use of ?-lipoic acid or ?-dihydrolipoic acid in combination with metal salts, in particular the use of metal ?-lipoates, metal ?-dihydrolipoates or metal-?-lipoic acid complexes, in particular in mineral preparations or drugs and the metal ?-lipoates, metal ?-dihydrolipoates or metal-?-lipoic acid complexes themselves are described.

Abstract: A device for machining a lens which is optically active on two sides includes a cutting and milling unit and/or a polishing unit used to machine at least a first side of the lens. A re-clamping unit is used to re-clamp the lens for machining on a second side of the lens.

Abstract: A shift device for a change-speed gearbox, includes a shift rocker having sidewalls for axially displacing a shift sleeve positively connected to a gear wheel clutch or synchronizing unit. A shift finger is fixedly mounted on a shift shaft and positively engages a shift slot of the shift rocker to operate the shift rocker. The shift rocker is of single-piece configuration and made through a non-cutting process, with a blank being pre-punched from a steel sheet, before the blank is shaped into a finished product by at least one bending operation.

Abstract: A shift rocker for use in a gear shift mechanism, includes a bracket of forked configuration, with the bracket having spaced-apart sidewalls in parallel relation for axially displacing a shift sleeve, and an arched cross member interconnecting the sidewalls. Connected to the cross member of the bracket for introduction of force is a rail which includes, directly or indirectly, a shift slot for engagement of a shift finger in fixed rotative engagement with a shift shaft, a latch contour for a separate stationary shift latching means, and a receiving member for engagement of a locking lever of a locking unit to inhibit a shifting movement of the shift rocker when the shift rocker is inactive.

Abstract: A shift device for a change-speed gearbox, includes a plurality of shift rockers, each shift rocker being supported in a pivot bearing and rotatable by actuating a shift finger, fixedly mounted on a shift shaft. The shift rockers are provided to axially displace respectively connected shift sleeves, whereby a locking unit is operatively connected via locking levers to the shift rockers to lock those shift rockers that are not activated. Each locking lever has one end of curved configuration which terminates in a cylindrical pin for engagement in a recess of the associated shift rocker, wherein the cylindrical pin is captivated within the recess of the shift rocker by impressing boundary regions of the recess.

Abstract: Organosulfur compounds can be used in complexes with carotenoids for effecting a bathochromic shift in the absorption bands of carotenoids in the UV/vis spectrum. Carotenoid formulations comprising these complexes, a process for preparing these formulations and their use in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors are described.
