Abstract: The invention relates to a bandage for use on the human or animal body, the bandage comprising a fiber-containing material. At least one longitudinal end of said material is provided with a neatened edge and additionally has a zone that contains an information element. The invention further relates to a method for producing a bandage of the above type.

Abstract: A cylinder head housing for a combustion unit, which forms at least two cylinders arranged in-line, having receiving openings for one outlet valve each, which are assigned to the individual cylinders of the combustion unit, comprising exhaust gas channels, which extend from these outlet valve receiving openings and are merged into an exhaust gas outlet channel, and cooling channels having a roof distribution channel which is connected to an injector cooling channel provided for an arrangement above a cylinder and/or having a manifold distribution channel, which extends along the row of outlet valve receiving openings, the manifold distribution channel being connected to a plurality of manifold network channels running along the exhaust gas channels, which are directly or indirectly connected to a manifold collection channel, which extends along the row of outlet valve receiving openings.

Abstract: A piston for a reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine, having a ring carrier with an outer piston crown and an inner piston crown, and comprising a piston skirt extending from the inner piston crown in the axial direction, the piston skirt having at least one at least partially arcuately formed guide surfaces, the at least one guide surface being disposed in the arcuately formed area at a distance from the ring carrier, which is adjacent in the axial direction, in such a way that a gap results between the ring carrier and the guide surface, the piston skirt and the ring carrier being connected to each other via at least one reinforcing rib, which extends transversely over the inner piston crown.

Abstract: A microcapillary device includes a microcapillary tube. An anode is positioned at a first end of the microcapillary tube. A cathode is positioned at a second end of said microcapillary tube. A plurality of electric field reducing components are spaced apart along a length of the microcapillary tube. The anode and the cathode generate an electric field along the length of the microcapillary tube, and the plurality of electric field reducing components selectively reduce the electric field at spatial intervals along the length of the microcapillary tube.

Abstract: Small particles, of macromolecular size or the like, are separated in a liquid by size by applying electric fields of predetermined distributions in time and space to enhance the Brownian motion of the particles so as to favor motion of particles of a particular size. When the particles are separated by size they can be removed from the region in which they have accumulated and they can be collected by size.
