Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising (i) Nicorandil, and (ii) a lubricant selected from a saturated higher aliphatic acid and its salts and/or a saturated higher alcohol, which is solid at ambient temperature, wherein the lubricant is not micronized; processes for preparing such composition; processes for preparing tablets from such composition; and tablets prepared by such processes.

Abstract: A pick-up device for agricultural harvesting machines for picking up crop material lying on a ground has a pick-up drum which has tines; means selected from the group consisting of conveyor means, cutting means, and both and located adjacent to the pick-up drum in a direction of material flow; a compressing device extending transversely to a direction of travel of the agricultural harvesting machine within a range of action of the pick-up drum, the compressing device includes a first compressing element in the range of action of the pick-up drum and at least one further compressing device outside of the range of action of the pick-up drum, and a further compressing element causing the crop material to be precompressed onto the ground.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for measuring the concentration of hydrogen in a gaseous mixture and in particular in the air constituting, for example, the atmosphere inside a closed premises. This device comprises a sensor in contact with a gaseous mixture, the sensor being linked to calculating and display function. The sensor comprises a catalyst capable of provoking an exothermic reaction with the hydrogen contained in the gaseous mixture, a conducting function fixed to the catalyst for transferring essentially by conduction the thermal energy release by the reaction from the catalyst to a cold point, a function for measuring the temperature T1 of the catalyst and the temperature T2 of the cold point being linked to the function for calculating the value of the molar concentration of hydrogen in a gaseous mixture from the temperature gradient measured T1-T2.
