Abstract: The invention relates to a process for screening antimycotically active substances, in which process essential mycete genes, in particular Saccharomyces cerevisae genes and functionally homologous and/or sequentially homologous mycete genes, are employed as targets. A process for finding antimycotically active substances, wherein essential mycete genes are employed as targets.

Abstract: The active vacuum cleaner nozzle of the invention exhibits a two-part housing having an attached suction pipe connecting socket. The two housing parts are pivotably hinge-connected to each other at their end opposite to the suction pipe connecting socket, the dividing joint between the two housing parts extending at least into the area of the suction pipe connecting socket. On the suction pipe connecting socket, a locking sleeve is disposed such that it can be displaced between a position enabling the housing to be opened and a locking position and such that it can be locked in place.

Abstract: A hydraulic vibration damper or shock absorber with electrical control connections and connector therefor which control a valve arrangement in the vibration damper or shock absorber. The valves, of the valve arrangement, are electrically operated. An electrical feed supplies electricity to a first valve and all other valves receive electrical signals from that first valve.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for printing stamps, which are cut from a strip (2) drawn from a roll (1). The apparatus has an adjustable printer and a common drive for the non-jerky advance of the strip and for operating a cutting mechanism. An eccentrically mounted, reciprocating clutch (17) is provided for the advance and engages with a strip-diving roller (56) operates the cutting mechanism and is connected to a movable blade (22) thereof. The pawl is eccentrically fixed to a rotary driven disk (18), which also carriers a cam (58) for controlling the lever. The printer has adjustable type wheels (24), which are rotatable by a common shaft (31) via friction clutches and for each type wheel there is an independently controllable pawl (33) for arresting the type wheel in a predetermined position.

Abstract: In an apparatus for stamping flat objects of different sizes and thicknesses, particularly postal items, said objects are arranged vertically on a feed table. The objects are individually removed from the latter and successively moved past a stamp and are then conveyed to a depositing table. The supplied and deposited objects are in parallel planes to one another. The feed and depositing tables are successively arranged in a vertical direction to one of these planes. The objects are removed from the feed table at right angles to said direction and are supplied to the depositing table. The objects are placed on the feed table by their leading edge in the transfer direction during individual removal. The conveying path of the object between the feed and depositing tables is horizontal.
