Abstract: The invention proposes a switchable roller tappet (1) for transmitting a cam lift to a push rod. According to the invention, the inner and the outer rotation-preventing devices of the tappet are made as a single component (17). This component is arranged in a reception (13) of the inner element (4), which reception also serves to lodge a coupling means (24). A tappet (1) of this type can be economically manufactured.
Abstract: A switchable, hydraulic support element (1) requiring only a small design space is proposed. For achieving this, a bore (16) for a slide (23) is arranged laterally of a pressure piston (10) of a hydraulic clearance compensation element (11) in the inner element (7) and is configured as a pocket bore. This dispenses with the stacked arrangement of the bore in the inner element and the clearance compensation element on top of each other as seen in prior art. At the same time, the slide (23) is installed in a housing (19) that extends in the cylinder head (5).

Abstract: The invention concerns an ammonia-free composition for dyeing keratinous fibers, comprising an oxidant compound, coloring agent precursors and a non-volatile odorless alkalizing agent characterized in that it further comprises: a quaternized copolymer of dimethyldiallyl ammonium and acrylic acid; a quaternized silicone; an acrylic-itaconic copolymer esterified with one or several fatty alcohol's, optionally polyoxyethylenated.
Abstract: A method of making a cage whose crossbars (3) connecting the side rings (1,2) are profiled whereby the rolling elements (5) are retained individually on both sides of the pitch circle by retaining edges (12,13) extending parallel to the axis of the rolling elements wherein by an additional shaping by material displacement after the punching out of the pockets (4), parallel opposing guide surfaces (11) for the rolling elements (5) are formed within the pitch circle between the retaining edges (12,13of the pockets (4) and the retaining edges (12,13) on both sides of the pitch circle are dimensioned so that the distance between them in the peripheral direction is only slightly smaller than the diameter of the rolling elements (5) wherein a defined contact of the rolling elements (5) with the cage is achieved due to the stamp guide surfaces (11) so that the mechanical loading of the cage is insignificant.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for the direct connection of fuel cells to electrolyzers of electrochemical plants producing hydrogen as a by-product. The by-product hydrogen is fed to the fuel cells and the electric energy thereby produced is transferred to the electrolyzers, with the consequent saving of the overall energy consumption. The direct coupling avoids the need for DC/AC converters or voltage adjusters and may be effected either in series or in parallel. In the latter case the fuel cell are assembled in modules, the number and voltage of which is regulated by means of interrupters activated by a computerised control and supervision system. As an alternative, the voltage of the modules may be varied by varying the pressure of the air fed to the fuel cells.
Abstract: Use of zinc protoporphyrin IX and its salts to reduce the number of eosinophils in tissues, particularly for treating hypereosinophilia such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis.
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for the angular adjustment of a camshaft relative to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, particularly a vane-type adjuster (1) comprising a stator (12) that is driven by the crankshaft preferably through a traction element and a drive pinion (11), and a vane rotor (18) that can be pressurized by pressure oil and is rotationally fixed to the camshaft while possessing a means, preferably an axially displaceable fixing pin (37) for effecting a releasable, rotational fixing of the vane rotor. The drawback of oil leakage in common vane-type adjusters is avoided by the fact that all components of the vane-type adjuster (1) that have contact with pressure oil are arranged in an oil-tight housing (2).

Abstract: A synchronous control device according to the present invention completes an origin matching between a master section and a slave section without causing a phase difference even when a deceleration device is employed in the master section or in the slave section so as to perform an accurate synchronous control. The synchronous control device constantly detects the phase of a shaft of a master electric motor by a phase detector of the master electric motor according to the outputs of a master rotary encoder, and the phase of a shaft of the master machine by a phase detector of the shaft of the master machine according to the outputs of a master rotary encoder and an origin detector of the shaft of the master machine.
Abstract: An angular contact ball bearing is configured so that the inner bearing ring (6) comprises two spaced apart points of contact, B and C, and the outer bearing ring comprises one point of contact A, the point of contact C of the inner bearing ring (6) being formed only after a tilting of the inner bearing ring (6). Due to this third point of contact C, a tilting of the inner bearing ring is almost completely prevented.
