Abstract: A device for measuring breath alcohol has a mouthpiece (1) for picking up the exhaled respiratory gas volume flow of a person to be measured. The mouthpiece has a flow diaphragm (3). A pressure sensor (4) is connected via a first gas line to the mouthpiece (1) upstream of the flow diaphragm (3). A breath alcohol sensor (10) is connected via a inlet channel (6) to the mouthpiece (1) downstream of the flow diaphragm (3) and via a second gas line (11) to a sampling system (7, 8, 9) for a respiratory gas sample from the respiratory gas volume flow. An evaluation and control unit (5) receives the measured signals of the pressure sensor (4) and of the breath alcohol sensor (10) and actuates the sampling system (7, 8, 9). The sampling system (7, 8, 9) is designed such that two respiratory gas samples are fed, in a time sequence, into the breath alcohol sensor (10), whereby the volume of the first respiratory gas sample is at most 40% of the volume of the second one.

Abstract: A device is provided for mounting a pedal lever (1) of a motor vehicle, which is accommodated in a housing (3) pivotably around at least one bearing element (2). At least one section of a separating wedge (5) is supported via a support surface (4) against a motor vehicle component (7) and brings about the shearing off of the bearing element (2) due to the action of an external force caused by an accident due to a relative movement between the separating wedge (5) and the bearing element (2) by applying a shearing force. The separating wedge (5) is accommodated between a surface of the housing (3) and the bearing element (2).

Abstract: The combination needle is intended for peripheral nerve block. It comprises a plastic cannula (1) and an essentially cylindrical, solid steel mandrel (10), which is provided with a pricking tip, which is free from a cutting edge, and with a grip part (11), which has an electric plug contact (21) for the connection of an electrostimulator. The steel mandrel (10) can be introduced into the cannula (1) such that its pricking tip (42) protrudes from the front end of the cannula or is at least flush with same. It shall be achieved with the present invention that the two [“bei der die beiden” in German original should read “die beiden”—Tr.Ed.] electrodes necessary for the electrostimulation are located at a very short distance from one another and the electric effects of the stimulation is [sic—Tr.Ed.] limited to the body area where the stimulation shall take place. The steel mandrel (10) therefore has a two-pole design and is provided with a two-pole electric plug contact means (21, 37).

Abstract: A device for mounting a pedal lever (1) of a motor vehicle, which is accommodated in a housing (3) pivotably around at least one severable bearing element (2). A separating wedge (5), is supported on one side against a motor vehicle component (7). The separating wedge (5) is arranged facing the bearing element (2) with at least one cutting edge (4) provided at the separating wedge (5). As such the bearing element (2) is shorn off by the separating wedge (5) as a consequence of the action of an external force, which may be caused, e.g., by an accident, due to a relative movement between the separating wedge (5) and the bearing element (2).

Abstract: The spectrometer comprises at least a first optical path for a beam of electromagnetic radiation, along which the following are set: a beam-entry slit (1) for an incoming beam; a collimator (5) comprising a convergent spherical mirror for collimation of the incoming beam; a first dispersor (9) for dispersion of the beam into its chromatic components; a first focusing system (19); and a first detector (21) which receives the beam dispersed and focused by said first focusing system. Set along the first optical path there is set at least one first aspherical corrector element (7; 17) comprising an aspherical mirror for correction of spherical aberration.

Abstract: An assembly unit for a motor vehicle is provided with a lever arm arranged in a bearing block pivotably around an axis on a bolt fixed in mounts of the bearing block. The bearing block has at least one section opening or expanding in case of an accident as a consequence of force acting on the assembly unit. The bolt disengages the mounts as a consequence of the acting force. After the assembly of the assembly unit, the bolt, which has an at least two-part design, has at least one connection area, on which the individual bolt parts are engaged with one another in a positive-locking and nonpositive manner.
