Abstract: An armature for a motor-vehicle steering wheel. The hub, spokes, and rim are at least partly made out of a single sheet of metal. The metal is folded at the edge to produce a cross-section in the form of a U or L. The base of the section is essentially perpendicular to the axis of the steering wheel. The sides of the section essentially parallel that axis. The sides of the U or L are provided with an undulation as viewed longitudinally, that is almost non-existent in the vicinity of the base, and that increases continuously to a maximum as it approaches the edge.

Abstract: An apparatus for the dimensionally accurate cutting of a product carrier (1) which is in the form of a strip, is transported further in a cyclic or continuous manner in the longitudinal direction and has cells which are arranged one behind the other and are sealed in an airtight manner comprises a rotating cutter roller (15), which severs the product carrier (1) in each case in the region of a sealing web (4) which is situated between two cells (2), is arranged transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction and is provided with a lattice-like embossing (19). In order to identify and localise the sealing web (4), an optical reflection sensor (6) is arranged above and/or below the product carrier (1) and generates an AC voltage signal which corresponds to the lattice structure when the sealing web (4) is located in the region of the reflection sensor (6), the number of periods being a measure of the width b of the sealing web (4).

Abstract: A covering for an airbag module accommodated in the door lining and/or in the instrument panel of a vehicle. The covering has a main part of plastic comprising an airbag-attaching component and an airbag-covering component. The airbag-covering component can optionally be covered with expanded plastic. The module has a cover of real or imitation leather. There is at least one area in the form of a flap that can be ripped open in the vicinity of the airbag-covering component. The rip-open area is demarcated by a break-open line, constituted by a weakening of the material and by a hinging line. The covering is characterized by a groove-like outer depression along the break-open line that extends over the whole width of the covering and in that the cover is forced into the depression, doubling the material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a gentle process for homogenizing fatty liquid natural products, particularly for homogenizing milk or cream products, e.g. cow's milk, sheep's milk or goat's milk, with a fat content of up to 50 wt. %.

Abstract: The invention relates to a complex compound having at least one transition metal atom, characterized in that said complex compound contains at least one pentalene or substituted pentalene ligand which is coordinated to only one single metal atom.

Abstract: A process in which a dye film is cast, the film is peeled off from the substrate and stretched monoaxially, the stretched film is applied to a glass film, and the resultant laminate is conditioned at elevated temperature gives composite materials which are highly suitable for the production of optoelectronic instruments.

Abstract: Pancreatic islet cell antigens (ICA) that bind with antibodies found in the sera of patients afflicted with insulin-dependent (Type I) diabetes mellitus (IDDM). ICA proteins are expressed by recombinant cloning vehicles comprising DNA inserts isolated from islet cells. Full sequence native ICA proteins, or protein or peptide fragments thereof, can be used in the diagnosis of IDDM and in detecting or blocking human immunoglobulin, T-cells, or B-cells involved in IDDM.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the general formula (I), ##STR1## in which the radicals have the meaning given in the description, to processes for their preparation and to their use as medicaments.

Abstract: In the process for the agglomeration of slightly soluble and hydrolytically sensitive substances, a powder of the slightly soluble substance is conducted, together with at least one water-soluble binder, in free fall through a steam atmosphere at temperatures between 85.degree. C. and 105.degree. C. essentially without the action of compacting forces. In this process, the residence time in the steam atmosphere is approximately 0.5 to 10 seconds. The agglomerates formed are then dried in free fall, so that small solid bridges form from the binder liquid bridges formed at the points of contact between the primary particles. In a following integrated fluidized-bed dryer, the final drying then takes place to a water content of less than 0.5% by weight. The process is carried out in a steam jet agglomerator in which a freely falling product curtain of the pulverulent mixture to be agglomerated is impinged by steam using steam jet nozzles (5, 6).
