Abstract: The invention relates to a metal matrix material made of a hydrogen-permeable metal 1 and a chemically stable metal 2 that is also hydrogen permeable, said matrix material having a structure comprised of a plurality of centers made of the metal 2 surrounded by the metal 1. The invention further relates to a method for the production of said matrix material, having the following steps: a. optionally pretreating the metal 1 and/or 2 b. coating metal 1 with a metal 2 to form a composite metal powder c. pressing the composite metal powder into the metal matrix material according to the invention in the form of a pressed body d. optionally deforming the pressed body thus obtained to form a molded body. The metal matrix material has a greater mechanical stability as compared to a conventionally coated metal film by virtue of a more homogeneous stress distribution during the change in volume of the metal phases as a result of hydrogen absorption and thermal expansion.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for identifying an interaction partner of an active agent, comprising the following steps: (a) providing an element library comprising a plurality of elements, (b) contacting the element library with a preparation comprising an interaction partner under conditions allowing for formation of a complex consisting of a binding element of the element library binding to the interaction partner and the interaction partner, whereupon a complex comprising the binding element and the interaction partner is formed, (c) removing non-binding elements of the element library from the complex formed in step (b), (d) contacting the complex formed in step (b) with the active agent, whereby the binding element is released from said complex, (e) contacting the binding element released in step (d) with a preparation comprising the interaction partner, whereupon a complex is formed comprising the binding element released in step (d) and the interaction partner, and (f) characterising

Abstract: The invention relates to the novel use of known active substance combinations which consist firstly of 3,4-dichloro-2?-cyano-1,2-thiazole-5-carboxanilide, of the formula which is known, and secondly further known insecticidal active substances, for controlling animal pests, especially arthropods, in particular insects.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a segmented roof for a motor vehicle comprising a plurality of segments which are connected to one another in a cohesively bonded and/or interlocking manner, are guided laterally in guide rails by means of pins and are movable between a closed position, in which the segments are closely contiguous to one another, and an open position, in which the segments are pushed together and folded in a roof region, characterized in that, apart from the last segment [10], each segment [8] has two opposite sides A and two opposite sides B, and the segments are connected to one another along the sides B, and each side A has two pins [4], [5], one subset of the pins [4] being differently dimensioned from the other subset of the pins [5], two pins located on one side A being differently dimensioned, and two opposite pins on the opposite sides A of a segment each being identically dimensioned.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of wheat flour for reducing baking losses. The wheat flour can comprise genetically or chemically phosphorylated starch.

Abstract: Continuous method for the esterification of free fatty acids in plant and animal fats with alcohols using a heterogenic acid catalyst.

Abstract: An optical waveguiding optical format enables consistent optical analysis of small sample volumes with minimal variation in light path length among optical formats. The optical format is comprised of an input guide, an output guide, and a sample cavity adapted to allow light to pass through a sample on its way from the input guide to the output guide. A lid removed from the light pathway within the format may be provided with a reagent for assisting fluid analysis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to flame-protected impact-modified polycarbonate compositions, wherein the compositions are free of rubber-free polyalkyl (alkyl)acrylate. The present invention further relates to the use of the polycarbonate compositions in the production of moulded bodies, and to the moulded bodies themselves.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle roof which comprises an opening, a foldable arrangement (3) and a device for accommodating said foldable arrangement (3), the foldable arrangement (3) comprising at least two parallel plastic segments (1). The foldable arrangement (3) can be transferred to a corresponding device (4) while being folded, thereby at least partly releasing the opening, and the foldable arrangement (3) completely closes the opening in the closed position. The segments (1), when in the closed position, are curved due to deformation and are substantially flat and plane-parallel when at least partly releasing the opening.

Abstract: This invention relates to transgenic winter oilseed rape (WOSR) plants, plant material and seeds, harboring a specific transformation event. It pertains to winter oilseed rape plants, more particularly to a pair of winter oilseed rape plants, which is particularly suited for the production of hybrid seed. More specifically, one plant is characterized by being male-sterile, due to the presence in its genome of a male sterility gene, while the other is characterized by carrying a fertility-restorer gene, capable of preventing the activity of the male-sterility gene. The invention further provides a method for producing hybrid seed, a process for producing a transgenic WOSR plant oil or plant, and a method to identify a transgenic plant, cell or tissue. A kit for identifying the transgenic plants comparing the elite event of the present invention is also described.
