Abstract: A method for noise reduction in a motor vehicle that has a hybrid drive and includes an internal combustion engine and at least two electric machines including a first electric machine on a front axle of the motor vehicle and a second electric machine on a rear axle of the motor vehicle. The method includes automatically cutting in the at least two electric machines as a function of a required drive torque and an expected noise emission associated with the required drive torque, in a case of sole operation of the internal combustion engine, so as to reduce the load of the internal combustion engine. Torque distribution is carried out variably between the front axle and rear axle of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A roof construction for a motor vehicle has a roll bar and a roof element which, in a closed position, is accommodated between the roll bar and a windshield and, in an open position, is accommodated behind the roll bar and can be shifted from the open position into the closed position and vice versa beyond the roll bar via an opening and closing mechanism. The roof constructing further has a covering which covers the roll bar on the outside in the open position of the roof element and in the closed position of the roof element. Vertical extending side parts of the covering can be shifted relative to the roll bar during the shifting of the roof element. A transverse part of the covering extends substantially in a horizontal direction and is fastened to the roll bar so as not to be able to be shifted relative thereto.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions for the delivery of a hypnotic agent across the oral mucosa. In particular, the compositions devoid of buffer and in the presence of alkaline oxides capable of raising the pH of saliva to a pH greater than about 7.0 thereby facilitate the substantially complete conversion of the hypnotic agent from its ionized to its un-ionized form. As a result, the dose of hypnotic agent is rapidly and efficiently absorbed by the oral mucosa with surprisingly low inter-subject variability. Furthermore, delivery of the hypnotic agent across the oral mucosa advantageously bypasses hepatic first pass metabolism of the drug and avoids enzymatic degradation of the drug within the gastrointestinal tract. Methods for using the compositions of the present invention for treating sleep disorders such as insomnia are also provided.
