Abstract: The present invention relates to polymorphs and solvates of the hydrochloride salt of 4-[2-[[5-methyl-1-(2-naphthalenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]ethyl]morpholine (P027), processes for their preparation, and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a hybrid vehicle (1) having an internal combustion engine (2), an electric machine (4) and having a regenerable filter device that absorbs fuel vapors from a fuel tank of the internal combustion engine. To improve the reproducible operation of a hybrid vehicle with an internal combustion engine and an electric machine, in a purely electric driving mode in which the hybrid vehicle (1) is driven only by the electric machine (4), the regenerable filter device is rinsed by switching on the internal combustion engine (2) with a scavenging strategy that is dependent on the velocity of the hybrid vehicle (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing naphthalen-2-yl-pyrazol-3-one intermediates, tautomers, and salts thereof, to novel intermediates, and to the use of the intermediates in the preparation of sigma receptor inhibitors.

Abstract: A display device of a motor vehicle, on which a map corresponding to a current vehicle position can be displayed in a display mode under the control of a navigation device, wherein a racetrack on which the motor vehicle is operated can be displayed on the display device in a further display mode.

Abstract: A brake device for a motor vehicle has a brake pedal device (12) that can be operated by a driver with a variable force/travel pedal characteristic curve (V-PKL), a brake apparatus (20) for braking the motor vehicle with a braking effect corresponding to a degree of activation of the brake pedal device (12) and corresponding to the varible force/travel pedal characteristic curve (V-PKL), a memory device (16) with a stored characteristic diagram (KFL) of possible force/travel pedal characteristic curves and with a control device (14) for selecting the variable force/travel pedal characteristic curve (V-PKL) from the characteristic diagram (KFL) of the possible force/travel pedal characteristic curves.

Abstract: An electrical or electronic component (3) of a motor vehicle is mounted in an engine compartment of the motor vehicle by suspending the component (3) from a suspension cross-brace (1) and connecting the component (3) on a motor vehicle splashboard that separates the engine compartment from a passenger compartment. Such a mount permits a relatively heavy and relatively large electrical or electronic component to be accommodated in the engine compartment and securely mounted there.

Abstract: A toe extroversion correction device includes a support portion integrally formed and made of a soft material, a first toe sheath portion disposed on a lateral side of the support portion, a second toe sheath portion disposed on another lateral side of the support portion, and a protection pad portion protruded from a lateral side of the first toe sheath portion, such that the first toe sheath portion is sheathed on big toe, and the second toe sheath portion is sheathed on the second toe, and the support portion is clipped between the big toe and the second toe to produce an action force to push away the big toe, and the protection pad portion can be attached onto an internal side of a first toe joint of the big toe to prevent the protruding first toe joint of the extroverted big toe from being rubbed with a shoe.

Abstract: In a regulating system and method of regulating the chassis of a motor vehicle, sensor data which are present for regulating the suspension and the damping of a vehicle body vehicle and describe the suspension state are forwarded to the regulating module of an antilock brake system. A state of the motor vehicle with regard to a brow situation can be determined from the sensor data. The sensor data or the state with regard to the brow situation are/is taken into consideration in the regulating module of the antilock brake system when determining control signals for regulating the brake pressure in brake apparatuses which are assigned to the wheels, in particular in the brake cylinders. This increases the driving safety considerably when driving over a brow and immediately after driving over a brow and increases the efficiency and reliability of the antilock brake system substantially in corresponding driving situations.

Abstract: A method is described which is used to check the correct function of the under-pressure brake system of a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and in particular of the output signals of a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is arranged in the under-pressure region of the brake system.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a luggage compartment located behind a row of seats, which luggage compartment is accessible from above by swivelling up a tailgate. There is provided a swivel-adjustable luggage compartment cover which is pivoted to the motor vehicle in its front end region and is positively coupled to the tailgate by coupling elements in its rear end region, so that opening of the tailgate causes the luggage compartment cover arranged below it to be opened. What is important is that the luggage compartment cover can be removed only when the tailgate is open.

Abstract: One aspect of the present application relates to a covering member for a protruding portion of a patient's body. This cover is flexible and collapsible so that it conforms to the shape of the encased portion of the body.

Abstract: Any pharmaceutical preparation for oral administration with controlled release of active ingredient in the small bowel, on the basis of active ingredient carriers provided with at least one active ingredient which are provided with an inner layer to control the release of active ingredient and with a gastro-resistant coating layer disposed thereon, which is characterized in that the inner layer is formed from at least two diffusion layers whose permeability for the diffusing active ingredient decreases from the inside to the outside, and a method for the production thereof, are described.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a hybrid drive train of a hybrid vehicle. The drive train has an internal combustion engine, a first electric machine, a transmission with an input shaft, a separating element and a first axle. The internal combustion engine can be connected to the first electric machine via the separating element. When the separating element is opened and the internal combustion engine is stationary, a difference in rotational speed occurs at the separating element between the internal combustion engine and the rotating first electric machine. The separating element is opened below and up to a maximum permissible difference in rotational speed at the separating element to drive the hybrid vehicle purely electrically by the first electric machine or to brake the vehicle or to coast. Above the maximum permissible difference in rotational speed the separating element and the first electric machine are separated from one another.

Abstract: A front spoiler of a motor vehicle is held on the front end part of the vehicle by fastening elements. To reinforce the front spoiler in the central region, reinforcing ribs are provided, which extend into inward and outward formations on the front end part. The reinforcing ribs are preferably vertically aligned plate-shaped structures that extend in the longitudinal direction. To ensure a necessary dimensional stability of the front spoiler during driving, the reinforcing ribs can be supported on the front end part, and the front spoiler itself can be supported on the reinforcing ribs.
