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: 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: 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.

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: The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) having pharmacological activity towards the sigma receptor, to processes of preparation of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to their use for the treatment and or prophylaxis of a disease in which the sigma receptor is involved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rear crash element for the rear bumper of a motor vehicle in the area of the number plate recess, having an impact element seated on the crossbeam of the motor vehicle, behind which, with respect to the driving direction of the motor vehicle, a shock absorbing element is arranged. The shock absorbing element is arranged behind the bumper cladding and is covered by a plastic covering, such as a horn cladding or the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for interpolating, for the purpose of measurement of lengths and/or angles, at least two position-dependent, periodic analog signals that are phase-shifted with respect to each other and that are generated by scanning a measuring scale. According to the inventive method, the analog signals are converted to a digital data stream using a sigma-delta modulator, the data streams are combined with correctional factors and then with each other to generate a string of results, and said string of results is used to generate new correctional values by the use of a quality criterion to be satisfied for interpolation and also to generate the output signals of interpolation. The values (d) of the string of results are accumulated over a specified time interval in order to generate the correctional values (k1, k2) and the output signals (w).

Abstract: There is provided an improved process for the preparation of Sitagliptin of Formula II by reduction of compound of Formula VIII to Formula IX followed by deprotection of Formula IX to afford Sitagliptin of Formula II.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to perhydroquinoxaline derivates, processes for their preparation, their use for the preparation of a medicament and medicaments containing perhydroquinoxaline derivates.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine with a crankcase upper part and a crankcase lower part, wherein an oil windage tray is provided, which is flanged onto the crankcase upper part from below, projects into the crankcase lower part, forms a wall for an oil mist roller initiated by the rotation of a crankshaft, and includes at least one carpenter's plane-like slot for separating oil droplets. At least two slots are provided in the rotational direction of the crankshaft and thus in the rotational direction of the oil mist roller, wherein a return opening, through which oil mist-free gases or gases with at least a reduced oil mist content flow back, is provided in the wall of the oil windage tray after each slot, as a result of which friction is reduced.

Abstract: A container for installation in a vehicle has a housing and a lid mounted pivotably on the housing and connected operatively via a gear to a spring device prestressing the lid in an opening direction and supported on the housing. A cardiod control moves and locks the lid. It is in this case important that the cardiod of the cardiod control is disposed continuously on an outer circumference of a shaft having the spring device and co-operates with a movable pin arranged on the housing side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to taste masked pharmaceutical formulations, processes for preparing the same and methods of using them. The present invention relates to taste masked effervescent formulations comprising fexofenadine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, processes for preparing the same, and therapeutic uses and methods of treatment employing such formulations.

Abstract: A device for the reinforcement of large-surface-area lateral sections of a rear bumper covering is effected by a supporting holder which is arranged pivotably on a load-bearing structure, is folded-in in a delivery position, is folded up in an assembly position and can be fastened with its free end to the vehicle body.

Abstract: The air guiding device has one or more air guiding bodies. Each air guiding body has an elongate attachment that extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle that bulges in a convex manner, is composed of a flexible or soft-elastic material and is embodied in the form of a half shell having a lateral elongate opening and can be adjusted automatically in the driving condition from a rest position into an operative position, in which it can be lowered in the direction of the roadway. In the rest position, the air guiding body is arranged close to the undersurface and, in the operative position, the air guiding body is held in a lowered position relative to the undersurface.

Abstract: A controllable coolant pump for internal combustion engines is driven by a belt pulley. The controllable coolant pump has a hydraulically actuated gate valve connected to a ring piston. An axial piston pump is disposed in the pump housing and is driven and “operated” by means of a swashplate having a suction groove and disposed on the back side of the flywheel. The “pumped volume flow” of the pump is controlled in a defined manner by means of a solenoid valve such that precise displacement of the hydraulically actuated gate valve is ensured.
