Abstract: In order to reinforce a rear part of a convertible vehicle, reinforcement elements are provided on both sides on a rollover protection device. The reinforcement elements are composed, at the rear side of the device when viewed in the direction of travel, of at least two diagonal struts which extend toward one another. Further reinforcement elements are composed, at the front side of the device when viewed in the direction of travel, of at least two lateral stays which are arranged diverging from one another. The diagonal struts and the stays are secured supported on the vehicle body.

Abstract: A scanning unit is for scanning a measuring standard having a coded track formed by a graduated scale, such as an incremental track, and a reference mark system, including a detector system for scanning the coded track and an additional detector system for scanning the reference mark system. The detector system, when scanning the associated coded track or reference mark system, receives scanning signals on a signal-sensitive surface, and the additional detector system includes at least two sensors, of which only one is used for scanning the reference mark system during operation of the scanning unit. Each of the two sensors is connected to one of the two inputs of a differential amplifier, and the sensor not used for scanning is deactivated in that its signal-sensitive surface is covered.

Abstract: The present application relates to amorphous forms of valganciclovir salts such as the hydrochloride and processes for their preparation.

Abstract: A motor vehicle (1) has a wind deflector (13) adjacent an upper cowl (8), a roof arrangement (10) behind the wind deflector (13) and an air-guiding device (16) behind the roof arrangement (10). The wind deflector (13) is extended into a first operative position (WS1) and the rear air-guiding device (16) is transferred into first lifting position (HS1) if the roof arrangement (10) is open and if the driving speed (VF) of the motor vehicle (1) is below a predetermined first value (V1). The wind deflector (13) is transferred into a second operative position (WS2) and the rear air-guiding device (16) is transferred into a second lifting position (HS2) above the first lifting position (HS1) if the roof arrangement (10) is open and if the driving speed (VF) is above a predetermined, second value (V2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a deburring tool for deburring abutting edges at orthogonally and obliquely extending transversal boreholes having a diameter of less than 10 mm in a component, such as an engine block, an injection system for combustion engines, a valve block and a camshaft or transmission shaft. The deburring tool is moved in a rotational and/or translatory manner and comprises a tool shaft (1), which is provided with a clamping end (2), and a tubular shaft part (5), characterized in that said tubular shaft part holds one or several cutting bodies (11) with a cutting blade (3), the cutting bodies being mounted in a movable manner in a passage (10), and in that a substance that is pressed under pressure into the through-bore (7) of the tool shaft (1) displaces the blade(s) to the exterior. The deburring tool is configured as a single piece and can be produced at low cost. Different blade geometries remove the burr by means of high speed deburring.

Abstract: A vehicle supporting structure (1) is provided for a motor vehicle having either a fixed roof or a movable roof. The vehicle supporting structure (1) has lateral side parts (16, 17) adjacent to the respective body pillar (2, 3), and a transverse support (6, 6?) arranged between the side parts (16, 17). A connecting component (9, 10) is inserted between each body pillar (2, 3) and the associated side part (16, 17), and the end (20) of each side part (16, 17) that faces away from the body pillar has a receiving part (21, 22, 21?, 22?) to which the transverse support (6, 6?) is fastened.

Abstract: A spoiler device, especially a rear spoiler, is adjustable between a non-usage setting and at least one usage setting. The rear spoiler is joined at its rear end area as viewed in the direction of travel via a covering device having a folded structure with a body, especially with a trunk lid of a motor vehicle. The covering device is embodied as a two-component part.

Abstract: A control panel configuration for a motor vehicle has a cross member that extends transversely to the vehicle longitudinal direction and is retained on fixed lateral construction structures. A control panel provides coverage toward the vehicle interior, and a knee retainer has a section for fastening the knee retainer to the cross member. A force absorption section extends essentially in the direction of the knee of an occupant. To reduce an intrusion of the control panel bottom parts, the knee retainer can be a rod-shaped support element that is loaded essentially longitudinally to its axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to heterocyclyl-substituted sulfonamides with 5-HT6 receptor affinity, and compositions thereof, and the use of said compounds for the treatment or prophylaxis of various disorders.

Abstract: The present invention refers to the use of a sodium channel blocker such as tetrodotoxin or saxitoxin, their analogues and derivatives as well as their physiologically acceptable salts, in medicinal products for human therapeutics for the treatment of peripheral-nervously derived neuropathic pain.

Abstract: A display device for a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine for at least temporarily driving the motor vehicle, and for displaying operating-time-related data of the internal combustion engine. The display device is characterized in that the operating-time-related data are provided as portions of the operation of the motor vehicle with a switched-off internal combustion engine at entities (E, E?, E?, . . . ) occurring earlier on the route of the motor vehicle. The display device is configured to display these data in the manner of a histogram.

Abstract: Inlet openings at the frontal region of a vehicle have actuable transversely oriented pivoting lamellae disposed behind them. The lamellae guide an air flow to a vehicle radiator in a targeted manner. The pivoting lamellae are connected to an actuating device with control linkages that are articulated to one another via deflection levers for an upper and a lower lamella unit. The upper pivoting lamellae are adjusted at an angle which is different than the lower pivoting lamellae. The upper pivoting lamellae can be set in each case as a unit jointly with the lower pivoting lamellae as a further unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an active substance combination comprising at least one compound with 5-HT6 receptor affinity, and at least NMDA-receptor ligand, a medicament comprising said active substance combination, and the use of said active substance combination for the manufacture of a medicament.

Abstract: A device for determining the position of an object that is movable along at least one displacement direction, the or each displacement direction having assigned to it one length measuring device for measuring the position of the object along the respective spatial direction, includes: at least one scale extending along a displacement direction of the object to be measured as a first component of the respective length measuring device; a scanning head for scanning the scale as a second component of the respective length measuring device such that a change in the position of the scale with respect to the scanning head along the associated displacement direction of the object to be measured is measurable, one of the two components of the respective length measuring device being moved together with the object to be measured along the respective displacement direction when the latter is moved; and a device for determining the distance of the component of the respective length measuring device, which is movable tog

Abstract: A folding top compartment lid, in particular a folding top compartment lid with an integrated engine bay lid, is pivoted into an open position and into a closed position by a so-called four-bar hinge arrangement. An actuating device is articulatedly connected to a rear and a front setting-out lever of the four-bar hinge mechanism, which actuating device is coupled to a locking device which contains locking hooks. The actuating device with the setting-out levers can be activated by a hydraulic cylinder so as to pivot into the open and closed positions in such a way that the folding top compartment lid can be moved from the locked closed position into an unlocked open position and back from the open position into the closed position.
