Abstract: An air guiding device for a motor vehicle includes an air guiding element that is displaceable by a deployment device, between operative and inoperative positions. In its inoperative position, it is lowered with respect to a stationary vehicle body shell and, in its operative position it is deployed outward, projecting beyond the vehicle body shell. The deployment device has at least one deployment element with a deployment arm that is displaceably disposed in a guide housing. The air guiding element is arranged on the fastening end of the deployment arm. The deployment element is equipped with a manually operable adjusting device in order to align the air guiding element in its inoperative position relative to the vehicle body shell. To adjust the air guiding element in its inoperative position relative to the vehicle body shell, the deployment element has an internal or external-thread section on its fastening end as an adjusting arrangement.

Abstract: A cooling circuit arrangement for a multicylinder internal combustion engine with V-shaped cylinder banks and cooling jackets which surround the cylinder banks and which are provided with cooling liquid by a pump arranged between the two cylinder banks on one of their face sides is disclosed. The pressure-sided connection of the coolant pump, arranged on the one face side of the two cylinder banks, is connected by a coolant pipe to a distributor pipe, arranged on the other face side of the cylinder banks, for the purpose of feeding cooling liquid. A return flow chamber for the coolant from the cooling jackets is arranged between the two cylinder banks adjacent to the pump housing. In this manner the space, existing between the two cylinder banks, is utilized for a part of the coolant arrangement so that the internal combustion engine exhibits a compact design.

Abstract: An adjusting element for fastening a headlight arrangement on a vehicle. The adjusting element has a nut element and a screw element, the screw element being screwed into the nut element. An opening is formed at a vehicle-body-side supporting plate for the nut element. The nut element is formed by an expansion nut which can be inserted into the opening, can be adjusted and has an eccentrically constructed receiving groove, so that, in the insertion direction and transversely thereto, the opening has a larger measurement than the inside diameter of the receiving groove and that, as a result of the screwing of the screw element into the positioned expansion nut, the latter is fixed on the supporting plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to antacid preparations comprising the following constituents: (i) an acid-binding active constituent (antacid) or a mixture of such active constituents, (ii) an effervescent mixture that releases CO2, (iii) a polymeric surfactant as foam-forming agent or a mixture of such surfactants, (iv) a swellable and gel-forming polymer or a mixture of such polymers, and (v) optionally conventional auxiliary substances, as well as a process for the production of such antacid preparations. In a particularly preferred embodiment the antacid preparation is formulated in the form of a chewable tablet. The antacid preparations according to the invention are suitable for the symptomatic treatment of duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, as well as heartburn and acid-caused gastric disorders such as hyperacidic gastritis.

The calibration device also has a probing unit attached to the manipulator platform, and including n probing subsystems, the probing subsystems each including a distance measuring device for measuring the spatial position and spatial orientation of the measuring mandrels on the test workpiece.

Abstract: An arrangement for the relative angle-of-rotation adjustment of a camshaft with respect to a driving wheel has an interior part which is non-rotatably connected with the camshaft. A driven cell wheel has several cells which are distributed along the circumference and are bounded by webs and can be divided into two pressure spaces by the webs or blades guided therein in an angularly movable manner. At least one locking device, which is operative between the interior part and the cell wheel, can lock the interior part with respect to the cell wheel in at least one end position. At least one blade of the interior part has a head part having at least one locking element which interacts with a locking structure provided on at least one web of the cell wheel.

Abstract: A machine tool having at least one tool spindle which can be moved and positioned in at least one working plane by a movement system. It is proposed to produce the movement system from at least two guide rods connected to one another in an articulated manner by a guide rod joint, and that in the process, the free ends of the guide rods can be moved in opposite relative directions towards and apart from one another and/or in the same direction as one another.

Abstract: A tool for removing material or machining the end of a pipe. The tool having at least one and preferably two blade plates. Each blade plate includes a first cutter for machining an end surface of the pipe, a second cutter adjacent the first cutter for producing an internal chamfer in the pipe end and a third cutter adjacent the first cutter positioned for producing an external chamfer adjoining the end surface of the pipe end. Devices guide and permit movement of the cutters either radially or axially. The shaping of the cutter is disclosed.
