Abstract: An adjustable suspension strut for a motor vehicle includes a damping element enveloped by a spring, a first ring cylinder axially slidable relative to the damping cylinder, a second ring cylinder disposed between the damping cylinder and the first ring cylinder, a working chamber defined by at least the first and second ring cylinders, and an adjusting element configured to adjust the relative position between the damping element and one of the first and the second ring cylinders. The second ring cylinder is axially slidable relative to the damping cylinder. The second end of the spring is disposed on one of the ring cylinders. The two ring cylinders are axially displaced relative to each other.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel polymorphic/pseudopolymorphic forms of arginine salt of 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid, having the formula I shown below. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the novel polymorphic form or their mixture and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The polymorphic forms of the present invention are more active, as antidiabetic and hypolipidemic agent, than the novel 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat dissipating device, especially for high-performance industrial ultrasonic transducers. The aim of the invention is to produce a device that enables high-performance ultrasonic transducers to operate continuously in environments with high heat and/or high humidity, whereby heat is dissipated in an explosion-proof embodiment in a more effective manner. This is achieved by surrounding the ultrasonic transducer (1) with a closed cooling system comprising a layer (2) that absorbs vibrations, e.g. a silicon rubber layer, and a layer that dissipates heat (3), e.g. silica sand.

Abstract: The description refers to a facility for needling of fleece with a needle bar (6) taking up at least one needle board (1), which is driven to and fro via axially displaceable pushing rods (7, 8) by means of an eccentric drive (11). To facilitate a longer needle board in fleece feed direction, we suggest to fix the needle bar (1) at two rows of pushing rods (7, 8), arranged in tandem at some distance from each other in fleece feed direction and connected via a crosshead (9), and to make the eccentric drive (11) act upon the crosshead (9).

Abstract: A viscosimeter for measuring the relative, intrinsic or inherent viscosity of a solution in a solvent with at least one flow resistance and one feeding point for the solution to be examined in a conduit system as well as with respective manometers on the flow resistance which are coupled with a differential amplifier, wherein the viscosimeter includes flow resistances such as disk-shaped or leaf-shaped Venturi nozzles or different KV flow resistances with the smallest possible thickness and with a small volume with respect to all other parallel and following capillaries in a flow conduit system with two legs which contains in the first leg at least three pressure reducing elements, for example capillaries, whereby behind the capillary following the branch point a pressure manometer is provided for with a connected bigger vessel, whereby behind further capillaries connected with each other with different diameters and with a big volume which corresponds to 100 to 1000 times the KV flow resistance in the second

Abstract: A new topical drug (ointment or eye drop) for treating glaucoma or ocular hypertension in a patient, which comprises a mixture of a nitric oxide (NO) donor such as nitrovasodilators like minoxidil, nitroglycerin, L-arginine, isosorbide dinitrate, or nitroprusside, and a cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP) specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor such as sildenafil citrate (ViagraRTM) in an ophthalmologically acceptable solution mix. In this manner there will be increased blood circulation to the optic nerve and the ocular hypotensive effect of the combined compounds is enhanced synergistically.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the general formula (I), their derivatives, their analogs, their tautomeric forms, their stereoisomers, their polymorphs, their pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions containing them.

Abstract: A washer element for a wheel bolt and/or a wheel nut of a motor vehicle wheel is mounted with one end partially in a rounded cavity of a mounting hole for the wheel and the wheel bolt is supported on the other end of the element. The washer element consists of a sleeve part with an end area formed so that it is rounded, whereby in cross section the sleeve part itself has a profiled wall with a sleeve expansion and/or a sleeve contraction.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door with a lower door element is provided into which an outer window channel reinforcement is integrated. This window channel reinforcement comprises a profiled section and is supported on the interior side on the outside door panel. Additional stiffenings of the profiling are formed by transversely extending indentations in the profilings.

Abstract: For restraint guidance of the transmission housing in a crash situation, a crash skid is provided on the underside of the transmission housing and has an inclined surface which faces a cross arm. In the event of a shifting of the transmission housing counter to the direction of travel, the inclined surface introduces a restraint guidance of the transmission housing obliquely upward above the cross arm.

Abstract: An apparatus is described for needling a non-woven material with a support (3) which receives at least one needleboard (1) and is drivable in a reciprocating fashion both in the needle-penetration direction (5) as well as the direction of passage (6) of the non-woven material and on which are coupled the connecting rods (10) of two oppositely drivable eccentric drives (8, 9) for the drive in the needle-penetration direction (5) and on which there acts at least one additional eccentric drive (12).

Abstract: An adjustable fixing element, particularly for headlights of motor vehicles, has a setscrew on which a first screw element and a second screw element are arranged with locating surfaces which face each other. In order to create an adjustable fixing device which can be adjusted higher from the side of the plate facing away from the object to be fixed or from another holder, it is proposed to provide a handling aid on the first screw element which projects beyond its locating surface. The second screw element exhibits a corresponding recess in its locating surface for receiving the handling aid of the first screw element.

Abstract: An arrangement, optionally a running board or a side member covering can be mounted on a strip-type support profile connected with the vehicle body. The connection between the support profile and the running board or the side member covering takes place by mutually corresponding concave and convex longitudinal profile edges on the running board and on the support profile or on the side member covering. In a simple manner the running board with the support profile or the side member covering with the support profile may be optionally connected.

Abstract: Method of aiding shifting operations in motor vehicles with automated manual or automatic transmissions. The current operating conditions are detected and analyzed in an analyzing unit. In the event of an operation of the motor vehicle which indicates an imminent shifting operation, a precontact switch, which is arranged in an operating device for the gear selection, switches into an active mode. This precontact switch emits a signal when the driver approaches to grip the operating device for the gear shifting. In the event of the occurrence of the precontact switch signal, the shifting operation is initiated by a reduction of the engine torque while the driver has not yet gripped the operating device. This clearly shortens the shifting time.
