Abstract: A display device for displaying transmission selected speeds and ratios is provided. In order to create a display device in which the space requirement for the display is reduced, it is proposed to use as the display elements the scale elements such as scale numbers or divisional lines of a display instrument. In preferred embodiments, the display instrument is a tachometer.

Abstract: A chain drive is used for driving camshafts, secondary shafts or the like, from a crankshaft, in an internal combustion engine. A tensioner blade and a sliding blade rest against the loose end and against the load end of a chain of the chain drive. For compensating component tolerances, the sliding blade and the tensioner blade are each disposed in an articulated manner at a proximal end via a bolt. An adjusting device is applied to a distal end of each of the sliding blade and the tensioner blade, respectively.

Abstract: A linear drive, comprising a primary part (3) arranged on a slide block (1), wherein the slide block (1) is movable on a guide-rail system (21,22), as well as comprising a stationary secondary part (4), which operates together with the primary part (3) in such a way that the slide block (1) is movable on the guide-rail system (21,22). In order to facilitate insertion and extraction of the primary part (3), a spacer (5) is proposed to be arranged between primary part (3) and slide block (1), which is removable during the dismantling of the primary part (3) from the slide block (1) and thus the separation between primary part (3) and secondary part (4) is adjustable.

Abstract: In a holding device for releasable fastening of a child seat to a vehicle seat, at least one holding element is secured to the vehicle seat by a screw fastening. The holding element has a holding leg which projects, extends crosswise, and is aligned approximately horizontally, to which leg the child seat can be fastened. The holding element is provided with a simple design and can be easily installed by forming each holding element from an annular holding eye, with a fastening leg of the holding eye aligned approximately parallel to the holding leg being securable, from the front of the vehicle seat and by only one screw connection, to the vehicle seat.

Abstract: An orally adminsterable pharmaceutical pellet formulation for the treatment of the intestinal tract is disclosed, which comprises a core and an enteric coating, the core including, as a pharmaceutical active compound, aminosalicylic acid or a pharmaceutically tolerable salt or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: An engine is operated with two groups of cylinders, one of which groups is constantly powered and a second of said groups is selectively operated by cutting it in and out. The second group of cylinders is cut in and out by switching the valve lift of the associated charge-changing valves. The valve lift of the constantly operated cylinder group is also independently variable so that in both operating states of the second cylinder group, consumption-optimized valve lifts can be set for the first cylinder group.

Abstract: In a process for automatically controlling the speed of a motor vehicle, the vehicle speed is controlled to a definable desired speed (vdes). When a speed change is initiated by the driver, the control event is canceled and, after the conclusion of the speed change, a new desired speed (vdes-new) is detected as a controlled variable. The amount of the actual acceleration (|aact|) is then compared with the amount of a definable reference acceleration (|aact|<|aref|). The momentary speed at the point in time when the amount of the actual acceleration (|aact|) is less than or equal to the amount of the definable reference acceleration (|aref|) is stored as the new desired speed (vdes-new), which can be corrected as a function of operating parameters.

Abstract: The invention relates to extracts from ginkgo biloba leaves with a reduced 4′-O-methyl pyridoxine and biflavones content, to a method for the production thereof and to medicaments containing said extracts.

Abstract: An interior covering part, particularly an instrument panel for motor vehicles, has a member which is covered by a foil and is constructed integrally with a flap covering an opening for passage of an air bag when the air bag is triggered. The flap is also covered by the foil and is marked by a weakening and/or perforation along its edge. On its side facing a vehicle occupant compartment, the interior covering part is provided with a laminated-on decorative layer which is slotted on the side situated opposite a hypothetical folding axis as well as in areas on both adjoining upright sides of the flap. The slotted areas of the decorative layer are covered by a fitted-on strip.

Abstract: A motor vehicle wheel having hollow spokes and made of a light metal is produced in a casting process. In the hollow space, the wheel spokes have a dead core consisting of a metallic material in the form of a metal foam or of a closed shell-shaped element, which dead core remains in the hollow space after casting.

Abstract: The preparation and use of novel lentiviral SiVagm-derived vectors for gene transfer and in particular a method of preparation of the lentiviral vectors containing capsid particles of the simian immunodeficiency virus SIVagm and envelope proteins of SIVagm and other retroviruses such as the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV), other simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV), other retroviruses such as the murine leukemia virus (MLV) or the “gibbon ape leukemia virus” (GaLV) or the porcine endogenous or exogenous retrovirus (PERV), the “vesicular stomatitis virus” (VSV-G) are described. The vectors and corresponding packaging cells may be employed for packaging and transfer of genes which are not packaged by other lentiviral, retroviral and other vectors or which show an inefficient gene transfer with other vector particles. These vectors may be used for gene transfer into selected cell types, specifically into proliferatively active and resting human cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to a position sensor which scans a magnetic graduation having a code structure with several Hall elements. The Hall elements are not simultaneously activated, interrogated and deactivated but rather are sequentially activated, interrogated and deactivated in order to reduce the consumption of power by the position sensor. The position values determined by the Hall elements are stored in intermediate memories. Alternatively, if the rotation of the graduation exceeds a threshold value then an intermediate memory or memories is bypassed and the output signal is directly output. The position sensor according to the present invention can be employed with longitudinal and angular measuring systems.

Abstract: A method for transmitting data between a position measuring system and an evaluating unit that includes the steps of generating a system-specific parameter, transmitting the system specific parameter between a position measuring system and an evaluating unit over at least one supply line.

Abstract: An optoelectronic component arrangement is indicated, which includes a radiation-sensitive detector element having a semiconductor base substrate with one or more doped partial regions and at least one partial layer which is arranged directly in front of the semiconductor base substrate. The detector element is arranged on a transparent carrier substrate, and a filling material is arranged between the carrier substrate and the surface of the detector element facing the carrier substrate. All materials arranged in front of the semiconductor base substrate and the doped partial regions have an essentially similar index of refraction.
