Abstract: A method for removing a blind rivet includes a workpiece arrangement having first and second surfaces and a connecting hole. A blind rivet is fixed in the hole and has a shell and screw through the shell extending coaxially along a common center axis, the shell having a shell head portion, straight portion, deformation portion and threaded portion having an internal thread. The straight portion is in the hole and the deformation portion and the threaded portion protrude out of the hole, the screw having a screw head portion and pin portion having an external thread. The screw is in the shell such that the deformation portion of the shell is deformed where the outside diameter of the deformed deformation portion is larger than the diameter of the hole. The shell is cut in the region of the thread portion and/or the deformation portion, and the blind rivet is removed from the hole.

Abstract: A rotary bearing (50), especially for harmonic gearing, comprising an outer bearing ring (1b) and an inner bearing ring (1a) arranged therein; whereby the inner bearing ring (1a) and the outer bearing ring (1b) are each provided with at least one receptacle (10, 11) through which, when the two receptacles (10, 11) are in a corresponding position with respect to one another, rolling elements (8) can be inserted through a receptacle opening (22) formed by the two receptacles (10, 11) into an anti-friction bearing between the bearing surface (7) of the inner bearing ring (1a) and the bearing surface (9) of the outer bearing ring (1b), wherein a guide ring (20) for the rolling elements (8) is arranged in at least one of the two receptacles (10, 11) between the receptacle opening (22) and the rolling elements (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine formed from a lower part and an upper part which are threadingly connected to one another to form a piston. In one example, an anti-rotation safeguard device is used to prevent unwanted rotation of the upper part relative to the lower part. In another example, a forged extension and a nut are used to obtain a prestress during operation of the piston. In another example, a cooling gallery including extension bores are used to increase the cooling capacity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-IL-1 beta binding members and in particular to monovalent high potency IL-1 beta-binding antibody fragments being highly stable and soluble. Such binding members may be used in the treatment of inflammatory and other diseases as well as in diagnostics. Also provided are related nucleic acids, vectors, cells, and compositions.

Abstract: A method for removing a two-part connector in a workpiece arrangement includes providing a workpiece arrangement having first and second surfaces and having a hole connecting the first surface to the second surface. A connector is fastened in the hole, which connector has a bolt extending along a central axis and a sleeve fastened on the bolt. The bolt has a head portion and a shank portion with retaining grooves. The sleeve is fastened to the bolt on the side of the second surface such that the inner surface thereof engages with the retaining grooves and prevents a relative movement of bolt and sleeve parallel to the central axis. The sleeve has an outside diameter which is greater than the diameter of the hole in the workpiece arrangement. The sleeve is cut and or the bolt, and the connector is removed from the hole.
