Abstract: A method for further processing of a glass tube semi-finished product includes: providing the glass tube semi-finished product, along with tube-specific data for the glass tube semi-finished product; reading the tube-specific data for the glass tube semi-finished product; and further processing of the glass tube semi-finished product including a step of thermal forming carried out at least in sections. At least one process parameter during the further processing of the glass tube semi-finished product including the step of thermal forming carried out at least in sections is controlled as a function of the tube-specific data for the glass tube semi-finished product. In this way, the further processing can be matched more efficiently to the particular characteristics of a glass tube semi-finished product to be processed or a particular subsection thereof, and the relevant characteristics of the particular glass tube semi-finished product do not need to be measured again.

Abstract: A drive device for a pivoting vehicle flap, includes a first housing part (3), a second housing part (4), wherein the first housing part (3) and the second housing part (4) are designed to be movable toward each other in the direction of the axial extension (x) of the drive device (1), a spindle rod (12) rotatably arranged on one of the first housing part (3) and the second housing part (4) and a spindle nut (13) arranged in a rotatably fixed manner on the other of the first housing part (3) and the second housing part (4), a braking device (19), comprising a first brake element, which is connected to the spindle rod (12) in a rotatably fixed manner, a second brake element, which is connected to one of the first housing part (3) and the second housing part (4) in a rotatably fixed manner, wherein the first brake element can interact with the second brake element in order to generate a brake force, and a magnet arrangement for generating a magnetic field.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gun, especially an air gun or firearm, comprising a barrel arrangement (1) that has at least one barrel element (2) forming at least part of a barrel of the gun, and a silencer element (3) that is or can be fastened to the barrel element (2); in order for the silencer element (3) to be fastened to the barrel element (2), at least one clamping element (12) that can be or is fastened within the silencer element (3) is used to be able to axially clamp or axially clamp the silencer element (3) against at least one contact element (5) located or formed on the barrel element (2).

Abstract: A fixing device for bone fractures having at least two tensioning elements, at least two fastening elements and at least two sleeve elements. Each of the tensioning elements has a contoured body and has, at ends mutually spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, receivers which enclose sleeve elements and/or fastening elements, so that by linking a plurality of tensioning elements, sleeve elements and/or fastening elements they can be arranged into a chain. Each tensioning element is formed with mirror-symmetry with respect to the longitudinal direction, wherein the receivers extend, starting from an imaginary center line of each tensioning element in longitudinal direction, upwards or downwards to the outer edge of the contoured body of the tensioning element in the height direction and have a toothing system on their contact surface facing the imaginary center line.
