Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator, comprising a drive (2) that drives a drive shaft (1), a first actuating element (3) operatively connected to the drive shaft (1) for actuating a switching apparatus, a spring element (5), which can be supported at one end on a housing component (16) of the actuator and is supported on the other end on a second actuating element (17) designed to load the spring element (5). The actuator according to the invention is characterized in that a rotatably mounted rotational element/gearwheel (13) that can be driven by means of the drive shaft (1) is provided, which rotational element has, on one side, a first control gate (7), which is operatively connected to the first actuating element (3) for actuation of the switching apparatus, and on the other side, a second control gate (8) for loading the spring element (5).

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a process for preparing diarylcycloalkyl derivatives of the formula (I). wherein the respective R-group substituents are defined herein. These compounds of formula (I) are activators for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR activators) which are useful in the therapeutic treatment of a number of diseases and disorders of the central nervous system such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, psychiatric disorders and the like. The present invention is a novel process for preparing PPAR activators of the formula (I) which do not have the disadvantages of the processes known in the prior art. In particular, a process is provided with which the PPAR activators of formula (I) can be prepared in a suitable enantiomeric excess, i.e. high enantioselectivity, without the need for subsequent chiral chromatography.

Abstract: Provided are compounds of formula A and formula I: A compound of formula A: wherein n is an integer from 6 to 17 and a compound of formula I:

Abstract: The present invention is a process for the preparation of diphenylazetidinone derivatives of the formula (I) or forms thereof comprising the substituents X, R1 and/or R2 as defined herein. More specifically, the invention comprises methods for the preparation of these compounds by cyclization of certain ?-amino carboxamides or ?-amino carboxylic esters. These diphenylazetidinone compounds are useful in the treatment of high blood serum cholesterol levels and the maintenance of the reduced cholesterol levels achieved thereby.

Abstract: A window channel receives a slidable pane of window glass within a gap. The glass slides in contact with areas which are coated with low friction material which is applied by sintering. For example, the sintered material may be powdery polyurethane, polypropylene or polyamide. The sintered powders may be transparent and may be applied after the areas have been coated with a solvent or primer. Using similar materials, but with colored powders, the exposed surfaces of door and other seals may be provided with a colored coating.
