Abstract: The invention relates to a cervical vertebra plate (10) for osteosynthesis, having two receiving openings for the screw heads (18) of bone screws (16) in order to secure the cervical vertebra plate to two cervical vertebrae. The receiving openings have grooves (22) in the distal region on the periphery thereof and the depth of the grooves increases from a proximal to a distal end. The invention also relates to a bone screw (18) comprising a screw head (16) and a screw shank. The screw head comprises grooves (34) on the outer periphery thereof and the depth of the grooves varies along the length thereof.

Abstract: A relationship assistant is used in conjunction with an electronic device in order to monitor a person's communications with others. The relationship assistant gathers information from a variety of applications in order to determine whether there are particular contacts with whom the user has not recently communicated. The relationship assistant can therefore inform the user of relationships that may be languishing, as well as provide a user with a listing of the number, frequency and types of communications that have occurred.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention relates to an extendable spinal implant with a first outer sleeve and a second outer sleeve coaxially disposed thereto and an inside drive element which is connected by means of screws to at least one of the outer sleeves, with the inside drive element comprising a first thread, e.g., an outside thread, and with the outer sleeve that is connected by means of screws to the drive element comprising a second thread, e.g. an inside thread, that fits on the outside thread, with the inside drive element resting on a support ring and with the drive element being able to be driven in the area of its front surface that faces the supporting ring.

Abstract: The invention describes a sliding door guide for motor vehicles, in particular vans and utility vehicles, with a carriage (7) and sliding rails (6), in which an upper, lower and a central guide mechanism hold the door (1) in place and in which the door (1) is flush with the side panel (2) of the vehicle when closed and extends beyond the side of the side panel (2) when open and can essentially be moved parallel to the side panel. The sliding rails (6) on the inside of the door are characteristic of the invention as the central guide mechanism, in which the carriage is hinge-mounted on a reversing lever and in turn the reversing lever is hinge-mounted on a pillar (4) of the vehicle body, the first anchor (6, 13) is mounted in front of the carriage (7) when seen in the direction of opening, and a second anchor (11) is mounted in the side panel (2) approximately half way along the path of opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing 2- and 2,5-substituted derivatives of 4-(trifluoromethyl)-phenol and 4-(2-trifluoromethyl)-phenyl)-2-tetrahydropyranyl) ether and to novel derivatives. Said method is characterised in that a compound of formula (2) 4-(trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-(tetrahydropyranyl) ether is reacted with an electrophile E-X or a combination of electrophiles E-X and E-Y in the presence of a base, X and Y having the meanings given in the description.

Abstract: A wrist prosthesis has distal and proximal sections, which are connected with one another by a curved bearing.

Abstract: An osteosynthesis device includes a bone screw and a correcting rod which is positioned and axially fixed in a fork head of the bone screw. To this end, the fork head includes means which prevent the longitudinal displacement of the correcting rod. In addition, the screw shank of the bone screw is mounted in the fork head such that it is able to move in relation to same and in the area in which it receives the screw shank said fork head is configured as a hollow cone.

Abstract: The invention concerns a bone screw comprising a screw shaft and a forked head into which a correction rod can be fixed. The forked head bears a nut which is connected to the forked head by a bayonet joint.

Abstract: The fumaric acid salt of 2-{3-[4-(2-t-butyl-6-trifluoromethyl-4-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]propylthio}-4-pyrimidinol is useful for treating disorders which respond to dopamine D3 ligands. It has higher stability at low pH and is therefore particularly suitable for oral administration in pharmaceutical compositions comprising this salt.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing chiral 3,4-dehydroproline compounds of formula (I), in which R, R' and R" have the meanings given in the description. The invention is characterized by a pyrrolecarboxylic acid derivative compound of formula (II) reacted first with an alkali or alkaline earth metal in ammonia and then with an aqueous salt solution or a compound of formula (III) in which X is a leaving group to form the final chiral product compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an intervertebral implant for insertion between two vertebral bodies of a spinal column, comprising a body containing two contact faces, whereby the body is designed as a hollow body, and the hollow body is formed by a side wall which has a convexly curved longitudinal wall portion and a concavely curved longitudinal wall portion as well as two convexly curved lateral wall portions connecting the two longitudinal wall portions with each other, whereby the radii of curvature of the lateral wall portions are smaller than the radii of curvature of the longitudinal wall portions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an osteosynthesis device with a bone screw and a correction rod, in which the correction rod is placed in a bifurcated head of the bone screw and axially fixed. To that end, the bifurcated head has structure that prevent the longitudinal displacement of the correction rod.
