Abstract: The present technology relates to an improved one-stage method for producing azoniaspironortropine esters such as trospium chloride by reacting an endonortropine compound with an organic dihalogen compound and an a-hydroxycarboxylic acid in the presence of a base and 1,1? carbonyldiimidazole or 1,1? thiocarbonyldiimidazole or thionyldiimidazole. The present technology also relates to an improved method for producing nortropan-3-one compounds or their hydrohalides (such as N-benzyltropanone hydrochloride) by reacting an amine and a protected dialdehyde with a basic aqueous solution of 1,3-acetone dicarboxylic acid.

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: An extendable spinal implant has a first outer sleeve and a second outer sleeve coaxially disposed thereto. An inside drive element is connected by means of screws to at least one of the outer sleeves. The inside drive element has an outside thread, and the outer sleeve that is connected to the drive element has an inside thread that fits on the outside thread. The inside drive element rests on a supporting ring, and is rotatably driven with respect to the supporting ring.

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