Abstract: An optoelectronic module includes a control element, at least one temperature sensor, and at least one semiconductor emitter unit. The semiconductor emitter unit includes at least a first emitter and a second emitter. The first emitter is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range. The second emitter is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in a second wavelength range different from the first wavelength range. The control element includes a memory unit and a driver output for each emitter. The temperature sensor determines a temperature. Each emitter is assigned a non-linear characteristic curve in the memory unit. The control element is intended to drive the emitters independently of each other by means of a respective driver output. The control element controls the emitters depending on the determined temperature and the respective characteristic curve of the emitter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ski binding including a front jaw and a rear jaw for holding the sole of a ski boot. The front jaw includes a base, via which the front jaw can be connected to a ski, a first holding device for connecting the boot to the ski at the front end of the boot for ascending, and a second holding device for connecting the ski boot to the ski at the front end of the boot for descending. The second holding device exhibits a first configuration for descending, in which the second holding device is in contact with the front end of the sole of the ski boot, and a second configuration for ascending, in which the second holding device is out of contact with the front end of the sole of the ski boot.

Abstract: A brake device for a sliding board, including: a base for connecting the brake device to the sliding board; and a brake, including: at least one brake paddle; a latching element which can be moved back and forth between a first position in which the brake paddle can be released in order to slow the sliding board and a second position in which the brake paddle can be fixed in a non-braking position; and a pedal which includes a bearing area for a boot and a functional element which can be moved relative to the bearing area, wherein moving the functional element releases the latching element to be moved from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: Additives for making polyurethanes are disclosed. The additives are based on combining specific carboxylic acids or carboxylic di-acids together with a gelling catalysts obtained when mixing an isocyanate-reactive tertiary amine catalysts with dimethyl tin di carboxylate salts and/or dimethyltin mercaptide salts.

Abstract: A disc brake for a utility vehicle has a brake caliper which fits around a brake disc, is in the form of a sliding caliper, is fastened to a stationary brake carrier and has a central opening over the brake disc. The disc brake has two brake pads which are arranged in the brake caliper, can be moved in opposite directions and each have a pad carrier plate and a friction lining fastened thereto, and of which an action-side brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc by a tensioning device via at least one brake piston. The disc brake also has at least one spreading device with which the brake caliper can be returned after a displacement caused by braking and after a release of the brake. The spreading device has resilient spring units which act on the mutually opposing brake pads.

Abstract: A front jaw for a touring ski binding, includes a base and at least one recess or transit opening in the base. Lateral sole retainers lie opposite each other in relation to a longitudinal axis of the front jaw each include a boot retainer pin and, in a pivoted-in state, co-operate with bearings formed on a ski boot, defining a pivoting axis for the boot extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the front jaw, and are adjustable between the pivoted-in state, where the bearings of the boot engage the boot retainer pins, and a pivoted-away state where the bearings of the boot are not engaged with the boot retainer pins; spring elements for tensioning the lateral sole retainers; a tensioning lever for moving the sole retainers from the pivoted-in state to the pivoted-away state to release the ski boot from a downhill skiing position or a walking position.

Abstract: A disc brake includes a brake caliper that engages over a brake disc, the caliper having a central opening over the brake disc. The disc brake has two brake pads which are located in the brake caliper, can be moved in opposite directions and each of which has a pad backing plate with a friction lining secured thereon. An action-side or application-side brake pad of the two brake pads can be pressed against the brake disc by a brake application device with the aid of at least one brake plunger.
