Abstract: The invention relates to a mold for a device for manufacturing particle foam articles. The mold delimits a mold cavity. The mold includes a mold chase and at least one mold plate movable relative to the mold chase. The mold chase is characterized in that it comprises front walls that are formed to be more rigid than the inner wall facing the mold cavity. According to another aspect of the invention, the mold plate comprises a reinforcing structure, which is formed independently of a hollow chamber structure of the mold plate, wherein vapor is conducted exclusively through the hollow chamber structure of the mold plate. Furthermore, fins of the hollow chamber structure can be arranged slanted, so that condensed water forming in the hollow chamber structure flows away from the inner wall of the mold plate. According to another aspect, a sealing element is provided, which surrounds the mold plate. The sealing element is formed as an inflatable tube.

Abstract: Novel salts of a [1.2.4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine compound according to Formula I: The salts may be prepared as pharmaceutical compositions, and may be used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of conditions in mammals including humans, including by way of non-limiting example, inflammation, and others.

Abstract: A control apparatus and method is provided for controlling temperatures, temperature differences, or, respectively, liquid levels in refrigeration cycles used for example in heat pumps or refrigeration installations, which is not dependent on the refrigerating medium employed or on the field of application. The flow of the liquid is controlled by two position relay control valves which are electromagnetically actuated and operated by fluid pressure, are suited for large numbers of cycles and are wear resistant. Instabilities in the refrigeration medium cycle are avoided and variations in the end point of the evaporation no longer have a negative influence on the functioning of the control system. The conventionally employed thermostatic expansion valves are replaced by wear resistant two position valves with high frequencies of switching.
