Abstract: The present invention relates to novel antagonists for CCR2 (CC chemokine receptor 2) and their use for providing medicaments for treating conditions and diseases, especially pulmonary diseases like asthma and COPD.

Abstract: A textile product (1) comprising individual elements (4) interconnected by a textile technique, characterized in that the interconnected individual elements (4) hold at least one decorative or functional element (2, 2?, 2?, 12, 12?, 22) between each other, e.g. by braiding in or braiding around.

Abstract: A mandrel for manufacturing a three-dimensional structure from a composite material. The external surface of the mandrel can at least partially correspond to the inner surface of the three-dimensional structure. The mandrel can include a plurality of expandable particles configured to increase responsive to a threshold condition. The mandrel can be configured to crack responsive to a triggering condition.

Abstract: An arrangement (1) for connecting an elongate element (2) used in particular for absorbing and/or transmitting tensile and/or torsional forces to a further component (3) comprises a force introduction element (4) with a side facing the further component (3) and a side facing away from the further component (3) and an encasing element (5) having a closed cross-section, said encasing element encasing the force introduction element (4) at least in some sections and projecting over the force introduction element (4) on its side which faces away from the further component (3). Projections (6) are provided on at least one section of the force introduction element (4) on its outer surface facing the encasing element (5), said projections penetrating the encasing element (5) at least partially.
