Abstract: A polypeptide contains laminin beta-4 and a carrier contains the polypeptide. An antibody, preferably autoantibody, is against laminin beta-4. Furthermore, use of the polypeptide, carrier or autoantibody for the diagnosis of a disease, and a method with the step of detecting an autoantibody against laminin beta-4 in a sample are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for filling a product, comprising—at least one metering device (18) for metering a specific amount of the product that is to be filled in the packaging material tube, —a sensor device (20) for detecting characteristic properties, in particular a mass and/or density and/or volume of the product, wherein the sensor device (20) is arranged such that it determines the characteristic properties of the product located in the metering device (18).

Abstract: A system for warning of an imminent collision between a towing vehicle (2) and a trailer (3) when reversing includes an arrangement for providing a warning signal to a driver of the vehicle dependent on an angle between a longitudinal axis of the towing vehicle (2) and a longitudinal axis of the trailer (3), when there is the threat of a collision between the towing vehicle (2) and the trailer (3) while reversing.

Abstract: A system and method for warning of an imminent collision between a towing vehicle and a trailer when reversing a towing vehicle with a trailer. The invention relates to a system for warning of an imminent collision between a towing vehicle (2) and a trailer (3) when reversing a towing vehicle (2) with a trailer (3), with a monitoring facility (5) for continuously monitoring an angle between a longitudinal axis of the towing vehicle (2) and a longitudinal axis of the trailer (3) when reversing the towing vehicle (2), in order to detect whether there is the threat of a collision between the towing vehicle (2) and the trailer (3), and to generate a warning signal if there is the threat of a collision between the towing vehicle (2) and the trailer (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to process for operating a clean room and to a control device for a clean room, the clean room (10) comprising a work room (12, 13, 14), a room ventilation system (15) and a control device (16), the room ventilation system being controlled and/or regulated by means of the control device, an air exchange rate in the work room and a pressure difference between the work room and an environment (25) being generated by means of the room ventilation system, the control device comprising at least one sensor device (19) for registering an actual value representing an operating parameter, wherein the air exchange rate is adjusted by means of the control device in such a manner that the actual value is in the range of a target value.

Abstract: A blister strip for receiving medical and/or pharmaceutical and/or food supplement products, includes a roll-up single-web product carrier that can be divided into individual blister sections. The single-web product carrier has individual nests, one behind the other in its direction of transport defining a division of the blister strip for receiving single products, as well as a film-like cover for closing the nests. Each product is arranged in sealed form within a nest. Each nest has a holding chamber formed with two steps and a depression independent of the product geometry and a depression dependent on the product geometry. The depth of the product-independent depression starting from the cover on the one hand being so great that the blister strip can be laterally guided mechanically along the product-independent depression, and on the other hand being less than the thickness of the smallest product to be received within the nest.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically mounting substrates with medical and/or pharmaceutical and/or food-supplementing products, including at least one magazine to store blister strips rolled up on rolls or the like, each magazine having at least one holding position for the rolls, a delivery device to unroll the blister strips and deliver the unrolled blister strips to a supply position for the products provided by each roll in the magazine to be mounted, a separating device for separating product-filled blister sections from the blister strip, and a mounting head to receive, rotate and dispense the separated blister sections with the products sealed therein, the mounting head controlled by a control system to transport the separated blister sections from the supply position to a mounting position over the substrate.

Abstract: A package contains a package insert (3) for fixing objects (30, 31) in place, comprising a web (6) and, arranged in the web, recesses (10, 11) which each partially receive an object (30, 31). The package insert has mutually opposite sections (4, 5, 48, 50) which are connected to each other and between which in each case a group of two objects is arranged. Each section (4, 5) is provided with predetermined tear lines (15) for predefining tear-off package units (14), in such a way that a package unit (14), with the group of objects fixed therein, can be separated from the package insert (3).

Abstract: A method of processing a sheet metal sheet with a combined punching and forming machine includes spraying a lubricant onto on a lower side of the sheet metal sheet in a first forming position on the sheet, forming the sheet metal sheet at the first forming position with a first forming tool, and forming the sheet metal sheet with the second forming tool at a second forming position on the sheet metal sheet after spraying the lubricant onto the first forming position and before forming the sheet metal sheet at the first forming position.

Abstract: An apparatus positions sheets preferably moving in a combination folding machine and defines a trailing edge range. A trailing edge of the sheet is to be positioned in a transport direction, depending on the dimensions of the sheet. The apparatus has positioning devices, by which the trailing edge can be positioned. The positioning devices are fixed to a carrier, and also a carrier actuating device is provided, by which the carrier can be moved by a predefined actuating travel in the transport direction of the sheets, so that the trailing edge is positioned within a trailing edge positioning range. The positioning devices are fixed to the carrier such that the respectively different trailing edge positioning ranges of the individual positioning devices in total cover the entire trailing edge range but each respective trailing edge positioning range is shorter in the transport direction than the trailing edge range.
