Abstract: The application relates to a method for producing a moulded part assembly from a first plastic moulded part and a second plastic moulded part by means of laser welding, wherein the first plastic moulded part consists at least partially of a first material and the second plastic moulded part consists at least partially of a second material that can be welded to the first material, wherein a welding region of the second plastic moulded part is arranged in a stepped receiving means of the first plastic moulded part, or vice versa. According to the invention, during the laser welding, the first plastic moulded part and the second plastic moulded part are to be shifted onto one another in a shifting direction. The invention also relates to a production device for producing a moulded part assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a controlled-release oral dosage form for administration of oxycodone once a day and a method of preparing a controlled-release oral dosage form for administration of oxycodone once a day.

Abstract: A plug-in connector for detachably connecting two lines has a first connector element, a second connector element, a carrier element to be fixed to the first connector element, and a latching element with at least one latching arm. The latching arm is disposed on the carrier element and when it is in a latching position, latches onto a matching latching element of the second connector element. The latching element is axially displaceable to assume a latching arm securing position and a latching arm release position relative to the carrier element. An operating element is provided on the carrier element for actuation in the latching arm release position to displace the latching arm into a separating position and which, when actuated in the latching arm securing position, retains the latching element in the latching arm securing position.

Abstract: Push fit coupling and method for connecting two fluid lines. The coupling includes a first element having a plug-in opening, a second element insertable into the plug-in opening, a retaining device for detachably holding the first and second elements together, and a valve, insertable into the plug-in opening, located on a front face of the second element.

Abstract: A valve (49) which is intended for insertion into the line connecting a fuel pump to a system of injection valves and which is designed as a pressure-maintaining valve is characterized by a pipe body (50) intended to have a flow passing through it, into which a sleeve (53) is inserted which forms a damping cylinder (55) in a middle region, inside which damping cylinder one end of a blocking body (57) is received so as to be able to slide in the direction of the axis (58) of the pipe body (50). The opposite end of the blocking body (57) is characterized by a sealing body (67) which is formed from an elastomeric material and which cooperates with a valve seat (66) which is allocated a through bore (65) in a transverse wall (63) of the pipe body (50). The blocking body (57) lies against this valve seat under resilient pretensioning and the movement of the blocking body is damped or is accompanied by the lowest possible noise development by reason of the cooperation with the damping cylinder.

A unit dosage form includes: a heterogeneous mixture of alfuzosin hydrochloride anhydrate, lactose monohydrate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone and magnesium stearate, wherein the heterogeneous mixture is heterogeneously distributed throughout the unit dosage form. A manufacturing process includes: mixing a hydrophilic polymer and alfuzosin to provide a blend; granulating the blend to provide granules; drying the granules on a dryer to provide dried granules; sizing the dried granules to provide sized granules; mixing the sized granules with a lubricant to obtain a mixture; and compressing the mixture to obtain a tablet. A method of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, includes administering to a patient the composition or unit dosage form once a day.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a boat shell having a hull and deck molded together as a unitary piece in a single molding step is provided. A two part mold is provided including a first and a second mold half. Prior to molding the two halves are separated and materials which are used to form the inner layer, core and outer layer of the shell, are laid up within each half. Cooperative inserts are also removably secured to opposing upper and lower edges of the first and second mold halves. The inserts are then removed, a vacuum is created within the mold, and the shell is heated until cured. By overlapping and curing the port and starboard sides, the two sides become molded in a permanent manner such that the deck and hull of the boat are formed together as a unitary boat shell in a single molding step.
