Abstract: A method is provided for pulling a bearing body off the rotor of a gas turbine having a casing, while the casing is closed. The method includes fixing a shaft extension on the relevant end of the rotor. In order to free the bearing body of the weight of the rotor, the method involves supporting the rotor and/or holding the rotor. The method further includes fitting sliding elements between the bearing body and the rotor, and moving the bearing body axially along the machine axis onto the shaft extension.

Abstract: A device is provided for lifting equipment including a plurality of outwardly extending struts each of which includes a head portion and a root portion connected to the head portion; and a plurality of separate connection parts, the connection parts being capable of being connected at a first position and a second position to the head portion of the struts. The first position and the second position are located two respective sides of a central axis of the strut, so that the first position and the second position are respectively capable of bearing the gravity load of the equipment and balancing the stress loads which the struts incur when the equipment is lifted by the device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a therapeutically effective truncated survivin and its therapeutic use as vaccine in a liposomal preparation, wherein the survivin fragment is preferably gluconoylated, and said liposomal preparation elicits in-vivo anti-tumor activity. The invention is directed, in more detail, to a cancer vaccine comprising a fragment of human survivin that is specifically effective in conjunction with an lipid adjuvant. The invention relates in more detail to a liposomal vaccine delivery system comprising an active truncated survivin molecule as tumor antigen and a chiral cationic lipid, for example R-DOTAP acting as adjuvant, which is part of the liposome preparation, wherein the liposomal drug delivery system is optimized with regard to its lipid and adjuvant components, physical or physicochemical parameters, and the final therapeutic efficacy of the released truncated survivin molecules.

Abstract: The proposal is for an active ingredient release system with optical endpoint display, comprising (a) a container for accommodating the components, (b) two solvents A and B located therein, which are immiscible or only minorly miscible with one another, (c) at least one active ingredient which serves as solubilizer for the solvents A and B, and (d) a mechanism which allows the release of the active ingredient, but restrains the other volatile constituents of the composition.

Abstract: The invention concerns a door handle module for a vehicle with a door handle, which is mounted to move in a support frame for the opening of a door or hatch by a user, the door handle having at least one rest position and one working position, a mechanical coupling unit, through which movement of the door handle from the rest position to the working position can be transferred to a lock, a crash lock, which prevents movement of the door handle and/or coupling unit during the action of an acceleration force, especially during an accident, so that activation of the lock is avoided.

Abstract: A joining element feed device comprises a supply unit that supplies a joining process with joining elements from a container. The container includes a cover movable between a closed position and an open filling position. The joining element feed device includes an identification device able to identify joining elements that are to be poured into the container and/or a person who intends to pour the joining elements into the container. The identification device includes a reading device for reading an identification code on the joining elements or person and a control unit for verifying or recording the identification code. The joining element feed device further comprises a closing device actuated by the control unit for moving the cover to or locking the cover in the closed position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handle device for a lock unit (7) of a vehicle, comprising a handle part (10) which is movably mounted relative to a door (5) of the vehicle, a locking unit (40) for preventing unintentional opening of the door (5) caused by accelerations acting upon the handle part (10), especially accelerations such as they act upon the vehicle during a crash, the locking unit (40) being displaceable between a locking position (1) and a release position (2), and a movement of the handle part (10) being enabled in the release position (2) and a movement of the handle part (10) being disabled in the locking position (1). The invention is characterized in that an actuating unit (50) is actively connected to the locking unit (40) such that the locking unit (40) can be brought from the locking position (1) into the release position (2) when the actuating unit (50) is activated.

Abstract: A two-phase system containing at least one solvatochromic dye, water, at least one fragrance, and at least one solvent. Wherein the two-phase system includes liquid phases layered one on top of the other. The inventive compositions can be used as exhaustion indicators for fragrance release systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a grip device (10) for a closure device (80) for a movable part (70), such as a door, lid or the like, of a vehicle, comprising a grip part (20), which is movably mounted relative to the movable part (70), wherein the closure device can be connected to the grip part (20) via a connecting element (14) and the grip part (20) is used to actuate the closure device (80). To this end, according to the invention the grip part (20) is composed of at least two parts, wherein a first part (21) is directly or indirectly mounted on the movable part (70) and a second part (22) is arranged movably on the first part (21), which forms an operating part (22) for operating the grip device (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to the purification of target molecules like immunoglobulins from plasma. The use of a certain type of ion exchanger based on a crosslinked polyvinylether results in especially high yields of the target molecule.

Abstract: A handle for a moving part of a motor vehicle, particularly for a door, hatch, tailgate, or the like, having a retaining element which can at least partially be arranged on the outer paneling of the moving part, and having a support which can be arranged on the inside of the moving part and which is attached to the retaining element by means of an attachment means.

Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle has a handle mount, a handle and a coupling device, wherein the handle is coupled to the coupling device in the region of its second handle end which provides a door handle assembly in a structurally simple manner, in which the play in the longitudinal direction of the handle mount, and thus the clearance in the opening in the door panel for the handle ends, is reduced to a minimum. This is achieved in that the second handle end of the handle and a deflection lever of the mechanical coupling device are moveably coupled to one another by a pivotable and hinge-like articulated connection of the second handle end in relation to the deflection lever, when the handle has been actuated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a kit for preparing a radiopharmaceutical, the method comprising the steps: elution of a 68Ge/68Ga-Generator using hydrochloric acid as an eluent for obtaining a generator eluate comprising 68Gallium, feeding the generator eluate through a cation exchange cartridge, which collects the 68Gallium, separating the used eluent, eluting the 68Gallium from the cation exchange cartridge using a solution comprising sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid and feeding the resulting eluate into an aqueous precursor mixture comprising at least a labelling precursor thereby forming a reaction solution.
