Abstract: In order to deliver the current generated by means of photovoltaic solar elements, the invention proposes a connector for a solar module that is accommodated in a connector housing and can be connected to the solar elements. The solar elements are interconnected by means of flat connecting lines and embedding in a translucent sandwich panel. The current is delivered through an opening in one of the sheets of the sandwich panel by means of springable contact elements that are in electric contact with the connecting lines of the solar elements.

Abstract: An assembly and method for performing parallel chemical experiments, in particular crystallisation experiments. The assembly has a main body having a first and a second face on opposite sides thereof. Multiple bores extend through said main body between said first and second face. Tubular liners are provided having openings at opposite ends thereof, each liner removably fitting in a bore in the main body. First closure means close the openings of the liners at the first face of the main body. Second closure means close the openings of the liners at the second face of the main body. The first and second closure means are fastenable to said main body, so that an experimentation chamber is defined within each liner.

Abstract: A side impact beam for a motor vehicle comprising a beam part having a closed section and an insertion part provided in the beam part.

Abstract: A height-adjustable chair column includes a vertical post axially extending along a longitudinal axis, a bottom plate, a guide cylinder bushing permanently inserted into the upper end area of the vertical post, and a guide tube inserted in the guide cylinder bushing so that it is guided with freedom of axial movement and secured against rotation in the guide cylinder bushing. Further, the chair column includes a lockable gas spring assembly with a pressure cylinder, which is installed coaxially in the guide tube such that it is secured against axial displacement relative to the guide tube and it is free to rotate about the longitudinal axis, and with a piston installed in the pressure cylinder with freedom of sliding axially. The piston is connected to a piston rod which is fastened to the bottom plate and supported there with freedom of rotation about the longitudinal axis. Moreover, a height-adjustable foot rest is attached to the upper end region of the guide tube.

Abstract: In order to deliver the current generated by means of photovoltaic solar elements, the invention proposes a connector for a solar module that is accommodated in a connector housing and can be connected to the solar elements. The solar elements are interconnected by means of flat connecting lines and embedded in a translucid sandwich panel. The current is delivered through an opening in one of the sheets of the sandwich panel by means of springable contact elements that are in electric contact with the connecting lines of the solar elements.

Abstract: A web-based investment advisory system and method to assist financial advisors in delivering personalized investment advisory services to investors. An advisor assesses a client's investment profile (112) for evaluating the risk dimensions of the client's current portfolio holdings (118), compares investment risks classification based upon portfolio holdings (122), recommends specific portfolio changes (132) based on asset classes to create an optimized portfolio for the client's investment profile and suggests specific investment products available through the advisor and integrates with the advisors trading platform for executing purchase and sales orders (134).

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor has a carrier element (1) made from metal, on which a holder (2) with a sensor element (3) is fixed in a set position. For this, the holder (2) engages with holding tongues (9, 10), having barbs (11), in recesses (12, 13) in the holder (2). An interspace (15), filled up by an extrusion coating (16), which also surrounds the remaining holder (2) hermetically, exists between the holder (2) and the carrier element (1) through the bearing of the holder (2) against a stop surface (14) of the holding tongue (9, 10).

Abstract: The present invention is a web-based investment advisory system and method to assist financial advisors in delivering personalized investment advisory services to investors.
