Abstract: The stand base is for a surgical microscope. The stand base is for setting up on a floor configured as a planar surface and includes at least a first weight module; a base body defining an underside and accommodating the first weight module; a support arrangement connected to the base body and supporting the stand base with at least three support points in contact engagement with the floor to permit setting up the stand base; the support points conjointly defining a support plane whereat the support points are in contact engagement with the floor; the underside of the base body facing toward the support plane; an ancillary body; the base body having a receiving arrangement in the underside for releasably accommodating the ancillary body; and, the underside of the base body and the support plane conjointly defining a smallest spacing therebetween which is greater than 10 cm.

Abstract: An overturning system is provided for a conveyor system, in particular an airport baggage conveyor system, which is suitable for transporting goods on a conveyor section. The goods can preferably be transported in the transport direction resting in a stable position on the conveyor section and, as the goods pass the conveyor section, the goods are moved into the stable position with the aid of a goods overturning unit. The goods overturning unit is divided into individual segments. The goods, which are initially in a non-stable position, are overturned into a stable position with the goods overturning unit.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for softening paper. An inventive composition and method of its use softens paper products (like tissue paper) by de-bonding its cellulose fibers and by improving the smoothness of the resulting paper. The invention forms a surfactant-polymer complex that attaches de-bonding non-ionic surfactants to cellulose fibers that would otherwise not be retained by the cellulose fibers. This complex prevents the fibers from bonding with each other and makes the paper product smoother. Best of all, the composition is environmentally superior and is a non-toxic.

Abstract: Polysiloxane polyether copolymers with amino groups and/or quaternary ammonium groups in the polyether moiety, process for their preparation from hydrogen siloxanes and chlorine-containing unsaturated polyethers in a hydrosilylation reaction with subsequent substitution of chlorine by amine groups and use as softeners for textile fabrics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions which are suitable for optimizing mineral building material compositions so that the flow behaviour and the deaeration of the compositions is positively influenced, as a result of which very smooth, virtually pore-free surfaces can be achieved. The compositions can consist of a mixture or comprise a mixture which contains at least one component (a) which comprises a compound N which displays a wetting action in aqueous cement-containing binder systems and contains at least one further component (b) which comprises a compound E which has antifoam properties in aqueous cement-containing binder systems. The compound N in component a) can preferably be a nonionic or amphoteric surfactant, preferably an alkyl alkoxylate or a betaine. The compound E in component b) can preferably be a polyetherpolysiloxane on a support material.

Abstract: A reactive ceramic binder in liquid form suitable for producing ceramic products from ceramic powder. The reactive, liquid ceramic binder includes liquid organomodified siloxane compounds having organoalkoxysiloxane units of the general formula (I) where the radicals R1 are, independently of one another, identical or different alkyl, alkaryl or aryl radicals which may be interrupted by ether functions, the radicals R2 are, independently of one another, identical or different radicals selected from H and/or alkyl radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, the radicals R3 are, independently of one another, identical or different divalent, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals which have from 1 to 30 carbon atoms and may be interrupted by ether functions, “a” is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2.5, “b” is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 3, and 1?a+b?3.

Abstract: Aerobic exercise and strength training exercise are simultaneously provided to the body of a motionless patient or non-patient, to gradually increase body strength, increase elasticities of limb arteries, veins and adjacent muscles, reduce heart workload, increase whole body blood flow, provide more oxygen and nutrients to the whole body, increase the rate of removal of cell waste products, to treat, prevent, reduce the rate of progression and reduce the risk of recurrence of diseases and conditions of the whole body. Apparatus provides stretching and compressing muscle exercise for hips, shoulders and limbs of motionless patient or non-patient. A new scientific explanation of aerobic exercise, e.g. walking, is provided which shows the sequence of events within the body during aerobic exercise which causes whole-body benefits shown in hundreds of aerobic exercise studies. The explanation is applied to Alzheimer, Parkinson and Cancer studies to explain the results of the studies.

Abstract: A noninvasive treatment to increase the elasticities of arteries and veins in arms, legs, hands and feet, to reduce heart workload, to increase whole body blood flow, to supply an increased amount of oxygen and nutrients throughout the cardiovascular system and increase the rate of removal of cell waste products, to treat many medical conditions so that symptoms are eliminated or minimized due to improved performance of the body. The noninvasive treatment includes using a vacuum pressure and air pressure system to perform the above, and to passively exercise muscles of arms, legs, hands and feet in a chamber, and is suited for patients who are unable to engage in sufficient exercise on their own.
